1) Static friction coefficient: 0.355

The crate is initially at rest. The crate remains at rest until the horizontal pushing force is less than the maximum static frictional force.

The maximum static frictional force is given by

F_s = \mu_s mg

where

\mu_s is the static coefficient of friction

m = 21 kg is the mass of the crate

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

The horizontal force required to set the crate in motion is 73 N: this means that this is the value of the maximum static frictional force. So we have

F_s=73 N

Using this information into the previous equation, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

\mu_s = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{73 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.355

2) Kinetic friction coefficient: 0.267

Now the crate is in motion: this means that the kinetic friction is acting on the crate, and its magnitude is

F_k = \mu_k mg (1)

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of kinetic friction

There is a horizontal force of

F = 55 N

pushing the crate. Moreover, the speed of the crate is constant: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0.

So we can write Newton's second law as

F-F_k = ma = 0

And by substituting (1), we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:

F-\mu_k mg = 0\\\mu_k = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{55 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.267

What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph?
hammer [34]

The answer to the question<u> What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph</u> is A. Linear

Since Force, F = ma where m = mass and a = acceleration. For constant mass, F ∝ a. That is, F is directly proportional to acceleration, a.

Since this is a linear relationship, the graph of force vs acceleration will be linear.

39. Draw a complete free body diagram of a 40 kg plastic crate at rest on a wooden table (us=0.7). The applied force to the righ
Leya [2.2K]

In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:

\begin{gathered} F_f=N\cdot\mu \\ F_f=40\cdot9.8\cdot0.7 \\ F_f=274.4\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.

The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.

So, drawing the diagram, we have:

An object carries a +15.5 µC charge. It is 0.525 m from a -7.25 µC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ob
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.

Explanation:

Given;

first charge carried by the object, q₁ = 15.5 µC

second charge carried by the q₂ = -7.25 µC

distance between the two charges, r = 0.525 m

The force of attraction between the two charges is calculated as;

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(15\times 10^{-6})(7.25\times 10^{-6})}{(0.525)^2} \\\\F = 3.55 \ N

Therefore, the force of attraction between the two charges is 3.55 N.
