Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiments, they studied the maximum speed that quolls could run around a curved path without slipping. One quoll was running at 2.4 m/sm/s around a curve with a radius of 1.4 mm when it started to slip. What was the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial?

Answer///air resistance,drag;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s

Answer: 1.4 seconds which is the third optionexplanation: current is defined as the flow of charge per timetherefore, the equation that relates current, charge and time can be expressed as follows: i = δq / δtwhere: i is the current given = 1.8 ampereδq is the charge given = 2.5 coulombδt is the time required for the flow of the given charges to give the 1.8 ampere.substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the time as follows: 1.8 = 2.5 / δtδt = 2.5 / 1.8 = 1.38888 which is approximately 1.4 secondshope this was !
