Answer:

h = 5.09 m

Explanation:

Applying the Law of conservation of energy to this situation, we can write:

$Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ by\ the\ Cart = Potential\ Energy\ Lost\ by\ the\ Cart\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

where,

h = height of the hill = ?

v = speed of cart at the end = 10 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$h = \frac{(10\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\$

You want to slide a 0.39 kg book across a table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .21, what force is required to move t

uranmaximum [27]

Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together. This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for. We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

$F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2} =0.0702N$

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

$F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N$

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.

Ivenika [448]

Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond.

Hope this helps! :)

How should the student change the circuit to give negative values for current and

natulia [17]

Answer:

changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current

Explanation:

The sign of current and voltage are due to established conventions.

The way that a DC circuit with negative current values is by changing the polarity of the power source or by inverting the battery, this creates that the electrons move in the opposite direction

Changing the battery also changes the direction of the power difference, since the potential from positive to negative, in most cases negative is assigned a potential of zero volts

In summary, changing the polarity or direction of the battery changes the sign of the voltage and the current
