Where on a roller coaster is centripetal forces at work.

Regardless of where the cars are in the loop, centripetal force is always directed toward the center of rotation. So even if a car you're riding in is at the top of a loop, upside-down, you will feel pressed into your seat.

A 53-N force is needed to keep a 50.0-kg box sliding across a flat surface at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of ki
earnstyle [38]

The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero. 

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in <em><u>that</u></em> direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the <u><em>other</em></u> direction.

 The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

                                                  53N  =  (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by  490N :  Coefficient = (53N) / (490N)  =  0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's    <em>0.11 </em>.      (choice 'd')

A 6 cm object is 15 cm from a convex lens that has a focal length of 5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the lens, to t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

7.50 cm

Explanation:

The formula

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

Is used.

where.

u is the object distance.

v is the image distance.

f is the focal length of the lens.

1/v + 1/15 = 1/5

1/v = 1/5 - 1/15

1/v = (3-1)/15

1/v = 2/15

2v = 15

V = 15/2

V = 7.5 cm

For focal length, f in lens is always taken as negative for concave and positive for convex. ... And for image distance, V in lens it is taken as positive in Convex lens since image is formed on +X side. It is taken as negative in Concave lens since image is formed in -X side of the Cartesian.

Given a wire with a cross section of .45cm^2, a length of 3cm, and an internal resistance of 3 ohms, show your 5 steps to solve
Gre4nikov [31]
Resistance ∞ (proportional) length 
resistance ∞ 1/ area

therefore, 
(the constant that we take is known as the resistivity)

resistance =  (resistivity*length )/ area
 resistivity = (resistance * area ) / length
                  = (3 * 45) / 3 =    135/3 = 45 Ωm

in short your answer is 45 Ωm
