A horizontal force of 140 N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at constant speed . Find the coefficient of

friction between the floor and box to three significant figures.​
Physics

____ [38]1 year ago
4 0

Explanation:

formula for force is:

force=mass × acceleration

but in case of friction

force =coefficient of friction × Normal Reaction

F. = u × R

U = F/R

but when placed horizontally

R= M×G

M=mass=60kg

G=Gravity(10m/s or 9.8m/s)

F=140N

U=140/60×10

U=140/600

U=0.2333333333

approximately to 3 significant figures

U=0.233

if i am correct rate it 5 star

Why does a heater having low resistance heating coils get heated more?​
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: If you use a very small resistance AND the circuit design is such that the voltage drop is across the resistance of the heating-wire-circuit, [nothing else in the circuit is limiting current flow] you will get more heating. That's what we have in a heat anticipator internal-nichrome-wire-heater device.

A charged particle having mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg (that of a helium atom) moving at 8.70 x 105 m/s perpendicular to a 1.30-T magnet
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

velocity of the particle, v = 8.7 x 10⁵ m/s

strength of the magnetic field, B = 1.3 T

radius of the circle, r = 18 mm = 1.8 x 10⁻³ m

The magnetic force experienced by the charge is calculated as;

F = ma = qvB

where;

q is the charge of the particle

a is the acceleration of the charge in the circular path

a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\ma = qvB\\\\q = \frac{ma}{vB} \\\\q = \frac{mv^2}{rvB} = \frac{mv}{rB} \\\\q = \frac{(6.64\times 10^{-27} ) \times (8.7\times 10^5)}{(1.8\times 10^{-2}) \times (1.3)} \\\\q = 2.47 \ \times 10^{-19} \ C

Therefore, the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

An object weighing 4 newtons swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac
