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 sled with no initial velocity accelerates at a rate of 3.2 m/s2 down a hill. How long does it take the sled to go 15 m to the
grin007 [14]
S = ut + 1/2 at^2
a = 3.2 m/s^2
s = 15m
Find t
15 = 1/2(3.2)t^2
15 = 3.2t^2/2
30 = 3.2t^2
30/ 3.2 = 9.38
Square root of 9.38 = 3.06
It takes 3.06 seconds

What is an element that needs to lose or gain<br> 4 valence electrons in order to become<br> stable?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Elements in Group 14 could lose four, or gain four electrons to achieve a noble gas structure. In fact, if they are going to form ions, Group 14 elements form positive ions. Carbon and silicon form covalent bonds. Carbon's millions of organic compounds are all based on shared electrons in covalent bonds.

What is cosmic microwave background radiation?
chubhunter [2.5K]
Cosmic, or background, radiation is the small amount of high energy radiation which is mostly left over from the big bang or from supernovas. It is mostly single protons, but also alpha particles and even sometimes heavier elements. It can also refer to the low levels of electromagnetic radiation present all over the universe.
