The work done by friction to move the sled is  - 1,323 J.

<h3>What is Coefficient of friction?</h3>
  • The friction coefficient is the ratio of the normal force pressing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them.
  • Typically, it is represented by the Greek letter µ. In terms of math, is equal to F/N, where F stands for frictional force and N for normal force.
  • The coefficient of friction has no dimensions because both F and N are measured in units of force (such as newtons or pounds). For both static and kinetic friction, the coefficient of friction has a range of values.
  • When an object experiences static friction, the frictional force resists any applied force, causing the object to stay at rest until the static frictional force is removed. The frictional force opposes an object's motion in kinetic friction.

Solution:

Given that

Coefficient of friction (µ) = 0.10

Mass (m) = 90kg

distance covered (d) = 30m

We use the formula:

friction work = -µmgdcos∅

friction work = -0.100 × 90 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 30 m × cos 60°

friction work = - 1,323 J

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper
zepelin [54]
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The  charge on the dust particle is  q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length is  l = 2.0 \ m

    The width is  w = 4.0 \ m

   The charge is  q =  -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C

    The mass suspended in mid-air is m_a =  5.0 \mu g =  5.0 *10^{-6} \ g =  5.0 *10^{-9} \  kg

   

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

           E =  \frac{q}{ 2 *  A  *  \epsilon _o}

Where \epsilon _o is the permittivity of free space with value \epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12}  \ \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

           E =  \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 *  (2 * 4 )  *  8.85*10^{-12}}

           E = -70621.5 \  N/C

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air  equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

        F__{E}} =  F__{G}}

=>     q_d *  E  =  m * g

=>      q_d  =  \frac{m * g}{E}

=>      q_d  =  \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}

=>     q_d  = 6.94 *10^{-13} \  C
