(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.

Energy is observed in two basic forms: potential and kinetic. Which of the following correctly matches these forms with a source
Travka [436]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Kinetic energy is the energy which is due to the motion of body.

Potential energy is the energy due to virtue of position of the object.

option A is not true because potential energy is due the position of the body

Option B should be the potential energy not kinetic energy.;

Option D is motion of individual molecule leads to kinetic energy not potential energy.

So, the correct answer is option is the covalent bonds of a sugar molecule is potential energy because of the position of bond.

A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?
fredd [130]

Answer:

a = 0.83\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Substituting:

\displaystyle a=\frac{25-0}{30}

\boxed{a = 0.83\ m/s^2}

A steel beam of mass 1975 kg and length 3 m is attached to the wall with a pin that can rotate freely on its right side. A cable
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) 29062.125 N·m

b) 0 N·m

c) Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) T = 11186.02 N

Explanation:

We are given

Beam mass = 1975 kg

Beam length = 3 m

Cable angle = 60° above horizontal

a) We have the formula for torque given as follows;

Torque about the pin = Force × Perpendicular distance of force from pin

Where the force = Force due to gravity or weight, we have

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 1975 × 9.81 = 19374.75 N

Point of action of force = Midpoint for a uniform beam = length/2

∴ Point of action of force = 3/2 = 1.5 m

Torque due to gravity = 19374.75 N × 1.5 m = 29062.125 N·m

b) Torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is given by the following relation;

Since the distance from pin to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is 0, the torque which is force multiplied by perpendicular distance is also 0 N·m

c) To find the expression for the tension force, T we find the sum of the moment forces about the pin as follows

Sum of moments about p is given as follows

∑M = 0 gives;

T·sin(θ) × L= M×L/2×g

Therefore torque due to tension is given by the following expression

Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;

3\times Tsin60 = \frac{1975\times 3\times 9.81}{2} = 29062.125

Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

T= \frac{29062.125}{3 \times sin(60)} = 11186.02 N

Three moles of a monatomic ideal gas are heated at a constant volume of 1.20 m3. The amount of heat added is 5.22x10^3 J.(a) Wha
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A) 140 k

b ) 5.22 *10^3 J

c) 2910 Pa

Explanation:

Volume of Monatomic ideal gas = 1.20 m^3

heat added ( Q ) = 5.22*10^3 J

number of moles  (n)  = 3

A ) calculate the change in temp of the gas

since the volume of gas is constant no work is said to be done

heat capacity of an Ideal monoatomic gas ( Q ) = n.(3/2).RΔT

make ΔT subject of the equation

ΔT = Q / n.(3/2).R

    = (5.22*10^3 ) / 3( 3/2 ) * (8.3144 J/mol.k )

    = 140 K

B) Calculate the change in its internal energy

ΔU = Q  this is because no work is done

therefore the change in internal energy = 5.22 * 10^3 J

C ) calculate the change in pressure

applying ideal gas equation

P = nRT/V

therefore ; Δ P = ( n*R*ΔT/V )

                        = ( 3 * 8.3144 * 140 ) / 1.20

                        = 2910 Pa

Objects with masses of 120 kg and a 420 kg are separated by 0.380 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objec
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

F_{net} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of first object, m = 120 kg

Mass of second object, m' = 420 kg

Mass of the third object, M = 69.0 kg

Distance between the m and m', d = 0.380 m

Now,

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m:

F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}

F = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 120\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7}\ N

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m':

F = \frac{GMm}{\frac({d}{2}^{2})}

F' = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 420\times 0.69}{\frac({0.380}{2}^{2})} = 5.35\times 10^{- 7}\ N

To calculate the gravitational force on the object of mass, M placed mid-way due to mass, m and m':

F_{net} = F + F'

F_{net} = 1.529\times 10^{- 7} + 5.35\times 10^{- 7} = 6.879\times 10^{- 7}\ N
