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

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: electric field

Explanation: when a charge is placed in space, it alters the space around it by creating an electric field.

This electric field has the ability to exert a force (f) on any test charge(q) placed within this vicinity.

This is the reason why a charge can either attract or repel another charge.

A rod of length 0.82 m, rotating with an angular speed, 4.2 rad/s, about axes that pass perpendicularly through one end, has a m
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½Iω²

ΚΕ = ½(mL²/3)ω²

ΚΕ = ½(0.63(0.82²)/3)4.2²

ΚΕ = 1.24541928

KE = 1.2 J

At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound is − 3550.0 kJ / mol. When 1.075 g of this compound ( molar
swat32

Answer:

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all let's define the specific molar heat capacity.

C = \frac{-Q}{n\cdot \Delta T} (1)

Where:

Q is the released heat by the system

n is the number of moles

ΔT is the difference of temperature of the system  

Now, we can find n with the molar mass (M) the mass of the compound (m).

n=\frac{m}{M}=6.95\cdot 10^{-3} moles      

Using (1) we have:

C=\frac{-3550}{6.95\cdot 10^{-3} 4.073}

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

I hope it helps!

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy?
adelina 88 [10]

Potential energy can be found using this formula:

PE= m * g * h

where:

PE= potential energy

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s^2)

h= height

So your answer is height because you also use the gravitational constant.
