A 15-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 29 N. Starting from rest, the sle

d attains a speed of 3.0 m/s in 8.8 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow.

Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2 a s

3² = 0 + 2 x a x 8.8

a = .511 m / s²

Let the frictional force acting on sled be F

F = m a

29 - F = 15 x .511

29 - F = 7.665

F = 21.335 N.

F = μ R , R = mg , μ is coefficient of kinetic friction.

F = μ x mg

μ = F / mg

= 21.335 / 15 x 9.8

= .145

coefficient of kinetic friction = .145

How does the structure of the stigma aid in pollination
natali 33 [55]
<span>Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female part of a plant. The stigma is the central part of the flower, that is supported by a style and is part of the female reproductive organ within plants. Its structure is optimised to promote pollination by having hairs, sticky surfaces and three-dimensional sculptures that capture and trap pollen.</span>

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm
Leya [2.2K]
If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  l = 2.0 \ m

    The width is  w = 4.0 \ m

   The charge is  q =  -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C

    The mass suspended in mid-air is m_a =  5.0 \mu g =  5.0 *10^{-6} \ g =  5.0 *10^{-9} \  kg

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{ 2 *  A  *  \epsilon _o}

Where \epsilon _o is the permittivity of free space with value \epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12}  \ \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

           E =  \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 *  (2 * 4 )  *  8.85*10^{-12}}

           E = -70621.5 \  N/C

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        F__{E}} =  F__{G}}

=>     q_d *  E  =  m * g

=>      q_d  =  \frac{m * g}{E}

=>      q_d  =  \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}

=>     q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C
