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.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

A very long train is rolling at 4 m/s along a straight track. An observer is standing on the ground very dangerously close to th
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A. \vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B.  t = 50 s

Explanation:

A. The vectorial equation of the person who is getting closer to the other person is:

\vec{r}=\vec{v}t

r: position vector

v: speed vector = 6m/s i  (if you consider the motion as a horizontal motion)

Then, you replace and obtain:

\vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B. The time is:

t=\frac{d}{v}

d: distance to the observer = 300m

v: speed of the person on the car = 6.00 m/s

t=\frac{300m}{6m/s}=50s

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are
dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/<em>R₁</em> + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/<em>R₁</em> = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

<em>R₁</em> = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

The formation of condensation on a glass of ice water causes the ice to melt faster than it would otherwise. If 8.55 g of conden
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

m = 62.14 g

Explanation:

Energy used to melt the ice is the energy released by the condensation of the water forms on the glass

so here we have

energy for the condensation of water is given as

let mass of water condensed = m

E = m_1 L_f

now the energy of vaporization is given as

E = m_2 L_v

here we know that

L_f = 79.8 kCal/kg

L_v = 580 k Cal/kg

Now we have

8.55 \times 580 = m \times 79.8

m = 62.14 g
