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

What are 2 way X-rays and radio waves are different

Kaylis [27]

There are two main points that should be emphasized about the different types of electromagnetic radiation. The sequence from longest wavelength (radio waves) to shortest wavelength (gamma rays) is also a sequence in energy from lowest energy to highest energy

hope this helps you!✌

Two identical charges, each -8.00 E-5 C, are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm (100 cm = 1 m). What is the force of repulsion?

Rom4ik [11]

F = 1440 N. The repulsion force between two identical charges, each -8.00x10⁻⁵C separated by a distance of 20.0 cm is 1440 N.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using Coulomb's Law given by the equation $F=k\frac{|q_{1}*q_{2}|}{r^{2} }$ , where k is the constant of proportionality or Coulomb's constant, q₁ and q₂ are the charges magnitude, and r is the distance between them.

We have to identical charges of -8.00x10⁻⁵C, are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm, and we need to know the force of repulsion between the charges.

First, we have to convert 20.0 cm to meters.

(20.0 cm x 1m)/100cm = 0.20 m

Using the Coulomb's Law equation:

$F = 9.00x10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} \frac{|-8.00x10^{-5}C*-8.00x10^{-5}C|}{(0.20m)^{2} }$

$F = 9.00x10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}(1.6x10^-7\frac{C^{2} }{m^{2} } })\\F = 1440N$

A billiard ball with a mass of 0.15 kg has a velocity of 5 m/s. It strikes the bumper of the table perpendicularly and bounces s

Marianna [84]

Initial momentum = 0.15 kg * (-5 m/s) = - 0.75 N*s

final momentum = 0.15 * ( 3 m/s) = 0.45 N*s

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentun =

= 0.45N*s - (- 0.75N*s) = 1.2 N*s

Answer: 1.2 N*s

Look at the Sankey diagram for an energy saving light bulb below. What is the bulb's efficiency?

lara [203]

It depends on what you're using this lightbulb for.

If you're using it to illuminate your walk-in closet, then it's 75% efficient.

If you're using it to warm the basket where the newborn kittens are, then it's only 25% efficient.
