The weight of the box is 50x9.8 = 490 N. The force of friction is 100N. F= μΝ so coefficient = 100/490 = 0.20

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it

TiliK225 [7]

Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.

A(n) 1100 kg car is parked on a 4◦ incline. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the force of friction keeping the ca

igomit [66]

Answer:

Force of friction, f = 751.97 N

Explanation:

it is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

It is parked on a 4° incline. We need to find the force of friction keeping the car from sliding down the incline.

From the attached figure, it is clear that the normal and its weight is acting on the car. f is the force of friction such that it balances the x component of its weight i.e.

$f=mg\ sin\theta$

$f=1100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\ sin(4)$

f = 751.97 N

So, the force of friction on the car is 751.97 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

You want to manufacture a guitar such that the instrument will be in tune when each of the strings are tightened to the same ten

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

0.000507 kg/m

Explanation:

L = Length of string

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Mass density of string

E denotes the E string

D denotes the D String

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

So

$f\propto \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{\mu}}$

$\dfrac{f_D}{f_E}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu_E}{\mu_D}}\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=\dfrac{f_D^2}{f_E^2}\mu_D\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=\dfrac{146.83^2}{329.63^2}\times 0.00256\\\Rightarrow \mu_E=0.000507\ kg/m$

The mass density of the E string is 0.000507 kg/m
