Answer:

The answer is:

xf = 4.17m

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

First we have to calculate the acceleration, then calculate the distance the box reaches.

The force is:

F = m * a

Frictional force (ff)

ff = μ * Fn

Fn = Fw

Fw = mg

Then we match

ff = μ * m * g

ff = m * a

So:

μmg = ma

μg = a

(0.15) (9.81 m / s²) = a

a = 1.47 m / s²

Then we know that the formula is:

vf2 = vi2 + 2a (xf-xi)

0 = (3.5m / s) 2 + 2 * 1.47 m / s² * (xf-0)

xf = - (3.5m / s) 2 / (- 2 * 1.47 m / s²)

The answer is:

xf = 4.17m

Is the speed of the object is zero when it's at rest ?
NARA [144]
Yes! Although the object has potential energy, the object is not moving and therefore has no speed. :)

is potential energy and kinetic energy real or is it theoretical and is used to explain how thing work? if it is real than where
miss Akunina [59]

Answer: Potential energy is real and is stored within matter, though a force must be applied to an object in order for it to store potential energy.

Mercury has an average disease to the sun of 0.39 AU. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the orbital pe
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: 88 Earth days

Explanation:

According to the Kepler Third  Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>

<em />

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit:

T^{2}=a^{3} (1)

If we assume the orbit is circular and apply Newton's law of motion and the Universal Law of Gravity we have:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3} (2)

Where M is the mass of the massive object and G is the universal gravitation constant. If we assume M constant and larger enough to consider G  really small, we can write a general form of this law:

MT^{2}=a^{3} (3)

Where T is in units of Earth years,  a is in AU (<u>1 Astronomical Unit is the average distane between the Earth and the Sun)</u> and  M is the mass of the central object  in units of the mass of the Sun.

This means when we are making calculations with planets in our solar system  M=1.

Hnece, in the case of Mercury:

(1)T^{2}=(0.39 AU)^{3} (4)

Isolating T:

T=\sqrt{(0.39 AU)^{3}} (5)

T=0.243 Earth-years \frac{365 days}{1 Earth-year}=88.6 days \approx 88 days (6)

This means the period of Mercury is 88 days.

If the potential across two parallel plates, separated by 3 cm, is 12 volts, what is the electric field strength in volts per me
Mrrafil [7]
There are 100cm in 1m, divide 100 by 3 and you get 33, multiply that by 12 and you get  396 volts/m.

Hope this is correct and helps.

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal  BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.
