Answer:

Explanation:

Friction is defined as a force which acts at the surface of separation between two objects in contact and tends to oppose motion of one over the other.

While kinetic friction is the force that must be overcome so that a body can move with uniform speed over another.

Hence let consider one of the laws of friction which states that: '' Frictional force is independent of the area of the surfaces in contact.''

The value did not vary with area. This is because when calculating the kinetic fiction, the total contact area is not relevant and only the total weight of the system as well of as the block is put into consideration.

Answer:

$6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$

Explanation:

Mass of the ship (m) = 6.9 × 10⁷ kg

Speed of the ship (v) = 33 km/h

First, let us convert the speed from km/h to m/s using the conversion factor.

We know that, 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

So, 33 km/h = $33\times \frac{5}{18}=9.17\ m/s$

Now, we know, the momentum of an object only depends on its mass and speed. Momentum is independent of the length of the object.

So, here, length of the ship doesn't play any role in the determination of the momentum.

Magnitude of momentum of the ship = Mass × Speed

= $(6.9\times 10^7\ kg)(9.17\ m/s)$

= $6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$

Therefore, the magnitude of ship's momentum is $6.33\times 10^8\ kg\cdot m/s$ .

The primary of a step-up transformer is connected across the terminals of a standard wall socket, and resistor 1 with a resistan

alexira [117]

The turns ratio is the factor that determines voltage andcurrent. In order to have the same current across the resistorin the primary as the resistor in the secondary, then:--N(p) = Primary turnsN(s) = Secondary turnsR(2) = Primary resistorR(1) = Secondary resistor--R(2)/R(1) = N(p)/N(s)R(2) = R(1)*(N(p)/N(s))--If arbitrary values are plugged in, you will see that this step up transformer will require 2x the resistance required in the secondary, R(1), to obtain the same current. Thus R(2) will be 1/2 the value of R(1). This is due to the stepped up voltage in the secondary.

Answer:

Wave W is a sound wave, Waves X and Y are light waves, and it is impossible to tell what kind of wave Wave Z is.

Explanation:

W travels fastest through metal

X travels fastest through air,

Y travels more slowly through water than air

Z travels more slowly at cool temperatures

W appears to be sound wave as sound travels fastest through metal .
