Answer:

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

A stockroom worker pushes a box with mass 11.2 kg on a horizontal surface with constant speed of 3.50m/s. The coefficient of kin

stellarik [79]

Answer:

3.125 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=m=11.2 kg

Speed of box=u=3.5m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction= $\mu_k=0.2$

Final velocity,v=0

a.We have to find the horizontal force applied by worker to maintain the motion.

According to question

Horizontal force=F= $f=\mu_kmg$

$g=9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

Horizontal force= $F=0.2\times 11.2\times 9.8=21.95 N$

b.According to work-energy theorem

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

$-\mu mg s=\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(0)^2-\frac{1}[2}(11.20)(3.5)^2$

$-\mu mg s=-\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(3.5)^2$

$0.2\times (11.2)\times 9.8\times s=\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(3.5)^2$

$s=\frac{11.2\times (3.5)^2}{2\times 0.2\times 11.2\times 9.8}$

$s=3.125 m$

Hence, the box slide before coming to rest=3.125 m

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/

Akimi4 [234]

The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
