A 2.0-kg silverware drawer does not slide readily. The owner gradually pulls with more and more force, and when the applied forc

e reaches 9.0 N, the drawer suddenly opens, throwing all the utensils to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet?

Answer: 0.45

Explanation:

First note that the body that causes the body to move is its moving force (Fm) which is 9.0N

Since the mass of the body is 2.0kg, the weight will be;

W= mg = 2×10

W= 20N

For static body, the frictional force (Ff) acting on the body is equal to the moving force (Fm) since both forces acts along the horizontal on the body.

Ff = Fm = 9.0N

The normal reaction (R) on the body will also be equal to its weight(W) since weight acts downwards and the reaction acts in the opposite direction (upwards).

R = W = 20N

Ff = nR taking 'n' as coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet.

9.0 = 20n

n = 9/20

n = 0.45

NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

What is the main difference between velocity and speed?
Marina86 [1]
Speed is scalar, meaning it's only going to be like 74 mph, doesn't matter which direction. Velocity is a vector, meaning it has direction. You can go -74mph when talking about velocity, not speed.

How do you calculate resistance with coulombs, time and J's?
Mars2501 [29]
Hey user


The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the voltage V in volts (V), times the electrical charge Q in coulombs (C):

E(J) = V(V) ×<span> Q</span>(C)

So

joule = volt × coulomb

or

J = V × C

Example

What is the energy in joules that is consumed in an electrical circuit with voltage supply of 15V and charge flow of 4 coulombs?

E = 15V × 4C = 60J
