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.

Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of R = 1.22 m and a mass of 67.0 kg . To
eduard

Answer: 71.7 KJ

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body can be written as follows:

Krot = ½ I ω2

Now, any point on the rim of the flywheel, is acted by a centripetal force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, as follows:

Fc = m. ac

It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration, is related with the angular velocity and the radius, as follows:

ac =  ω2 r

We know that this acceleration has a limit value, so , we can take this limit to obtain a maximum value for the angular velocity also.

As the flywheel is a solid disk, the rotational inertia I is just ½ m r2.

Replacing in the expression for the Krot, we have:

Krot= ½ (1/2 mr2.ac/r) = ¼ mr ac = ¼ 67.0 Kg. 1.22 m . 3,510 m/s2 = 71. 7 KJ

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line
aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon
