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

A question you can gather from this experiment is figuring out the distance traveled by the car, and how far it went. A simple solve of X equation could be used.

List atleast to conditions that could cause the pressure inside a sealed container of gas to increase
hjlf
There are exactly three ways that could happen:

1).  The container was heated, and the gas inside it got warmer.

2).  Some part inside the container moved somehow, and made
      the inside volume smaller, so the gas got scrunched into a
      smaller space.

3).  Somebody pumped some more gas into the container, so
      a greater amount of gas had to live in the same space.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
