A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 165 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in

motion, a 127 N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor.

Answer:

\mu_k=0.51  

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , m = 25 kg

We know that when body is in rest condition then static friction force act on the body and when body is in motion the kinetic friction force act on the body .That is why these two forces are given as follows

Static friction force ,fs= 165 N

Kinetic friction force ,fk = 127 N

If the body is moving with constant velocity ,it means that acceleration of that body is zero and all the forces are balanced.

Lets take coefficient of kinetic friction  = μk

The kinetic friction is given as follows

fk = μk  m g

Now by putting the values

127 = μk x 25 x 9.81

\mu_k=\dfrac{127}{25\times 9.81}

\mu_k=0.51

Therefore the value of coefficient of kinetic friction will be 0.51

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to
Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2  

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?
lianna [129]
They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>

The density of gold is 19 300kg/m cube. what is the mass of gold cube with the length 0.2015m?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

157.9 kg

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body and it's volume.

The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.

From the question,

Density = Mass/volume

D = m/v............................ Equation 1

Where D = Density of gold, m = mass of gold, v = volume of gold.

make m the subject of the equation

m = Dv.................... Equation 2

Since the gold is a cube,

v = l³................... Equation 3

Where l = length of the gold cube.

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

m = Dl³............... Equation 4

Given: D = 19300 kg/m³, l = 0.2015 m

Substitute into equation 4

m = 19300(0.2015)³

m = 157.9 kg.
