The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction.
Fnet = ma = F - Ff
12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.
Answer:
laser pointer does not make use of total internal reflection
Answer:
tension in rope = 25.0 N
Explanation:
- Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.
- Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.
∑F = F - W = 0
so
F = W
so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
Explanation:
Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.
Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.
<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.
