Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

Umar has two copper pans, each containing 500cm3 of water. Pan A has a mass of 750g and pan B has a mass of 1.5kg. Which pan wil
Olin [163]

Answer:

heat required in pan B is more than pan A

Explanation:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the substance is given by the formula

Q = ms\Delta T

now we know that both pan contains same volume of water while the mass of pan is different

So here heat required to raise the temperature of water in Pan A is given as

Q_1 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_1 = (0.5(4186) + 0.750(s))\Delta T

Now similarly for other pan we have

Q_2 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T

Q_2 = (0.5(4186) + 1.50(s))\Delta T

So here by comparing the two equations we can say that heat required in pan B is more than pan A

sergejj [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

sum of Mc = 0 = -Ay(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + (275)(2.1 + 3cos(59)) + M 
<span>- Ay = (M + (275*(2.1 + 3cos(59)))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>sum of Ma = 0 = (-275)(2.1) - Cy(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + M </span>
<span>- Cy = (M - (275*2.1))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>Ay + Cy = 275 = ((M+1002.41)+(M-577.5))/(5.745) </span>
<span>= (2M + 424.91)/(5.745) </span>

<span>M = ((275*5.745) - 424.91)/2 </span>
<span>= 577.483 which rounds off to 577 </span>

<span>Is it maybe supposed to be Ay - Cy = 275</span>

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Data provided;

Capacitance of the original capacitor, C = 1.27 F

Potential difference applied to the original capacitor, V = 59.9 kV

= 59.9 × 10³ V

Now,

The Potential energy (U) for the capacitor is calculated as:

Potential energy of the original capacitor, U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × C × V²

on substituting the respective values, we get

U = \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{2}}  × 1.27 × ( 59.9 × 10³ )²

or

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired
