    How Do You Calculate the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction on a Sled?

    So what you're saying to do is Fn= 60cos15 - 60cos15 ? Then the answer is automatically 0 or undefined.

    How Do You Calculate the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction on a Sled?

    1. A boy drags his 60.0N sled at constant speed up a 15 degree hill. He does so by pulling with a 25.0-N force on a rope attached to the sled.If the rope is inclined at 35.0 degrees to the horizantal, (a) what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and snow? (b) At the top of the...

    Compare Ions: 1 Mol Nickel (II) vs 1 Mol Copper (I)

    Which will have the greater number of ions, 1 mol of nickel (II) or 1 mol of copper (I)? 2. No equations 3. Nickel: 1 mol/58.69 g of Ni * 6.022*10^23 ions/ 1 mol = 1.03 * 10^22 ions. Copper: 1 mol/ 63.55 g of Cu * 6.022 * 10^23 ions/ 1 mol = 9.48 * 10 ^ 21 ions. Nickel will...

    Chemistry Which Molecule is More Polar: Br2 or HBr?

    1. Determine the shapes of Br2 (2 Bromine atoms) and HBr. Which is more polar and why? 2. No equations. 3. Okay, I know that Br2 and HBr molecule shapes are linear (I know how to draw them) but I do not get how to find which one is more polar. :confused:

    What Is the Rate of Change of the Cone's Height When the Radius Is 3 Units?

    The volume V of a cone (V = 1/3*pi*r^2*h) is increasing at the rate of 28pi cubic units per second. At the instant when the radius r of the cone is 3 units, its volume is 12pi cubic units and the radius is increasing at 1/2 unit per second. At the instant when the radius of the cone is 3 units...

    How Do You Calculate Width in a Changing Rectangle with Constant Area?

    Okay, I got stuck again. DL/dt*W+ L*DW/dt = 0. 4*W + L* -.5 = 0. How do you find L? Once you find L, isn't it obvious what W will be? Then you wouldn't have to go through this whole rate problem.

    How Do You Calculate Width in a Changing Rectangle with Constant Area?

    1. A rectangle has a constant area of 200 square meters and its length L is increasing at the rate of 4 meters per second. Find the width W at the instant the width is decreasing at the rate of 0.5 meters per second. 2. Know: dL/dt= 4 m/s, dW/dt=.5 m/s Want: W 3. LW=A. Then DL/dt...
