Initially, we will determine the net force based on the provided details. According to Newton's second law, F(net) = ma: F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5. Next, we will find the frictional force, f, which counters the applied force, F(app), explaining why the net force is slightly reduced: f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N. We can then compute the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N): f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N), yielding u = 42.5/[25(9.8)] = 0.17.

serg [3477]

Answer:

x₂=2×1

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, we can assume that the gravitational potential energy at the lowest point of compression is zero since the kinetic energy change is 0;

mgx-(kx)²/2 =0 where m refers to the object's mass, g indicates the acceleration due to gravity, k denotes spring constant, and x represents the spring's compression.

mgx=(kx)²/2

x=2mg/k----------------compression when the object is at rest

However, ΔK.E =-1/2mv²⇒kx²=mv² -----------where v symbolizes the object's velocity and K.E signifies kinetic energy

Thus, if kx²=mv² then

v=x *√(k/m) ----------------where v=0

<pDoubling v results in multiplying x *√(k/m) by 2, leading to x₂ being double x₁

Yuliya22 [3228]
The time period for any moon of Jupiter is described by the formula above, which also allows us to calculate Jupiter's mass. For part a, T is 1.77 days, which is equal to 152928 seconds. Applying the formula, we can derive the values needed. For part B, T equals 3.55 days or 306720 seconds, and repeating this with the necessary formula allows us to find the mass of Jupiter. For part c, T is 7.16 days, equating to 618624 seconds. Once again, using the earlier formula, we find Jupiter's mass. Finally, for PART D, T is noted to be 16.7 days or 1442880 seconds, and we can find the mass of Jupiter using the provided formula.

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Yuliya22 [3228]

For this issue, the answer is clarified as the system takes in energy (+). The surroundings contribute 84 KJ of work. Whenever a system is receiving work from its surroundings, the value will be positive. Therefore, it sums to 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.

A projectile is fired from ground level with a speed of 150 m/s at an angle 30.° above the horizontal on an airless planet where
Yuliya22 [3228]

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s

Two astronauts, A and B, both with mass of 60Kg, are moving along a straight line in the same direction in a weightless spaceshi
Keith_Richards [3146]

The answer is:

V=14m/s

Details are as follows:

According to the problem, we have

The combined mass of A and B is 60kg

A's speed is 2m/s

B's speed is 1m/s

The mass of the bag is 5kg

Typically, the momentum of astronaut A along with the bag is defined by

M_A=(60+5)*2

M_A=130kgm/s

To prevent a collision, astronaut A should maintain a speed that is either equal to or less than astronaut B's speed

Thus, the minimum speed astronaut A should achieve corresponds to that of astronaut B, which is 1

Consequently,

130=(60*1)=(5*v)

V=14m/s
