A force of 21.0 n is required to start a 2.8 kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor. (a) what is the coefficient of st

atic friction between the box and the floor? (b) if the 21.0 n force continues, the box accelerates at 0.50 m/s2. what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

(a)
F_f = u_sN
Assuming the box is on a horizontal surface, the Normal Force would be equal to the Gravitational force which is 2.8 * 9.8 = 27.44N. You are already given the force, so we are ready to solve:
21 = u_s(27.44)
u_s=0.77
Since a coefficient of friction doesn't have units, your answer is 0.77.

(b)
We can use F = ma to get the Force, and then the same Normal force to get the kinetic coefficient of friction.

F = ma = 2.8(0.5) = 1.4N

We can use that to formulate the kinetic coefficient of friction:
1.4 = u_k(27.44)
u_k = 0.051

And those are your answers. Hope this helps. I'm not a college student, but I'm taking AP Physics, so I have an idea.

A ball is thrown w a speed of 30m/s at an angle of 10. When is the vertical component of the velocity equal to zero
irga5000 [103]

Now the vertical velocity of the ball thrown at an angle 10° is given as

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 30m/s x sin 10

Voy(initial vertical velocity)= 5.2m/s

Now the ball is decelerating with an acceleration due to gravity equivalent to 9.8m/s^2.

Let Vy be the final velocity and that is equal to zero in this case.

Now

Vy= Voy- tx9.8

Where t is the time at which the vertical velocity becomes 0.

Substituting the values we get

0= 5.2-tx9.8

9.8t=5.2

t=0.53 secs

Ohm's law states a relationship between voltage, current, and charge. that less current flows when a higher voltage is applied.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Ohm's law: If the temperature of a conductor remains constant, then the current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the conductor.

V =  I R

where, v is the potential difference, I be the current and R be the resistance

So, when the potential difference increases, the current flowing through the conductor also increases.
