Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death valley, California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, a

s if they had been migrating. For years curiosity mounted about why the stones moved. One explanation was that strong winds during the occasional rainstorms would drag the rough stones over ground softened by rain. When the desert dried out, the trails behind the stones were hard-baked in place. According to measurements, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the stones and the wet playa ground is about 0.80. What horizontal force is needed on a 25 kg stone (a typical mass) to maintain the stone's motion once a gust has started it moving

Answer:

   F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law,  we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis  

       N- W = 0

       N = mg

X axis

       F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

       F- fr = 0

       F = fr

the friction force has the equation

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ mg

we substitute

        F = μ mg

let's calculate

         F = 0.80 9.8 25

         F = 196 N

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?
sammy [17]

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \  on \ one \  electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the moment of inertia Ihoop of a hoop of radius r and mass m with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing
Juliette [100K]

Answer: MR²

is the the moment of inertia  of a hoop of radius R and mass M with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing through its center

Explanation:

Since in the hoop , all mass elements  are situated at the same distance from the centre , the following expression for the moment of inertia can be written as follows.

I = ∫ r² dm

= R²∫ dm

MR²

where M is total mass and R is radius of the hoop .
