Answer:

0.255

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 57 N

Mass (m) = 22.8 Kg

Coefficient of static friction (µ) =...?

Next, we shall determine the normal reaction (R). This is illustrated below:

Mass (m) = 22.8 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Normal reaction (R) =?

R = mg

R = 22.8 x 9.8

R = 223.44 N

Finally, we can obtain the coefficient of static friction (µ) as follow:

Force (F) = 57 N

Normal reaction (R) = 223.44 N

Coefficient of static friction (µ) =...?

F = µR

57 = µ x 223.44

Divide both side by 223.44

µ = 57/223.44

µ = 0.255

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction (µ) is 0.255.

Does the surrounding air become warm or cool when vapour phase of H2O condenses? Explain
mel-nik [20]
The surrounding air will become warm when water vapor condenses. The vapors when become water will give away latent heat they have, we know that latent heat is required for the object to change states, so, the latent heat the water vapor had when it became water vapor from water will be given out when it again becomes water.

How are chargeable cells different from ordinary dry cells​
topjm [15]
Ordinary cells can convert chemical energy to electrical energy only, but rechargeable cells can also store electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. You will study more about it in your higher classes. secondary cells can be recharged and used again but dry cells cannot be recharged.

A physics student with too much free time drops a watermelon from a roof of a building, hears the sound of the watermelon going
tatiyna

Answer:

28.6260196842 m

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

t = Time taken by the watermelon to fall to the ground

Time taken to hear the sound is 2.5 seconds

Time taken by the sound to travel the height of the cliff = 2.5-t

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

For the watermelon falling

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2

For the sound

Distance = Speed × Time

\text{Distance}=340\times (2.5-t)

Here, distance traveled by the stone and sound is equal

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{340}{4.905}(2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2+69.3170234455t-173.292558614=0

t=\frac{-69.31702\dots +\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1},\:t=\frac{-69.31702\dots -\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow t=2.4158\ s\ or\ -71\ seconds

The time taken to fall down is 2.4158 seconds

h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 2.4158^2=28.6260196842\ m

Height of the buidling is 28.6260196842 m

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s
