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.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a satellite that is given as (T) and the mean distance from the central body (R) are connected by the following equation: representing T as the satellite period, R will be represented as the average radius of orbit for the satellite (which is the distance from center of central planet)

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ and filling in:

$2.5=\frac{v}{2.0}$ so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the

Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

$P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}$

Given $P_{1} = 1 atm$ , $V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter$ and $P_{2} = 0.75\ atm$ .

Thus,

$V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1} }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3$

Answer:

Explanation:

In a series circuit all the components are attached to one branch, so that if one component fails, all the others stop working. In a parallel circuit, however, the components are wired in separate branches, so that even if one branch fails, the rest are not disrupted.
