A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

looks like this group varied the amount of mass sitting on the block with each trial - this is not recommended). Nonetheless, what is their average coefficient of static friction?
Trial Mass of block (g) Hanging mass (kg)
1 105 0.053
2 165 0.081
3 220 0.118
4 280 0.149
5 315 0.180
6 385 0.198

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

= 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = $\frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}$

= $\frac{0.779}{6}$

= 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 38.9 cm. The alloy used to make the cube has

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of edge = 38.9 cm

Density $\rho= 7.15 \times10^{3}\ kg/m^3$

We need to calculate the volume of cube

Using formula of volume

$V = 38.9^3$

$V=0.058863\ m^3$

We need to calculate the mass of the cube

Using formula of density

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

$m = V\times\rho$

$m =0.058863\times7.15 \times10^{3}$

$m=420.8\ kg$

Hence, The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.

inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

E = $\frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}$

= $\frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

= $1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C$

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

ma = qE

a = $\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}$

= $1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

According to the third equation of motion,

$v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d$

or, d = $\frac{v^{2}}{2d}$

= $\frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}$

= 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

A hot air balloon must be designed to support a basket, cords, and one person for a total payload weight of 1300 N plus the addi

RSB [31]

Answer:

r = 4.44 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the dislodged fluid

B = ρ g V

Now let's use Newton's equilibrium relationship

B - W = 0

B = W

The weight of the system is the weight of the man and his accessories (W₁) plus the material weight of the ball (W)

σ = W / A

W = σ A

The area of a sphere is

A = 4π r²

W = W₁ + σ 4π r²

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

ρ g 4/3 π r³ = W₁ + σ 4π r²

If we use the ideal gas equation

P V = n RT

P = ρ RT

ρ = P / RT

P / RT g 4/3 π r³ - σ 4 π r² = W₁

r² 4π (P/3RT r - σ) = W₁

Let's replace the values

r² 4π (1.01 10⁵ / (3 8.314 (70 + 273)) r - 0.060) = 13000

r² (11.81 r -0.060) = 13000 / 4pi

r² (11.81 r - 0.060) = 1034.51

As the independent term is very small we can despise it, to find the solution

r = 4.44 m

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is $10^{6}$ Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = $10^{18}$ kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to $10^{6}$ cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to 1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = $10^{18}$ kg/m³

density = $10^{18}$ kg/m³ × $\frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }$ Mg/µL

density = $10^{6}$ Mg/µL
