Answer:

Explanation:

t = 2s

u = 0m/s (released from rest)

a = +g = 9.8m/s²

s = H = ?

using,

s = ut + 1/2at²

H = 0(2) + 1/2(9.8)(2²)

H = 0 + 9.8(2)

s = H = 19.6m

What is equilibrium????

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

An equilibrium is a state in which opposing forces or influences are banned.

An example of equilibrium is in economics when supply and demand are equal. An example of equilibrium is when you are calm and steady. An example of equilibrium is when hot air and cold air are entering the room at the same time so that the overall temperature of the room does not change at all.

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu

Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.

Electrons that are further away from the nucleus have more energy. As they enter an "excited" state, they jump up orbits.

A student places an object with a mass of m on a disk at a position r from the center of the disk. The student starts rotating t

koban [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the object on the disk experiments a centrifugal force due to static friction. From 2nd Newton's Law, we can represent the object by the following formula:

$\Sigma F_{r} = \mu_{s}\cdot N = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$ (1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0$ (2)

Where:

$N$ - Normal force from the ground on the object, measured in newtons.

$m$ - Mass of the object, measured in newtons.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$v$ - Linear speed of rotation of the disk, measured in meters per second.

$R$ - Distance of the object from the center of the disk, measured in meters.

By applying (2) on (1), we obtain the following formula:

$\mu_{s}\cdot m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot R}$

If we know that $v = 0.8\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $R = 0.75\,m$ , then the coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is:

$\mu_{s} = \frac{\left(0.8\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.75\,m)}$

$\mu_{s} = 0.087$

The coefficient of static friction between the object and the disk is 0.087.
