You apply a 50 N rightward force to a 4 kg cart to accelerate it across a horizontal surface at a rate of 3.28m/s2.
1 answer:
Answer:
The force of friction is 36.88 N
The coefficient of friction is 0.94
Explanation:
Lets explain how to solve the problem
The force applied is 50 N rightward
The mass of the cart is 4 kg
The applied force makes the cart accelerate across a horizontal surface
The acceleration is 3.28 m/s²
We need to find the force of friction acting upon the cart
According to Newton's law
→ ∑ F in direction of motion = mass × acceleration
We have two horizontal forces acting on the cart
→ The force applied = 50 N
→ The force of friction in opposite direction of motion
→ The mass = 4 kg
→ Acceleration = 3.28 m/s²
Substitute these values in the rule
→ 50 - = 4 × 3.28
→ 50 - = 13.12
Add for both sides
→ 50 = + 13.12
Subtract 13.12 from both sides
→ 36.88 =
<em>The force of friction is 36.88 N</em>
→ The force of friction = μ R
where R is the normal reaction and μ is the coefficient of friction
→ R = mg
where m is the mass of the cart and g is the acceleration of gravity
→ = μ mg
→ g = 9.8 m/s² , m = 4 kg , = 36.88 N
Substitute these values in the rule
→ 36.88 = μ (4)(9.8)
→ 36.88 = 39.2 μ
Divide both sides by 39.2
→ μ = 0.94
<em>The coefficient of friction is 0.94</em>

Answer:
Frequency, f = 1 unit
Explanation:
It is given that,
Period of the wave, T = 1 unit
We need to find the frequency of the wave. There exist an inverse relationship between period and the frequency of the wave. It is given by :
Or
f = 1 unit
So, the frequency of the wave is 1 unit. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since fluid is pumping in and out at the same rate (5L/min), the total fluid volume in the tank stays constant at 350L. Only the amount of salt and its concentration changed overtime.
Let A(t) be the amount of salt (g) at time t and C(t) (g/L) be the concentration at time t
A(0) = 10 g
Brine with concentration of 1g/L is pouring in at the rate of 5L/min so the salt income rate is 5 g/min
The well-mixed solution is pouring out at the rate of 5L/min at concentration C(t) so the salt outcome rate is 5C g/min
But the concentration is total amount of salt over 350L constant volume
C = A / 350
Therefore our rate of change for salt A' is
A' = 5 - 5A/350 = 5 - A/70
This is a first-order linear ordinary differential equation and it has the form of y' = a + by. The solution of this is
So
with A(0) = 10
c + 350 = 10
c = 10 - 350 = -340
