Answer:

0,2 would be the coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

Remember that the force necessary to move an object over a horizontal surface is the weight of the object multiplied by the coeficient of friction, an the formula is this:

$Friction= u*N$

Where u is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force, or in this case the weight of the object so if we solve for U the formula would be like this:

$u=\frac{Friction}{N}$

Now we just insert the data we know:

$u=\frac{Friction}{N}\\u=\frac{5N}{25N}\\ u=0,2$

So the coefficient of friction would be 0.2

Static friction is the friction that exists between two or more solids that are not moving with a relative speed. To calculate the static friction coefficient we use the formula Fs=us × n where Fs is the static friction , us is the coefficient of static friction and the n is the normal force.
thus the coefficient of static friction will be 5 N÷ 25 N = 0.2
Hence 0.2 is the coefficient of static friction

Oxygen. Plants need water sunlight and CO2 to make their food. They get the carbon and the energy from the CO2 and the sun, and they need water as well. Then they release oxygen

Answer:

A) The acceleration is zero

B) The total distance is 112 m

Explanation:

Velocity vs Time Graph

It shows the behavior of the velocity as time increases. If the velocity increases, then the acceleration is positive, if the velocity decreases, the acceleration is negative, and if the velocity is constant, then the acceleration is zero.

The graph shows a horizontal line between points A and B. It means the velocity didn't change in that interval. Thus the acceleration in that zone is zero.

A. To calculate the acceleration, we use the formula:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

Let's pick the extremes of the region AB: (0,8) and (12,8). The acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{8-8}{12-0}=0$

This confirms the previous conclusion.

B. The distance covered by the body can be calculated as the area behind the graph. Since the velocity behaves differently after t=12 s, we'll split the total area into a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of rectangle= base*height=12 s * 8 m/s = 96 m

Area of triangle= base*height/2 = 4 s * 8 m/s /2= 16 m

The total distance is: 96 m + 16 m = 112 m

Answer:

B. an inverse relationship

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Ricardo is on vacation, doing some mountain climbing. He notices that the higher he goes up a mountain, the colder he feels. He remembers his physics teacher teaching about these types of relationships. What is the type of relationship between mountain elevation and temperature? A. a positive relationship B. an inverse relationship C. a neutral relationship D. a direct relationship

Solution

It is an inverse relationship because, as Ricardo's mountain elevation increases, he feels colder. So, as his mountain elevation increases, the temperature decreases.

Since one variable decreases while the other increases, it can only be an inverse relationship.

Let h be Ricardo's mountain elevation and T his temperature. So by inverse proportionality,

h ∝ 1/T

h = k/T

hT = k = constant

So, we have an inverse relationship and B is the answer.
