Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.

At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). It travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6

Elis [28]

The particle has constant acceleration according to

$\vec a(t)=2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k$

Its velocity at time $t$ is

$\displaystyle\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du$

$\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+(2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k)t$

$\vec v(t)=(v_{0x}+2t)\,\vec\imath+(v_{0y}-4t)\,\vec\jmath+(v_{0z}-2t)\,\vec k$

Then the particle has position at time $t$ according to

$\displaystyle\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du$

$\vec r(t)=(3+v_{0x}t+t^2)\,\vec\imath+(6+v_{0y}t-2t^2)\,\vec\jmath+(9+v_{0z}t-t^2)\,\vec k$

At at the point (3, 6, 9), i.e. when $t=0$ , it has speed 8, so that

$\|\vec v(0)\|=8\iff{v_{0x}}^2+{v_{0y}}^2+{v_{0z}}^2=64$

We know that at some time $t=T$ , the particle is at the point (5, 2, 7), which tells us

$\begin{cases}3+v_{0x}T+T^2=5\\6+v_{0y}T-2T^2=2\\9+v_{0z}T-T^2=7\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}v_{0x}=\dfrac{2-T^2}T\\\\v_{0y}=\dfrac{2T^2-4}T\\\\v_{0z}=\dfrac{T^2-2}T\end{cases}$

and in particular we see that

$v_{0y}=-2v_{0x}$

and

$v_{0z}=-v_{0x}$

Then

${v_{0x}}^2+(-2v_{0x})^2+(-v_{0x})^2=6{v_{0x}}^2=64\implies v_{0x}=\pm\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3$

$\implies v_{0y}=\mp\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3$

$\implies v_{0z}=\mp\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3$

That is, there are two possible initial velocities for which the particle can travel between (3, 6, 9) and (5, 2, 7) with the given acceleration vector and given that it starts with a speed of 8. Then there are two possible solutions for its position vector; one of them is

$\vec r(t)=\left(3+\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t+t^2\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(6-\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3t-2t^2\right)\,\vec\jmath+\left(9-\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t-t^2\right)\,\vec k$

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?

Akimi4 [234]

<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>
