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>

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

The half-life of caffeine is 5 hours. If you ingested a 30 oz Big Gulp, how many oz of caffeine is left after one half life? * Y
xeze [42]

Answer:

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for a radioactive substance to degenerate or decay to half of its original size.

The half life of caffeine is 5 hours. So ingesting a 30 oz, this would be reduced to half of its size after the first 5 hours.

So that:

After one half life of 5 hours, the value of caffeine that would be left is;

                                    \frac{30}{2} = 15 oz

The amount of caffeine left after one half life of 5 hours is 15 oz.
