Answer:

a = 8 m/s^2, Ffriction = 10 N, μk = 0.205

Explanation:

a. Force = Mass*Acceleration,

(since you didn't add the units..."5 block"....for the mass, I will assume it to be in kg, per SI units)

40 N = 5 kg*acceleration,

a = 40/5 = 8 m/s^2

b. As you know newtons second law (F=m*a) is actually in the form Fnet = m*a. Which means that if the friction force comes into play, it would be Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a.

Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a,

40 - Ffriction = 5*6,

40 - Ffriction = 30,

Ffriction = 40 - 30 = 10 N

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated by the formula "Ffriction = μk*Fnormal".

10 = μk*Fnormal (Fnormal = m*g = 5*9.8)

10 = μk*49,

μk=10/49 ≈ 0.205

A car moves round a circular track of radius 0.3m of two revolution per/sec find its angular velocity.
Pie

Answer:

the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m

number of revolutions  per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s

The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;

From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.

\omega = 2 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 4\pi \ rad/s = 12.568 \ rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

Consider an object rolling off of your lab bench. Discuss how you might be able to make measure- ments to determine its initial
guapka [62]

Answer:

measure the position every so often with a stopwatch

Explanation:

A possible method of measurement is to place a measuring tape along the path and measure the position every so often with a stopwatch, with this we can make a graph of position against time and by extrapolation find the initial velocity.

This is a method used in measurements of uniform movements of bodies

Which of the following is a way earth’s water (hydrosphere) is directly affected by pollution?
ASHA 777 [7]

The toxic runoff from the farms will directly enters the water bodies of the earth through the drainage system.

The emissions from the cars will go into atmosphere and will react with water and then it will enter the earth's water. So, it is not directly affecting the earth's water.

The dumping trash on roadsides do not enter the earth's water. It can enter the earth's water through rains.

The production of oxygen by trees is not pollution.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.
eduard

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time  a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time  gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a  the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

          x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

         v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

         x =v₀ t + ½ a t²
