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.

Select the correct statement about osmolarity. a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution. b) The contents
8090 [49]

Answer:

a) Osmolarity measures the moles of solute per liter of solution.

Explanation:

Osmolarity is defined as the number of moles of solute that contribute to the osmotic pressure, per liter of solution, of solution. That is, the measurement of the solute concentration. The prefix "osmo-" indicates the possible variation of the osmotic pressure in the cells, which will occur when the solution is introduced into the body.

A 14n force is applied for 0.33 seconds, calculate the impulse
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

4.62 N-s

Explanation:

recall that the formula for impulse is given by

Impulse = Force x change in time

in our case, we are given

Force = 14 N

change in time = 0.33s

Simply substituting the above into the equation for impulse, we get

Impulse = Force x change in time

Impulse = 14 x 0.33

= 4.62 N-s

We know that the Moon revolves around Earth during a period of 27.3 days. The average distance from the center of Earth to the c
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a circular motion questions

Where the oscillation is 27.3days

Given radius (r)=3.84×10^8m

Circular motion formulas

V=wr

a=v^2/r

w=θ/t

Now, the moon makes one complete oscillation for 27.3days

Then, one complete oscillation is 2πrad

Therefore, θ=2πrad

Then 27.3 days to secs

1day=24hrs

1hrs=3600sec

Therefore, 1day=24×3600secs

Now, 27.3days= 27.3×24×3600=2358720secs

t=2358720secs

Now,

w=θ/t

w=2π/2358720 rad/secs

Now,

V=wr

V=2π/2358720 ×3.84×10^8

V=1022.9m/s

Then,

a=v^2/r

a=1022.9^2/×3.84×10^8

a=0.0027m/s^2
