Answer:

Calculating Coefficient of friction is 0.229.

Force is 4.5 N that keep the block moving at a constant speed.

Explanation:

We know that speed expression is as \mathrm{V}^{2}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}+2 . \mathrm{a} . \Delta \mathrm{s}.

Where, {V}_{i} is initial speed, V is final speed, ∆s displacement and a acceleration.

Given that,

{V}_{i} =3 m/s, V = 0 m/s, and  ∆s = 2 m

Substitute the values in the above formula,

0=3^{2}-2 \times 2 \times a

0 = 9 - 4a

4a = 9

a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

a=2.25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} is the acceleration.

Calculating Coefficient of friction:

\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}

\mathrm{F}=\mu \times \mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{g}

Compare the above equation

\mu \times m \times g=m \times a

Cancel "m" common term in both L.H.S and R.H.S

\text { Equation becomes, } \mu \times g=a

\text { Coefficient of friction } \mu=\frac{a}{g}

\mathrm{g} \text { on earth surface }=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

\mu=\frac{2.25}{9.8}

\mu=0.229

Hence coefficient of friction is 0.229.

calculating force:

\text { We know that } \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m} \times \mathrm{a}

\mathrm{F}=2 \times 2.25 \quad(\mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{kg} \text { given })

F = 4.5 N

Therefore, the force would be <u>4.5 N</u> to keep the block moving at a constant speed across the floor.

A 9.5 V battery supplies a 3.5 mA current to a circuit for 7.0 h. Part A How much charge has been transferred from the negative
pychu [463]

Answer:

88.2 C

Explanation:

The current can be defined as the rate of flow of charge in a conductor.

The relation between charge current and time is given as

I = Q/T

I = current, Q= charge and T = time

that is ampere = coulomb / second

The amount of charge passed is from the negative to the positive terminal

shall be given by:

Q = I * t = 3.5mA * 7h * 3600s/h = 88.2 C

Note: take care of the units.

Which of the following BEST describes a deer?
ad-work [718]
If we go down the list,

It wouldn’t be Primary Producer because Deer don’t really produce anything

Can’t be Carnivore because deer don’t eat meat

Same with tertiary

They do eat plants. So it would have to be the last one

Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
Helen [10]

It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.

-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger.  this is bigger than atoms.

-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long.  About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch.  These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.

-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long.     You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch.  Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.

-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.

Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.

The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.
