Santa doesn't want to push a 25.0 kg wooden box across a wooden floor with a uk of 0.20 at

Physics
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

49 N

Explanation:

In order to move the box at constant speed, the acceleration of the box must be zero (a=0): this means, according to Newton's second law,

F = ma

that the net force acting on the box, F, must be zero as well.

Here there are two forces acting on the box in the horizontal direction while it is moving:

- The force of push applied by the guy, F

- The frictional force, F_f

For an object moving on a flat surface, the frictional force is given by

F_f = \mu_k mg

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the box

g is the acceleration of gravity

So the equation of the forces becomes

F-\mu_k mg = 0

And substituting:

\mu_k = 0.20\\m = 25.0 kg\\g = 9.8 m/s^2

We find the force that must be applied by the guy:

F=\mu_k mg = (0.20)(25.0)(9.8)=49 N

Give two examples of workplace environments where considerations must be made with respect to the possibility of electric discha
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1.) Oil and gas environment

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Explanation:

1.) Oil and gas environment.

Electricity and electric discharge are recognized as serious workplace hazard in oil and gas companies, exposing employees to burns, fires, and explosions.

2.) Mechanical engineering and electrical environment.

Electricity or electric discharge has long been recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires, and explosions. Workers could die from electrocutions at work. This is

accounting for on-the-job fatalities and what makes these more tragic is that most of these fatalities could have been easily avoided.

An observer is approaching at stationary source at 17.0 m/s. Assuming the speed of sound is 343 m/s, what is the frequency heard
UNO [17]

Answer:

the frequency heard by the observer is equal to 2677 Hz

Explanation:

given,      

velocity of the observer = 17 m/s

speed of the sound = 343 m/s    

velocity of the source = 0 m/s    

frequency emitted from the source  = 2550 Hz              

f = f_0(\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s})              

f = 2550\times (\dfrac{343+17}{343-0})

velocity of observer is negative as it is approaching the source.                   f = 2676.38 Hz ≈ 2677 Hz                    

hence, the frequency heard by the observer is equal to 2677 Hz
