A crate is given a push across a horizontal surface. The crate has a mass m, the push gives it an initial speed of 1.90 m/s, and

the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is 0.120.
(a) Use energy considerations to find the distance (in m) the crate moves before it stops.

(b) Determine the stopping distance (in m) for the crate if its initial speed is doubled to 3.80 m/s.

Answer:

a) s = 1.534\,m, b) s = 6.135\,m

Explanation:

a) The energy equation for the crate is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected due to the information of a horizontal surface:

K_{A} = W_{loss}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = \mu_{k} \cdot m \cdot g\cdot s

The distance that crate needs to cover before stopping is:

s = \frac{v^{2}}{2\cdot \mu_{k}\cdot g}

s = \frac{(1.90\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (0.120)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}

s = 1.534\,m

b) The stopping distance is:

s = \frac{(3.80\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (0.120)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}

s = 6.135\,m

Gravity pulled materials together forming the planets in our solar system. The inner planets consist of dense material, such as
Ede4ka [16]

Scientist identify the process in which gravity pulled materials together forming the planets in our solar system as accretion.

Accretion is the formation model of planets in our solar system in which gravity pulls materials together forming the planets.

This formation model accounts for the formation of the inner planets made of of dense material such as iron. These planets include Mercury, venus, earth etc.

As the gravity pulls in the more dense material, the less dense material such as ice, liquid and gas colect together to form the outer planets, which include Jupiter, Uranus, etc.

So, Scientist identify the process in which gravity pulled materials together forming the planets in our solar system as accretion.

What is the difference in the positioning of the Sun, Earth and moon for a lunar eclipse versus a full moon?
Lady bird [3.3K]

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

At what temperature the semiconductor behaves like conductor?​
hammer [34]

Answer:

A semiconductor acts like an ideal insulator at absolute zero temperature that is at zero kelvin. It is because the free electrons in the valence band of semiconductors will not carry enough thermal energy to overcome the forbidden energy gap at absolute zero.
