One student suggests using a front-loading washing machine instead of a top-loading washing machine to conserve water. Which of

these statements best describes the suggestion made by the student?
a. It is practical because it is easy to implement.
b. It is practical because a top-loading machine uses much more water than a front-loading machine.
c. It is not practical because all washing machines use the same amount of water.
d. It is not practical because front-loading machines are more expensive than top-loading machines.

B) <span> It is practical because a top-loading machine uses much more water than a front-loading machine.

Front-loading washing machines are able to better conserve water by automatically maintaining the same water level throughout the wash, while top-loading washing machines generally begin the cycle by filling up the barrel to a certain point. </span>

What do you know about potential energy? And how do we use it?
Liula [17]
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy, elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy, but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

b) \mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

\Sigma F_{y}=0

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

-F_{y}-W+N=0

When solving for the normal force we get:

N=F_{y}+W

we know that

W=mg

and

F_{y}=Fsin \theta

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}N

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

\Sigma F_{x}=0

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

-f+F_{x}=0

we know that:

F_{x}=Fcos \theta

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing \mu_{k} so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0

we add \mu_{k}mg to both sides so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg

Nos we factor F so we get:

F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg

and now we divide both sides of the equation into (cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta) so we get:

F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

which is the answer to part b.
