What is the unit of mu (m) in the equation of Ffriction=miu F formal explan​

Physics
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
8 0

Both F's are forces, so µ must be unitless/dimensionless.

F[friction] = µ F[normal]

Or, more explicitly in terms of the units:

(Newtons) = (constant) (Newtons)

<h2><em><u>⇒</u></em>Answer:</h2>

In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g . How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution 35PE

This question discusses about the increased range. So, we shall assume that the angle of jumping will be  as the horizontal range is maximum at this angle.

Step 1 of 3<

/p>

The legs have an extension of 0.600 m in the crouch position.

So,  m

The person is at rest initially, so the initial velocity will be zero.

The acceleration is  m/s2

Acceleration  m/s2

Let the final velocity be .

Step 2 of 3<

/p>

Substitute the above given values in the kinematic equation  ,

m/s

Therefore, the final velocity or jumping speed is  m/s

Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)
Elden [556K]

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly, initially at a volume of 0.1 m3 , undergoes a constant-pressure expansion at
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Work: 4.0 kJ, heat: 4.25 kJ

Explanation:

For a gas transformation at constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

W=p(V_f -V_i)

where in this case we have:

p = 2 bar = 2\cdot 10^5 Pa is the pressure

V_i = 0.1 m^3 is the initial volume

V_f = 0.12 m^3 is the final volume

Substituting,

W=(2\cdot 10^5)(0.12-0.10)=4000 J = 4.0 kJ

The 1st law of thermodynamics also states that

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed by the gas

Here we know that

\Delta U = +0.25 kJ

Therefore we can re-arrange the equation to find the heat absorbed by the gas:

Q=\Delta U + W = 0.25 kJ + 4.0 kJ = 4.25 kJ

A cable is 100-m long and has a cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm2. A 1000-N force is applied to stretch the cable. Young's modulus
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1 m

Explanation:

L = 100 m

A = 1 mm^2 = 1 x 10^-6 m^2

Y = 1 x 10^11 N/m^2

F = 1000 N

Let the cable stretch be ΔL.

By the formula of Young's modulus

Y=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Delta L}

\Delta L=\frac{F\times L}{A\times\Y}

\Delta L=\frac{1000\times 100}{10^{-6}\times10^{11}}

ΔL = 1 m

Thus, the cable stretches by 1 m.
