Weight Force of Junior = m g = 115kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 1128.15N then compute for the friction force

Friction Force= WF x (coefficient of kinetic friction) = 1128.15N x 0.35 = 394.8525N or 395N

But you can compute in a straightway:

Solution:

= 115 x 9.81 x 0.35

= 394.85

= 395 N

It will still give the same results.

ehidna [41]

Answer

The Value of r = 0.127

Explanation:

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in series is

$R_T = R_1 +R_2$

And from Ohm law

$I_s =\frac{ V}{R_T}$

$I_s = \frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2} ---(1)$

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in parallel is

$R_T = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

$= \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 +R_2}$

From the question $I_p =10I_s$

=> $I_p =10I_s = \frac{V_0 }{\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 +R_2} } = \frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}---(2)$

Dividing equation 2 with equation 1

=> $\frac{10I_s}{I_s} =\frac{\frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}}{\frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2}}$

$10 = \frac{(R_1+R_2)^2}{R_1 R_2}----(3)$

We are told that $r = \frac{R_1}{R_2} \ \ \ \ \ = > R_1 = rR_2$

From equation 3

$10 = \frac{(1-r)^2}{r}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 1+r^2 + 2r = 10r$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r^2 -8r+1 = 0$

Using the quadratic formula

$r =\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} }{2a}$

a = 1 b = -8 c =1

$= \frac{8 \pm\sqrt{((-8)^2- (4*1*1))} }{2*1}$

$r= \frac{8+ \sqrt{60} }{2} \ or \ r = \frac{8 - \sqrt{60} }{2}$

$r = \ 7.87\ or \ r \ = \ 0.127$

Now r = 0.127 because it is the least value among the obtained values

Lerok [7]

Answer:

0.0000045 s

Explanation:

f = Frequency = 8 MHz

Clock cycle is given by

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{8\times 10^6}=1.25\times 10^{-7}\ s$

Time taken for 12 clock cycles

$12\times 1.25\times 10^{-7}=0.0000015\ s$

Time taken per instruction is 0.0000015 s

In reading and displaying information it requires 3 processes

1 for reading, 1 for searching and 1 for displaying.

$3\times 0.0000015=0.0000045\ s$

Time taken is 0.0000045 s
