Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force = 5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

6.<br> What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

742.57 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travels by a rocket = 9000 metres

Time taken by rocket = 12.12 seconds

Questioned asked:

Speed of rocket = ?

Solution:

By applying formula, speed = distance traveled divided by time taken

$speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\ = \frac{9000}{12.12} \\ = 742.57m/s$

Therefore, the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds is 742.57 meters per seconds.

At room temperature what is the strength of the electric field in a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm that is needed to cau

Dima020 [189]

Electric field strength = resistivity of copper x current density
where
p= 1.72 x 10^-8 <span>ohm meter
diameter = 2.05mm=.00205 m
current = 2.75 A
</span>get first the current density:
current density = current/ cross section area
find the cross section area
cross section area = pi.(d/2)^2;
cross section = 3.3 006x10-6 m^2
substitute the values
current density = 2.75A/3.3006x 10-6m^2
current density=35.55 x1 0^2 A/m^2
Electric field stregnth =1.72 x 10^-8 ohm meter x 35.55 x10^2 A/m^2
Electric field stregnth= 46.415 Volts/m

The electric field strength of copper is 46.415 V/m.
