Answer:

miu = 0.31

Explanation:

The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

$f=miu*N$

where:

f = friction force = 3 [N]

miu = friction coefficient

N = normal force [N]

The normal force on a horizontal surface can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravity.

where:

m = mass = 1 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$N=m*g\\N=1*9.81$

$N= 9,81 [N]$

Now replacing in the equation above, we can find the friction coefficient.

$miu=3/9.81\\miu = 0.31$

a wave in the ocean has an amplitude of 3m. Winds pick up suddenly, increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. How does this change

Paha777 [63]

Answer

Hi,

An increase in amplitude from 3m to 6 m increases the energy it transports. The frequency of the wave is not affected

Explanation

Amplitude is the height of a wave where as frequency is the number of waves that pass by each second. A wave with bigger amplitude has more energy than a wave with smaller amplitude. A point where more waves pass contains more energy that is transferred every second. The change in the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. However, frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of a wave.

Best Wishes!

Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.

zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum. That's a no-brainer. But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The tensions in $T_{BC}$ is approximately 4,934.2 lb and the tension in $T_{BD}$ is approximately 6,035.7 lb

Explanation:

The given information are;

The angle formed by the two rope segments are;

The angle, Φ, formed by rope segment BC with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 26.0°

The angle, θ, formed by rope segment BD with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 21.0°

Therefore, we have;

The tension in rope segment BC = $T_{BC}$

The tension in rope segment BD = $T_{BD}$

The tension in rope segment AB = $T_{AB}$ = Pulling force of tugboat = 1200 lb

By resolution of forces acting along the line A_F gives;

$T_{BC}$ × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = $T_{AB}$ = 1200 lb

$T_{BC}$ × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb............(1)

Similarly, we have for equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting perpendicular to tow cable = 0, therefore, we have;

$T_{BC}$ × sin(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°) = 0...........................(2)

Which gives;

$T_{BC}$ × sin(26.0°) = - $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°)

$T_{BC}$ = - $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°)/(sin(26.0°)) ≈ - $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175

Substituting the value of, $T_{BC}$ , in equation (1), gives;

- $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175 × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb

- $T_{BD}$ × 0.7348 + $T_{BD}$ ×0.9336 = 1200 lb

$T_{BD}$ ×0.1988 = 1200 lb

$T_{BD}$ ≈ 1200 lb/0.1988 = 6,035.6938 lb

$T_{BD}$ ≈ 6,035.6938 lb

$T_{BC}$ ≈ - $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175 = 6,035.6938 × 0.8175 = -4934.1733 lb

$T_{BC}$ ≈ -4934.1733 lb

From which we have;

The tensions in $T_{BC}$ ≈ -4934.2 lb and $T_{BD}$ ≈ 6,035.7 lb.
