In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

e package has an initial speed of 2.00 m/s at the top of the incline, and it slides a distance of 12.0 m.
What must the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the inclined plane be so that the package reaches the bottom with no speed?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, \theta=20.0°

Mass of package is, m=2.50\ kg

Initial speed of package is, u=2.00\ m/s

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, v=0\ m/s

Distance of travel along the incline is, d=12.0\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be \mu.

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)

Solving for 'a', we get:

-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6} ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for \mu. This gives,

9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?
Verizon [17]

  • Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

  • Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

  • Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

  • Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

  • Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

Hope it helpz~ uh..

you should begin viewing a bacteria specimen with what objective lens? view available hint(s)for part g you should begin viewing
Sergio039 [100]
  • Some people view bacteria specimens with a 100x objective lens in order to see the smallest details.
  • Others may use a 10x objective lens for more general purposes, such as examining stained slides or pictures.
  • And still others may use a 40x objective lens to gain maximum resolution when viewing images of thick samples.

It is important to choose the appropriate magnification for your needs so that you can properly examine the specimen under study.

<h3>Why is the 100x objective lens necessary to see bacteria?</h3>
  • Bacteria must, of course, be viewed at the maximum magnification and resolution possible because to their small size.
  • Due to optical restrictions, this is approximately 1000x in a light microscope.
  • To improve resolution, the oil immersion method is performed. This calls for a unique 100x objective.
