If you pull a resistant puppy with its leash in a horizontal direction, it takes 80 N to get it going. You can then keep it movi

ng at constant speed across the floor with a constant, horizontal force of 70 N. The puppy has a weight of 110 N. What is the coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Explanation:

The horizontal force applied to move the puppy from a steady state has to be greater than the force of static friction, after it is moving the force needs to be equal to be greater than the force of dynamic friction in order to maintain its movement. The force of static friction is given by:

F_s = \mu_s*N

Where F_s is the static friction force, \mu_s is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. Since there's no angle on the flor the normal force is equal to the weight of the puppy, therefore, N = 110\text{ N}, to make the puppy moving we need to use a force of 80 N, therefore, F_s = 80 \text{ N}, so we can solve for the coefficient as shown below:

80 = \mu_s*110\\\mu_s = \frac{80}{110} = 0.7273\\

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

An underground tunnel has two openings, with one opening a few meters higher than the other. If air moves past the higher openin
klasskru [66]

Answer:

There would be a pressure drop in the direction of the higher opening. This will force air to move in from the lower opening and force it to leave through the higher opening. This will create a convectional movement of air, cooling and ventilating the tunnel.

Explanation:

This is in accordance with bernoulli's law of fluid flow which states that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is lesser than it would exert if it were at rest.

A shot-putter exerts a force of 0.142 kN on a shot, accelerating it to 22.75 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?
Svetach [21]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.

Since, according to the Newton's law,

Force = mass * Acceleration.

hence, here

Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2

hence, mass = 142/22.75

===> Mass = 6.24 Kg

hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

E1=10^6\ J

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

u=6.8\times 10^6\ J

we know from the defination of efficiency that,  η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}

0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}

E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Now suppose the initial velocity of the train is 4 m/s and the hill is 4 meters tall. If the train has a mass of 30000 kg, what
hoa [83]

Answer:

<h2>187,500N/m</h2>

Explanation:

From the question, the kinectic energy of the train will be equal to the energy stored in the spring.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² and energy stored in a spring E = 1/2 ke².

Equating both we will have;

1/2 mv² = 1/2ke²

mv² = ke²

m is the mass of the train

v is the velocity of then train

k is the spring constant

e is the extension caused by the spring.

Given m = 30000kg, v = 4 m/s, e = 4 - 2.4 = 1.6m

Substituting this values into the formula will give;

30000*4² =  k*1.6²

k = \frac{30,000*16}{1.6^2}\\ \\k = \frac{480,000}{2.56}\\ \\k = 187,500Nm^{-1}

The value of the spring constant is 187,500N/m

By standard convention, both the electric potential and the the electric potential energy between two charges is taken to be zer
shusha [124]

Answer: at when distance r = infinity.

Explanation: The formulae for the electric potential of an electric charge to an arbitrary point is given by the formulae below

V = q/4πεr

V = electric potential (volts)

q = magnitude of electric charge

ε = permittivity of free space

r = distance between arbitrary point and charge.

In the equation above, it can be seen that only electric potential (v) and distance (r) is a variable, and there is an inverse relationship between them (an increase in one leads to a decrease in the other)

Thus to have zero value of electric potential (v= 0) we have to have the largest value of r ( r = infinity).

Same goes for electric potential energy between two charges, the formulae is given below as

W = q1 *q2/4πεr

W= electric potential energy

q1 = magnitude of first charge.

q2 = magnitude of second charge

ε = permittivity of free space

r = distance between arbitrary point and charge.

Also, all values are constant aside from electric potential energy (w) and distance (r) which have an inverse relationship.

Thus to have zero value of electric potential energy (w =0), we have to get an infinite value of distance ( r =infinity)
