The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

A carton is given a push across a horizontal, frictionless surface. The carton has a mass m, the push gives it an initial speed
sammy [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Carbon mass = m

Initial speed = v_i

Coefficient = μk

Based on the above information, the expressions are as follows

a. By using the energy considerations the expression for the carton moving distance is

As we know that

Fd = \frac{1}{2} m (v_i^2- v_f^2)

where,

v_f = 0

F = u_kmg

(\mu_kg) d = \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2

d = \frac{\frac{1}{2}v_i^2}{\mu_kg}

d = \frac{v_i^2}{2 \mu_kg}

b. The initial speed of the carton if the factor of 3 risen, so the expression is

v_i^1 = 3v_i

d^i = \frac{(3v_i^2)}{2\mu_kg}

= \frac{9v_i^2}{2\mu_kg}

d^i = 9(d)
