In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard,students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallwa

y. If the 3.5 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.90 m by the horizontal 25 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.60 m/s,what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?

Answer:

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.

Explanation:

Using the velocity formula;

v^2 = 2as

a = v^2/(2s)

a = 1.6^2/(2*0.9)

a = 2.56/1.8

a = 1.42 m/s^2

the force necessary to give the book the acceleration is  

F = ma = 3.5*1.42 (m is mass of the book i.e. 3.5 kg)

F = 4.98 N

The difference in the force is the friction force, which is

Ff = 25 - 4.98 = 20 N

Ff = mgμ

where μ is coefficient of friction and g is acceleration due to gravity that is 9.8 m/s^2

μ = Ff/mg

μ = 20/(3.5*9.81)

μ = 0.582

Coefficient of friction between the book and floor is 0.582.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

(m_1+m_2)a = g(m_1-m_2)

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a =\dfrac{g(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(42.0-21.0)}{(42.0+21.0)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(21.0)}{(63.0)}

a =\dfrac{205.8}{(63.0)}

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = \dfrac{2m_1m_2g}{(m_1+m_2)}

T = \dfrac{2(42)(21)(9.81)}{(42+21)}

T = \dfrac{17304.84}{63}

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N
