A 51.1-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.622 and 0.368,

respectively. What horizontal pushing force is required to (a) just start the crate moving and (b) slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed?

Answer:

(a)  The force must be greater than 311.4851 N to just start the crate moving

(b)  The 184.287 N force needed to to slide the crate at constant speed      

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the crate m = 51.1 kg

Coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.622 and coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.368

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

(A) Static frictional force is given by F_S=\mu _Smg=0.622\times 9.8\times 51.1=311.48516N

So the force must be greater than 311.4851 N to just start the crate moving

(b) For sliding the crate across the dock at a constant speed force must be equal to kinetic friction force

Kinetic friction force is given by F_k=\mu _kmg=0.368\times 9.8\times 51.1=184.287N

So the 184.287 N force needed to to slide the crate at constant speed

A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s . Assume in this problem that air drag
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

States that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other
pishuonlain [190]

"Edmond Locard" states that there is an exchange of materials when two objects come into contact with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A French criminologist who was popular as the "Sherlock Holmes of France," the pioneer in forensic science named as Dr. Edmond Locard. He articulated forensic science's fundamental principle "Each touch leaves a trace." This became known as Locard's philosophy of exchange. A Locard hypothesized that each and every time you touch another person, place or object, the result would be an exchange of materials. Burglars, for instance, will leave evidence of their existence behind and take traces with them too.

Is the 3 in the molecule a coefficient, subscript, or element? 3H₂O₂

Let's look at the 3 possibilities and see what they are for </span>3H₂O₂ coefficient - This is used to indicate that multiple molecules are used for the formula. In 3H₂O₂ that indicates that we are talking about 3 molecules of H₂O₂ subscript - This is a small number set in a smaller font and placed low to the elements. It indicates the number of each type of atom in the compound. For the formula 3H₂O₂ there are 2 subscripts. Both of them being the number "2" set small and low just after the letters H and O. Those subscripts indicate that there are 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. element - This is the abbreviation for the elements used in the compound. In <span>3H₂O₂</span> there are 2 different elements. H to indicate hydrogen, and O to indicate oxygen.
