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

The distance covered by a car at a time, t is given by x = 20t + 6t4, calculate

Anni [7]

Answer:

(i) v = 44 m/s

(ii) a = 72 m/s^2

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the potion of a car:

$x=20t+6t^4$

(i) The instantaneous velocity is the derivative of x in time:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=20+(6)(4)t^3=20+24t^3$

for t = 1 is:

$v(t=1)=\frac{dx}{dt}=20+24(1)^3=44m/s$

(ii) The instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity:

$\frac{dv}{dt}=24(3)t^2=72t^2$

for t = 1

$a(t=1)=\frac{dv}{dt}=72(1)^2=72m/s^2$

A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Speed of larger piece is $\dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Explanation:

We apply the principle of conservation of momentum.

The watermelon is initially at rest. The initial momentum = 0 kg m/s in all directions.

After the collision,

Vertical momentum = momentum of piece in y-direction + y-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{ly}$

Here, $v_{ly}$ is the y-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{ly}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

Horizontal momentum = momentum of piece in x-direction + x-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{lx}$

Here, $v_{lx}$ is the x-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is also equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{lx}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

The velocity of the larger piece, $v_l$ , is the resultant of $v_{lx}$ and $v_{ly}$ . Since they are mutually perpendicular,

$v_l = \sqrt{v_{ly}^2+v_{lx}^2}= \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2}$

$v_l = \dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

An electric field has both magnitude and direction.
I don't think that's one of the first 3 choices.
