It takes 25N or force to drag a box along the floor at a constant speed. If the coefficient of friction is .3, what is the mass

of the box?

Nataliya [291]2 years ago

The mass of the box is 8.5 kg.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass can be defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body.

To calculate the mass of the box, we use the formula

Formula:

  • F = mgμ............. Equation 1

Where:

  • F = Force
  • m = mass of the box
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • μ = coefficient of friction

Make m the subject of the equation

  • m = F/gμ..................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 25 N
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • μ = 0.3

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • m = 25/(0.3×9.8)
  • m = 25/2.94
  • m = 8.5 kg

Hence, the mass of the box is 8.5 kg.

A ray of light travels across a liquid-to-glass interface. if the indices of refraction for the liquid and glass are, respective
prisoha [69]
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°

A satellite omass1000 kg moves in a circular orbit of radius 8000 km round the earth,assumed to be a sphere of radius 6400 km. C
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

ΔE = 37.8 x 10^9 J

Explanation:

The energy required will increased the potential energy and increase the kinetic energy.

As the altitude change is fairly small compared to the earth radius, we can ASSUME that the average gravity will be a good representative

Gravity acceleration at altitude would be 9.8(6400²/8000²) = 6.272 m/s²

G(avg) = (9.8 + 6.272)/2 = 8.036 m/s²

ΔPE = mG(avg)Δh = 1000(8.036)(8e6 - 6.4e6) = 12.857e9 J

The centripetal force at orbit must be equal to the gravity force

mv²/R = mg'

v²/8.0e6 = 6.272

v² = (6.272(8.0e6)) = 50.2e6 m²/s²

The maximum velocity when resting on earth at the equator is about 460 m/s.

The change in kinetic energy is

ΔKE = ½m(vf² - vi²)(1000)

ΔKE = ½(1000)(50.2e6 - 460²) = 25e9 J

Total energy increase is

25e9 + 12.857e9 = 37.8e9 J

A 3 mm inside diameter tube is placed in a fluid with a surface tension of 600 mN/m and density of 3.7 g/cm3. The contact angle
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: The height of the fluid rise is 0.01m

Explanation:

Using the equation

h = (2TcosѲ )/rpg

h= height of the fluid rise

diameter of the tube =3mm

radius of the tube= 3/2 =1.5mm=0.0015

T= surface tension = 600mN/m=0.6N/m

Ѳ = contact angle = 60^oC

p= density =3.7g/cm3= 3700kg/m3

g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

h = ( 2*0.6*0.5)/(0.0015*3700*9.8)

h = 0.6/54.39

h= 0.01m

Therefore,the height of the fluid rise is 0.01m
