Walter Arfeuille of Belgium lifted a 281.5 kg load off the ground using his teeth. Suppose Arfeuille can hold just three times t

hat mass on a 30.0° slope using the same force. What is the coefficient of static friction between the load and the slope?

Gravitational, g = 9.81 m/s2 
Theta = 30 degrees, using the same force. 
Let u be the coefficient of static friction 
Force applied F = mg 
Static Friction Force = u3mgcos (theta) 
The gravitational Force = 3mgsin (theta) 
So the force equation = 3mgsin (theta) - (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) = 0 
So 3mgsin (theta) = (u3mgcos (theta) + mg) => 3sin (theta) = (u3cos (theta) + 1)
 => u = (3sin (30) - 1) / 3cos (30) => u = (3(1/2) - 1) / (3 x 0.866)
 => u = (1.5 - 1) / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.59 = 0.5 / 2.598
 Coefficient of Static Friction u = 0.19.

Let's call
 m = 281.5Kg
 The force that Walter can make is by definition:
 F = m * g
 where,
 g: acceleration of gravity.
 Suppose Walter is at the top of the slope:
 By making a free-body diagram we have the following forces in the direction of the slope:
 Friction force = (μ3mgcosø)
 Force of gravity = (3mgsinø),
 Force exerted by Walter = mg
 We have then:
 mg + μ3mgcosø-3mgsinø = 0.
 Clearing the friction coefficient:
 μ = (3sinø-1) / (3cosø).
 Substituting the angle:
 μ = 0.19.
 answer
 the coefficient of static friction between the load and the slope is 0.19

Sea level is currently rising at 3.2 mm/yr, and scientists predict that global warming could cause a rise in sea level of 7 m if
Dovator [93]

Answer:

2188 years

Explanation:

given,                                              

see level rising at the rate = 3.2 mm/yr

height of the sea level to rise = 7 m        

time it will take rise 7 m = ?              

we know,                                      

           1 m = 1000 mm                          

           1 mm = 0.001 m                          

rate of increase of rate = 0.0032 m/year                  

time taken to rise = \dfrac{7}{0.0032}\ years

                             = 2187.5 years                                    

Now, time taken by the sea level to rise 7 m is equal to 2188 years.

The speed of sound in air is 320 ms-1 and in water it is 1600 ms-1. It takes 2.5 s for sound to reach a certain distance from th
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air = 320 m/s

Speed of sound in water = 1600 m/s

Time taken to reach certain distance in air = 2.5 sec

a.

We have to find the distance traveled by sound in air.

Distance = Product of speed and time.

⇒ Distance = Speed\times time\ taken

⇒ Distance = 320\times 2.5

⇒ Distance = 800 meters.

b.

Now we have to find how much time the sound will take to travel in water.

⇒ Time = Ratio of distance and speed

⇒ Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ Time =\frac{800}{1600}   <em>   ...distance = 800 m and speed = 1600 m/s</em>

⇒ Time =\frac{1}{2}

⇒ Time =0.5 seconds.

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc
Afina-wow [57]
The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.
