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.

A 2.00-kg rock has a horizontal velocity of magnitude 12.0 m>s when it is at point P in Fig. E10.35. (a) At this instant, wha
zaharov [31]

Answer:

(A) L = 115.3kgm²/s

(B) dL/dt = 94.1kgm²/s²

Explanation:

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the rock is given by the foemula

L = mvrSinθ

We have been given θ = 36.9°, m = 2.0kg, v = 12.0m/s and r = 8.0m.

Therefore L = 2.00 × 12 × 8.0 × Sin 36.9° =

115.3 kgm²/s

(B) The magnitude of the rate of angular change in momentum is given by

dL /dt = d(mvrSinθ)/dt = mgrSinθ = 2.00 × 9.8 × 8.0× Sin36.9 = 94.1kgm²/s²

How much does the speed of a car increase if it accelerates
Nata [24]

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

a = Δv / Δt

2.5 m/s² = Δv / 5 s

Δv = 12.5 m/s

The direction of the magnetic field produced by an electric current will change when the direction of the _ changes.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: Electric current

Explanation :

The direction of the magnetic field produced by an electric current will change when the direction of the electric current changes.

For example :

If a current is flowing in a straight length of wire, the magnetic field is described by a concentric circle (using right-hand rule).

Let the field lines are in the clockwise direction and when the direction of current is reversed then the direction of the magnetic field is in anticlockwise direction.

mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ball is thrown in forward direction by a person who is riding on the roof of the moving train.

-->If you neglected the air drag and relative to the ground, then the velocity of the ball is equal to the sum of the velocities of ball and the train.

-->Hence, the ball is moving faster.

-(b) Relative to the freight car, the ball moves at the same speed irrespective of train
