If you pull a resistant puppy with its leash in a horizontal direction, it takes 80 N to get it going. You can then keep it movi

ng at constant speed across the floor with a constant, horizontal force of 70 N. The puppy has a weight of 110 N. What is the coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Explanation:

The horizontal force applied to move the puppy from a steady state has to be greater than the force of static friction, after it is moving the force needs to be equal to be greater than the force of dynamic friction in order to maintain its movement. The force of static friction is given by:

F_s = \mu_s*N

Where F_s is the static friction force, \mu_s is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. Since there's no angle on the flor the normal force is equal to the weight of the puppy, therefore, N = 110\text{ N}, to make the puppy moving we need to use a force of 80 N, therefore, F_s = 80 \text{ N}, so we can solve for the coefficient as shown below:

80 = \mu_s*110\\\mu_s = \frac{80}{110} = 0.7273\\

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Think about it: suppose a meteorite collided head-on with mars and becomes buried under mars's surface. what would be the elasti
Ket [755]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the s
yawa3891 [41]

Hello!

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the spring ?

Data:

E_{pe}\:(elastic\:potential\:energy) = 5184\:J

K\:(constant) = 16200\:N/m

x\:(displacement) =\:?

For a spring (or an elastic), the elastic potential energy is calculated by the following expression:

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

Where k represents the elastic constant of the spring (or elastic) and x the deformation or displacement suffered by the spring.

Solving:  

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

5184 = \dfrac{16200*x^2}{2}

5184*2 = 16200*x^2

10368 = 16200\:x^2

16200\:x^2 = 10368

x^{2} = \dfrac{10368}{16200}

x^{2} = 0.64

x = \sqrt{0.64}

\boxed{\boxed{x = 0.8\:m}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:  

The displacement of the spring = 0.8 m

What properties of the wave define why it is found within this area of the spectrum?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed and medium are properties of a wave which is in common within an area of the spectrum of visible light. i.e;

Their medium of propagation

They both travel at the same speed ( speed of light )

The properties mentioned above are properties that define that wave is found within an area spectrum for visible light.
