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

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

Answer:

Squids = 450 - 490 nm (Moderate Frequency) (Blue)

Bees = 300 - 650 nm (Lower Frequency Bands)

Frogs = 280 - 580 nm (Very Low Frequency)

Explanation:

All of the above mentioned ranges are compared to that of humans.

I'm just surprised a little bit in the imagination that how these organisms see the world through their unique eyes. On the other hands, they are evolved like this just like we do so that may not be surprising enough. SIKE

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

BigorU [14]
In electronics, the SI unit for current is Ampere. It is the amount of charge in Coulombs per unit time. It is named after the father of electrodynamics, Andre-Marie Ampere. Also, the current can be easily determined through the Ohm's Law, which states that current is equal to volts divided by the resistance. The answer is letter D.
