Answer:
Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.
Explanation:
Using the velocity formula;
v^2 = 2as
a = v^2/(2s)
a = 1.6^2/(2*0.9)
a = 2.56/1.8
a = 1.42 m/s^2
the force necessary to give the book the acceleration is
F = ma = 3.5*1.42 (m is mass of the book i.e. 3.5 kg)
F = 4.98 N
The difference in the force is the friction force, which is
Ff = 25 - 4.98 = 20 N
Ff = mgμ
where μ is coefficient of friction and g is acceleration due to gravity that is 9.8 m/s^2
μ = Ff/mg
μ = 20/(3.5*9.81)
μ = 0.582
Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.
Answer:
a. Light pollution refers to light used for human activities that brightens the sky and hinders astronomical observations.
Explanation:
Light pollution is due to the excessive and misdirected use of artificial light. Light bulbs are often design in an incorrect way, since a great part of its light is not completely directed to the ground and an important percentage is emitted to the sky in where will be scattered and reflected back to ground by the particles in the atmosphere. That brings as an effect a sky glow, therefore the visibility of astronomical objects will be extremely reduce.
Hence, professional astronomical research and amateur observations will be affected. Light pollution has a negative impact on bird migration at night and in the health of difference species, humans also.
Groups are vertical columns in the Periodic Table and they contain elements with similar properties. One characteristic is that each member of a group has the same number of electrons in the outer level. This holds true for groups 1-7. Because each element has the same number of electrons in the outer shell, they tend to have similar properties(second characteristic).
