Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children

A 53 kg crate is at rest on a level floor, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.36. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

42.6 m

Explanation:

mass of crate m = 53 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.36

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Force, F = 372.098 N

Net force, f = F - friction force

f = 372.098 - μ m x g = 372.098 - 0.36 x 53 x 9.8

f = 185.114 N

acceleration, a = f / m = 185.114 / 53 = 3.49 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = 0

time, t = 4.94 s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

s = 0 + 1/2 x 3.49 x 4.94 x 4.94

s = 42.6 m

A projectile is fired from the ground at a velocity of 30.0 m/s, 35.0 º from the horizontal. What is the maximum height the proj
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Vy = V sin theta = 30 * ,574 = 17.2 m/s

t1 = 17.2 / 9.8 = 1.76 sec to reach max height

Max height = 17.2 * 1.76 - 1/2 * 4.9 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

H = V t - 1/2 g t^2 = 1.2 * 9.8 * 1.76^2 = 15.1 m

Time to fall from zero speed to ground = rise time = 1.76 sec

Vx = V cos 35 = 24.6 m / sec     horizontal speed

Time in air = 1.76 * 2 = 3.52 sec before returning to ground

S = 24.6 * 3.52 = 86.6 m

A 7 kg ball is moving at a constant speed of 5 m/s. A force of 300 N is applied to the ball for 4 s. The new speed of the ball i
olasank [31]

Answer:

The new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 7 kg

initial speed of the ball, u = 5 m/s

applied force, F = 300 N

time of force action on the ball, t = 4 s

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma = \frac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\m(v-u) = Ft\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u

where;

v is new speed of the ball

v =  \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v =\frac{300*4}{7} + 5\\\\v = 176.43 \ m/s

Therefore, the new speed of the ball is 176.43 m/s
