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 gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl
Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

<u><em>initially:</em></u>

pressure of gas, = P_1

volume of gas, = V_1

<em><u>finally:</u></em>

pressure of gas, = P_2

volume of gas, = V_2

<u>To solve for final volume</u> V_2

<em>According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.</em>

<em>According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.</em>

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that <em>at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.</em>

Mathematically:

P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}

\Rightarrow P_1.V_1=k\ \rm(constant)

\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2

The graph shows a car's velocity over time. During which time period does the car have the greatest acceleration?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Between 0 and 1 seconds (B)

Explanation:

The velocity of the car over time is represented by the line graphed here

the steeper the line, the greater change in velocity that occurred in a given time frame.

The steepest portion of the line is between 0-1 seconds, which means that the greatest rate of change occurred between 0-1 seconds.

(acceleration is the rate of change)
