A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 25-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 72-N horiz

ontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 55 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of static friction = μs x mg

Given force of static friction = 72 N

μs x mg = 72

μs = 72 / mg

= 72 / 25 x 9.8

= .294

Force of kinetic friction = μk x mg

Given force of kinetic friction = 55

μk x mg = 55

μk = 55 / mg

= 55 / 25 x 9.8

= .2245

A small sphere of reference-grade iron with a specific heat of 447 J/kg K and a mass of 0.515 kg is suddenly immersed in a water

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that sphere is cooled down at steady state, then we can estimate the rate of heat transfer ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in watts, that is, joules per second, by the following formula:

$\dot Q = m\cdot c\cdot \frac{T_{f}-T_{o}}{\Delta t}$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the sphere, measured in kilograms.

$c$ - Specific heat of the material, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

$T_{o}$ , $T_{f}$ - Initial and final temperatures of the sphere, measured in degrees Celsius.

$\Delta t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

In addition, we assume that both spheres experiment the same heat transfer rate, then we have the following identity:

$\frac{m_{I}\cdot c_{I}}{\Delta t_{I}} = \frac{m_{X}\cdot c_{X}}{\Delta t_{X}}$ (2)

Where:

$m_{I}$ , $m_{X}$ - Masses of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in kilograms.

$\Delta t_{I}$ , $\Delta t_{X}$ - Times of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in seconds.

$c_{I}$ , $c_{X}$ - Specific heats of the iron and unknown materials, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

$c_{X} = \left(\frac{\Delta t_{X}}{\Delta t_{I}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{m_{I}}{m_{X}} \right) \cdot c_{I}$

If we know that $\Delta t_{I} = 6.35\,s$ , $\Delta t_{X} = 4.59\,s$ , $m_{I} = 0.515\,kg$ , $m_{X} = 1.263\,kg$ and $c_{I} = 447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , then the specific heat of the unknown material is:

$c_{X} = \left(\frac{4.59\,s}{6.35\,s} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{0.515\,kg}{1.263\,kg} \right)\cdot \left(447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)$

$c_{X} = 131.750\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$

Then, the specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.

An automobile with a mass of 1232 kg accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s² in the forward direction. What is the net force acting on t

boyakko [2]

Based on Newton's second law:
Force = mass x acceleration

For this problem: we have the mass = 1232 kg and the acceleration = 2 m/s^2
So, just substitute with the givens in the above equation to calculate the force as follows:
Force = 1232 x 2 = 2464 Newtons
