Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

Answer:

We only need the angle of inclination.

The coefficient of friction is 0.58

Explanation:

Check attachment for diagram

For a book placed on an inclined plane, the force acting on the object causing it to slide downwards is the moving Force (Fm).

Fm = Wsin(theta) = mgsin(theta)

The force opposing the moving force is the frictional force Ff

Ff = nR where

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction = mgcos(theta)

For the body to have a constant velocity (not accelerate), then Fm =Ff and W = R

n = Ff/R

n = Fm/R

n = Wsintheta/Wcostheta

n = sintheta/costheta

n = tan(theta)

Given theta = 30°

n = tan 30°

n = 0.58

the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.58

The calculation shows that the only information we need to get the coefficient of friction is the angle is inclination

Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

The refrigerant is being recovered from an A/C system. Five minutes after the recovery process is complete, the low-side pressur
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The low side pressure of an A/C system losing vacuum and the pressure rising above zero indicates that there is too much refrigerant in the system.

Explanation:

Considering an A/C system, the condenser fan might be malfunctioning if the low side pressure of the air conditioner is excessive. On the other hand, it's also conceivable that the system has been overcharged with refrigerant.

Stated the scenario that the refrigerant of the system was being recovered, it is an indication that the system is merely overcharged. Even with the engine off, you will notice high pressures.

Either too much oil is present, or there is too much refrigerant in the air conditioning system. In either case, until you let some of that pressure out—ideally, a mechanic should do this—the issue won't go away on its own.

A student applies a 10 N force to a wood block with a mass of 5 kg. The block is pushed across four different surfaces. The acce
Furkat [3]

The complete question is as follows: A student is subjected to a reaction force of 10 N northward from a 5 kg block while pushing the block over a smooth, level surface. Ignoring friction, what is the acceleration of the block?

Answer: The acceleration of the block is 2 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Given: Force = 10 N

Mass = 5 kg

It is known that force applied on an object is the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, F = m \times a

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

F = m \times a\\10 N = 5 kg \times a\\a = \frac{10}{5}\\= 2 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of block is 2 m/s^{2}.
