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>

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration
kiruha [24]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
  
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

                       =  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second)  = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration  =  (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days)  =  2,873.58 inch/hour²
