A physics student stands on the rim of the canyon and drops a rock. The student measures the time for it to reach the bottom to
zysi [14]

Answer:

50.2 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following SUVAT equation for the vertical position of the rock:

y(t)=h+ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height (the depth of the canyon), taking the bottom of the canyon as reference position

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the rock

t is the time

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

When the rock reaches the bottom, t = 3.2 s and y = 0. Substituting these numbers and solving for h, we find the depth of the canyon:

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = -\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(3.2)^2=50.2 m

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep
salantis [7]
The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force F_f which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
F-F_f=0
so
F=F_f

The frictional force can be rewritten as
F_f = \mu m g
where m=50 kg, g=9.81 m/s^2. Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find \mu, the coefficient of dynamic friction:
\mu =  \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}  =0.20
