Hi there!

For an object to have a constant velocity, the SUM of the forces must equal 0. This means that the forces are balanced.

When a car is accelerating downhill, it is experiencing a force due to gravity of F = MgsinФ.

In order to balance the forces, there must be an equal and OPPOSITE force acting on the object. This would be a force of kinetic friction.

Thus:

∑F = -F (Kinetic Friction) + MgsinФ

0 = -F (Kinetic Friction) + MgsinФ

MgsinФ = F (Kinetic Friction)

Thus, the force of Kinetic Friction = -3674 N

(Negative indicates in the opposite direction)

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.

Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?
denpristay [2]

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>
  • Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
  • A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
  • The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
  • As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

A snail at position 3 cm moves to position 20 cm in 8 seconds.
natulia [17]

Answer: 17cm.

Explanation:

The equation you're using is:

Δd = df - di

Which means the change in position is equal to the final position minus the starting position. In this case that works out to 20cm - 3cm = 17cm. We're only interested in how much the snail moved, not how long it took to move, so even though they give a time it actually doesn't matter for this question.

A coating is being applied to reduce the reflectivity of a pane of glass to light with a wavelength of 522 nm incident near the
fredd [130]

Answer:

  t = 94.91 nm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light = 522 nm

refractive index of the material  = 1.375

we know the equation

       c = ν λ

where ν is the frequency of the wave

           c is the speed of light

   \nu= \dfrac{c}{\nu\lambda}

   \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{522 \times 10^{-9}}

       ν = 5.75 x 10¹⁴ Hz

the thickness of the coating will be calculated using

        t = \dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu_{material}}

        t = \dfrac{522 \times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.375}

              t = 94.91 nm

the thickness of the coating will be equal to t = 94.91 nm
