A 15.0 kg block is pulled by a horizontal force of 30.0 N along a rough horizontal surface at a constant velocity. What is the c

oefficient of friction?

If the block is moving at a constant velocity, it means there is no net force, which means the frictional force is same in magnitude as the pulling force!

F_pull = Friction

Now the frictional force (F = cR) is related to the coefficient of friction & normal force, where the mass of block is important (R = mg). Putting all these small equations together:

F_pull = cR
F_pull = cmg

Let's plug in the values we know

(30) = c (15)(9.8)

... and use the calculator to find that coefficient, c!

1. Faça as transformações:
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

seconds (s) = hours (h) *3,600 ; h = \frac{s}{3,600} \\g = kg * 1,000; kg = \frac{g}{1,000} \\cm = \frac{m}{100};m = cm * 100

1. a) 0.5 h = 1,800 s

  h) 20 cm = 0.2 m

  b) 2.0 h = 7,200 s

   i) 5.0 kg = 5,000 g

  c) 3.5 h = 12,600 s

  j) 1.5 kg = 1,500 g

  d) 1/4 h = 900 s

  k) 450.0 g = 0.45 kg

  e) 3.0 m = 300 cm

   l) 20.0 g = 0.02 kg

  f) 2.5 m = 250 cm

  m) 500.0 g = 0.5 kg

   g) 0.5 m = 500 mm

   n) 1000.0 g = 1 kg

In science and engineering, the weight<span> of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. It is calculated by multiplying the mass with the gravitational acceleration.

W = mg = 1700 (9.81) = 16677 N

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.
