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.

PLEASE HELP! I don't get it at all! Speed is one thing; distance is another. Where is the arrow you shoot up at 50m/s when it ru
LuckyWell [14K]
I got you b, V(final)^2=V(initial+2acceleration*displacement
So this turns to (0m/s)^2=(50m/s)^2+2(9.8)(d) so just flip it all around to isolate d so you get
-(50m/s)^2/2(9.8) = d so you get roughly 12.7555 meters up

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

if you run around a circle at 4.5 m/s and the circle has a radius of 7.7 m, what is your centripetal acceleration?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration,

a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration:

Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.

Centripetal means towards the center.

Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.

An acceleration is a change in velocity.

Formula for Centripetal acceleration:

a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}

Given here,

Velocity = 4.5 m/s

radius = 7.7 m

To Find :

a_{c} = ?

Solution:

We have,

a_{c} =\frac{(velocity)^{2} }{radius}

Substituting  given value in it we get

a_{c} =\frac{(4.5)^{2}}{7.7} \\\\a_{c} =\frac{20.25}{7.7}\\\\a_{c} =2.629\ m/s^{2} \\\\\therefore a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2

Centripetal acceleration,

a_{c} =2.63\ m/s^{2} }
