Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

A 49 N block has a mass of 5 kg:

49/9.8

A horizontal force of 50 N giving it an acceleration of 6 m/s^2 means that 30 N is taken up by the acceleration

This leaves 20 N to take care for friction. so the coefficient of friction is:

20/49 = 0.41.

The mass of a glass beaker is known to be 24.2 g. Approximately 5 mL of water are added, and the mass of the beaker and water is
Kamila [148]

Answer: 2 significant figures in 6.4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

Mass of beaker = 24.2 g

Mass of beaker + mass of water = 30.625 g

Mass of water = 30.625 - Mass of beaker = 30.625 - 24.2 = 6.4g

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The answer would contain same number of decimal places as there are in the least precise number present.

Thus there are 2 significant figures in mass of water which is 6.4 grams.

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of
EleoNora [17]
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE  = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
 
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
     FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
     TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
     TRUE

D) All of the above.
     FALSE

A 21 kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 175 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Once the chair is i
Alika [10]

Answer:\mu =0.85

Explanation:

Given

mass of chair m=21 kg

Force required to set chair in motion is 175 N

Once the chair is in motion 137 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 175 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 137 is the kinetic friction force

thus

f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

N=mg

f_s=\mu mg

\mu mg=175

\mu =\frac{175}{21\times 9.8}

\mu =0.85

When submerged in water, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it ___upward ___downward. This additional force i
Neko [114]

Answer:

Therefore, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it upward.

Explanation:

When a brick is submerged in the water, it has two forces acting upon it. One force is the gravitational force or the weight of the brick, that acts downward. The weight force also acts on the brick when it is not in water. But, in water an additional force acts on the brick. This additional force is named as Buoyant Force. This force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the brick. And this Buoyant Force acts on the brick in the upward direction. The formula for this force is given as follows:

Buoyant Force = (Density of Water)(Volume of Water Displaced)(g)

<u>Therefore, the brick appears to have an additional force pushing it upward.</u>
