Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

A 3.90 kg block is in equilibrium on an incline of 31.0◦. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . What is Fn of the incline o

storchak [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The sum of the pore along the plane is expressed according to Newton's law

Fn-Ff = ma

Fn is the moving force

Ff = nR = frictional force

m is the Mass

a is the acceleration

Substitute the given values

Fn - nR = ma

Fn - tan31°(mgcostheta) =3.9(9.8)

Fn - tan31(3.9(9.8)cos31) = 3.9(9.8)

Fn - tan31(38.22cos31)= 38.22

Fn - 32.76tan31 = 38.22

Fn-19.68 = 38.22

Fn = 38.22+19.68.

Fn = 57.90N

Hence Fn (moving force) of the inclined block is 57.90

If two swimmers compete in a race, does the faster swimmer develop more power?

valkas [14]

Power is equal to energy per unit time. In this case, power is proportional to energy while is inversely proportional to time,on the other hand. Given the two swimmers exerts same amount of energy but the faster swimmer just does things in faster time, then the faster swimmer should develop more power from shorter time

If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be 4E. 2E. 12E. 14E.

ANEK [815]

The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

looking at the formula

energy $E = MC^2$

also, $c = \lambda \times \nu$

hence it is clear from above that energy is directly proportional to the square of the wavelength.

hence, The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.
It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the wavelength. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to represent wavelength.
The term wavelength is occasionally used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.
