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

Physics

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

What is a conversion factor?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

In a certain electrolysis experiment involving Al3+ ions, 60.2 g of Al is recovered when a current of 0.352 A is used. How many
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

30.5 x 10³ min.

Explanation:

Atomic weight of aluminium = 27

For the reaction

Al⁺³ + 3e  = Al

3 mole of electron is required by 1 mole of aluminium

3 x 96500 C of charge is required for 27 gram of aluminium

60.2 g aluminium will require

\frac{3\times96500}{27} \times60.2

645.47 x 10³ C

So charge required = 645.47 x 10³ C

Now Charge  = Current x time

Current ( given ) = 0.352A

Time = charge / current = 645.47 x 10³ / .352

=1833 x 10³ s

30.5 x 10³ minutes
