A string is being pulled with a force of 20 N and moves a 5 kg block to the left at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of

friction for between the floor and the block? Enter your answer as a decimal value (Example: 0.72) * I think the answer is 20 but this question is starting frustrating me

Answer:

μ = 0.4

Explanation:

As, the object is moving at a constant speed. Therefore, the unbalanced force on it must be equal to zero. So, the frictional force on the object must be equal to the force applied to it:

F = frictional force

F = μR = μW = μmg

where,

F = Applied Force  = 20 N

μ = coefficient of friction between wall and floor = ?

m = mass of block = 5 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

20 N = μ(5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

μ = 20 N/49 N

<u>μ = 0.4</u>

A. Group of cross country runners decided to go on an hour and a half run. During the first hour, they ran a total of 13 kilomet
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The average speed for the entire run is 12 km/h.

Explanation:      

The average speed is given by the following equation:

\overline{v} = \frac{d_{T}}{t_{T}}

Where:

d_{T}: is the total distance

t_{T}: is the total time

If during the first hour, they ran a total of 13 kilometers and then, they ran 5.0 kilometers during the next half an hour we have:

d_{T} = 13 km + 5 km = 18 km

t_{T} = 1 h + \frac{1}{2} h = 1.5 h

Hence, the average speed is:

\overline{v} = \frac{d_{T}}{t_{T}} = \frac{18 km}{1.5 h} = 12 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the entire run is 12 km/h.

I hope it helps you!

What's the time constant of a 10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series
melamori03 [73]
<h3>Option B</h3><h3>The time constant of a 10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series is 50 millisecond</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

10 H inductor and a 200 ohm resistor connected in series

To find: time constant

<em><u>The time constant in seconds is given as:</u></em>

Time\ constant = \frac{L}{R}

Where,

L is the inductance in henry and R is the resistance in ohms

Time\ constant = \frac{10}{200}\\\\Time\ constant = 0.05\ seconds

Convert to millisecond

1 second = 1000 millisecond

0.05 second = 0.05 x 1000 = 50 millisecond

Thus time constant is 50 millisecond

A charged particle with charge of 2 (uC) and mass 10-20 (kg) is traveling with velocity of 108 (m/s) in space. The charge reache
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) Let the angle be θ between magnetic field and velocity of charged particle

Force created on charged particle F

= Bqv sinθ, B is magnetic field , q is charge , v is velocity of charged particle

F = .05 x 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁸ x sinθ

8 = 10 sinθ

sinθ = .8

θ =  53°.

B )

acceleration = force / mass

= 8 / 10⁻²⁰

= 8 x 10²⁰ m / s²

Why is evidence of meteorite impact rare on earth, despite the fact that meteoroids often pass into earth's atmosphere?
DENIUS [597]
The fact is your rooftop is covered with dust particles from meteorites. Outerspace is full of debris. Every day, thousands of meteorites invade our home but thanks to atmosphere for keeping us safe from them :D
When these meteorites enter our atmosphere, they experience resistance to the particles present in our atmosphere. As a result they catch fire(and eventually melts) and lose all their energy before falling on the surface. This happens with very small sized meteorites but when bigger ones enter, they surely hit the surface because they are difficult to melt.
Thanks to Jupiter for saving us from asteroids. Bigger ones rarely enters our atmosphere because of Jupiter's gravitational pull. It lures all the debris towards itself (:
