Answer:

μ = .4842

Explanation:

Assuming constant acceleration and the object is sliding on a level surface:

Let's start off by finding the acceleration of the object.

  • v₀ = 19 m/s
  • v = 0 m/s
  • Δx = 38 m
  • a = ?

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

  • 0² = 19² + 2a(38)
  • 0 = 361 + 76a
  • -361 = 76a
  • a = -4.75 m/s²

Now, we can make a free-body diagram and see that the only force opposing the object's motion is the friction force -- this is the only force in the x-direction.

We can use Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma to solve for the coefficient of friction.

F = ma

  • F = friction force = μ * N = μ * mg

Now, we have:

  • μ * mg = ma

The mass cancels out and solving for the coefficient of friction gives us:

  • μ * g = a
  • μ = a/g

We know the acceleration is -4.75 m/s² and g = -9.81 m/s²:

  • μ = -4.75/-9.81
  • μ = .4842

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces, assuming constant acceleration and a flat surface, is 0.4842.

if the amplitude of sine curve is 4 and the frequency is 1 with no phase shift, what is the function that descirbes this curve?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

y = 4 Sin (2πt)

Explanation:

Amplitude, A = 4

frequency, f = 1

Wave function is given by

y = A sinωt

where, ω is angular frequency

ω = 2 π f = 2 π x 1 = 2π

So, the desired wave function

y = 4 Sin (2πt)

Answer the following question about "The Deadliest Tsunami in History."
Anna007 [38]

The correct answer is - a. was a sign of danger.

Once the people saw that the ocean waters are receding and were living vast space without water behind them, they knew that something big and very dangerous will happen. And in fact it did. The water that was sucked in in the place were there was a crack on the ocean floor, got shot back under big pressure and it had very big speed, as well as having waves that were destroying anything on their way.
