Answer:

The meter, symbol m, is the SI unit of length. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m s-1, where the second is defined in terms of ΔνCs. The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass.

Explanation:

The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1299 792 458 of a second. The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km.

find the coefficient of kinetic friction for a 10 kg box being dragged steadily across the surface with a force of 2.0 Newtons

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

Force, $F=\mu_k N$ where N is normal reaction and coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_k$ . Also, N is equivalent to mg ie N=mg where m is mass of an object and g is acceleration due to gravity. Making $\mu$ the subject of the formula then

$\mu_k=\frac {F}{mg}$

Substituting F with 2 N, m with 10 kg and g with 9.81 then

$\mu_k=\frac {2}{10\times 9.81}=0.0203873598369\approx 0.02$

Please help. It’s probably easy

iragen [17]

I believe it’s 60km/h

I divided the total distance (120 km) by the time it took to get there (2h) to get this.

A free falling object has the velocity time graph shown. What is the objects displacement between 0.0 and 6.0s

zloy xaker [14]

For free fall motion the displacement can be found by graphically as well as by kinematics equation

Here acceleration of object is constant as it fall due to gravity so we can use

$d = v_i * t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

here if body starts with zero initial speed then we can say

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

here we need to find the displacement from t = 0 to t = 6s

so we can say

$d = \frac{1}{2}*9.8*6^2$

$d = 176.4 m$

so the displacement will be 176.4 m

in order to find the displacement from the graph of velocity and time we need to find the area under the graph for given time interval that will also give us same displacement for given period of time.
