We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

Answer:

\mu_k = 0.47

Explanation:

As we know that the mass of the curator is

M = 145 kg

now the Force of kinetic friction on the curator is given as

F_k = \mu_k F_n

now we know that the normal force on the curator is counter balanced by the weight of the curator

so we can say

F_n = mg

F_n = (145)(9.8)

F_n = 1421 N

Now from above formula we have

668 = \mu_k (1421)

\mu_k = \frac{668}{1421}

\mu_k = 0.47

N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) The average speed is 0.85 milles/minute

(b) The average velocity is zero

Explanation:

In order to answer part (a) and (b) you have to apply the formulas for average speed and average velocity which are:

<em>-Average speed formula:</em>

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the tota time

Replacing the given values:

v=\frac{14+14}{18+15}\\v=\frac{28}{33} \\v=0.85 milles/minute

Notice that you have to replace the total distance, which is 14 milles for the go plus 14 milles for the return. The same for the total time.

<em>-Average velocity formula:</em>

V = Δx/Δt

Where V is the velocity vector, Δx is the displacement and Δt is the change in time

V= \frac{X2-X1}{t2-t1}

Where X2 is the final position and X1 is the initial position

In this case X1= 0 i and X2=0 i (i is the unit vector in the x direction). So, the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the average velocity is:

V= 0 i [milles/minute]

You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s

velocity after 5 s is 30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

0=31.29-3.576\times t

t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

v^2-u^2=2as

0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s

s=136.89 m
