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.

Which is the one factor that adds to the greenhouse effect? 1. a decrease in the amount of dust in the atmosphere 2. a decrease
lukranit [14]

Answer:

an increase in gasses that absorb heat

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect refers to the gradual increase in the earth's temperature due to an increase in the concentration of certain gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases and they include; water vapour, nitrogen 1 oxide, carbon IV oxide etc. Green house effect is said to occur when heat radiating outwards from the earth surface towards space is trapped close to the earth's surface due to the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse effect leads to increase in the temperature of the earth, melting of polar ice caps and possibly flooding due to a rise in sea levels.

Greenhouse gases act as glass in a greenhouse. They allow heat to pass through onto the earth surface but trap the heat and prevent it from being radiated outwards back to space. Thereby increasing the surface temperature of the earth.
