he toy is 8.0 N, what is the coefficient of sliding friction between the toy and the floor?
a. 0.25
b. 1.0
c. 4.0
d. 0.40

Since toy is moving at constant speed that means that force that child is applying on toy is equal to force of friction.

Rate of speed that toy is moving is irelevant.

childs force is:
Fc = 2N
Fc = Ff (Ff -friction force)

Ff = a*Q

where Q is weight of the toy and a is friction

if we express a we get
a = F/Q = 2/8 = 0.25

Answer:

a. 0.25

Explanation:

The toy is moving across the floor at constant velocity - this means that its acceleration is zero.

According to Newton's second law, this means that the net force acting on the toy is zero:

$F_{net}=ma=0$ (1)

because a=0.

The net force, in this case, consists of two forces acting in opposite directions:

- The applied force, F = 2.0 N

- The frictional force, $F_f = -\mu (mg)$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of sliding friction and (mg)=8.0 N is the weight of the toy.

Therefore, the equation of the forces (1) becomes:

$F+F_f = 0\\F-\mu (mg)=0\\\mu = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{2.0 N}{8.0 N}=0.25$

Process in which permanent deformation of metals occurs due to applied stress and results in breaking of bonds and then reformin

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

This process involves the motion of dislocations and is termed slip (or glide in some textbooks)

Explanation:

Plastic deformation of metals (and other crystalline materials) usually occurs by slip, which is the sliding of planes of atoms over one another by dislocation movements.

On a microscopic scale, stress causes planes of crystalline objects to leave their original position and slide over other planes into new positions, these microscopic movements manifest as a slip on a macroscopic scale. And the planes do not return back to their original position after the removal of the dislocation-causing stress.

A punted football is observed to have velocity components vhorizontal = 15 m/s to the right and vvertical = 1.25 m/s directed do

enot [183]

Answer:

v₀ₓ = 15 m / s, $v_{oy}$ = 5.2 m / s

v = 15.87 m / s , θ = 19.1

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch problem. The horizontal speed that is constant throughout the entire path is worth 15 m / s, instead the vertical speed changes in value due to the acceleration of gravity, let's look for the initial vertical speed

Vy² = $v_{oy}$ ² - 2 g y

$v_{oy}$ ² = $v_{y}$ ² + 2 g y

$v_{oy}$ = √ ( $v_{y}$ ² + 2 gy

Let's calculate

$v_{oy}$ = √ (1.25² + 2 9.8 1.3)

$v_{oy}$ = √ (27.04)

$v_{oy}$ = 5.2 m / s

The initial speed can be calculated by the initial speed

v = √ v₀ₓ² + $v_{oy}$ ²

v = RA (15² + 5.2²)

v = 15.87 m / s

We look for the angle with trigonometry

tan θ = voy / vox

θ = tan⁻¹ I'm going / vox

θ = tan⁻¹ 5.2 / 15

θ = 19.1

The answer is

v₀ₓ = 15 m / s

$v_{oy}$ = 5.2 m / s

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of solid core wire=r=2.28 mm= $2.28\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of each strand of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm= $0.456\times 10^{-3} m$

Current density of each wire= $J=3750 A/m^2$

a.Area = $\pi r^2$

Where $\pi=3.14$

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core = $3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2$

Current density = $J=\frac{I}{A}$

Using the formula

$3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}$

$I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A$

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire= $A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2$

$J'=\frac{I'}{A'}$

$3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2$

$I'=0.047 A$

b.Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m$

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R= $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire= $R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

Resistance of strand wire= $R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega$

The air in a 6.00 L tank has a pressure of 2.00 atm. What is the final pressure, in atmospheres, when the air is placed in tanks

ser-zykov [4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of tank, V = 6 L

Initial pressure, P = 2 atm

We need to find the final pressure when the air is placed in tanks that have the following volumes if there is no change in temperature and amount of gas:

(a) V' = 1 L

It is a case of Boyle's law. It says that volume is inversely proportional to the pressure at constant temperature. So,

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{1}\\\\P'=12\ atm$

(b) V' = 2500 mL

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{2500\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=4.8\ atm$

(c) V' = 750 mL

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{750\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=16\ atm$

(d) V' = 8 L

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{8}\\\\P'=1.5\ atm$

Hence, this is the required solution.
