2. A 3.0 kg block rests on a level surface. The coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.50, and the coefficient of kinetic fric

tion is µk = 0.20. A horizontal force F is applied to the block. As F is increased, the block begins moving. Describe how the force of friction varies as F increases from the moment the block is at rest to when it begins moving. Indicate how you could determine the force of friction at each value of F—before the block starts moving, at the point it starts moving, and after it is moving. Show your work.

Friction force is equal to the applied force F until the block starts moving. Hence, it will increase until the maximum value of 3.0*10*0.50=150 N. 

While it's moving, the friction will be 3.0*10*0.2 = 60 N, constant. The rest of the applied force will accelerate the block.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
Mashutka [201]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 14,000 + 10,000x − 26,000x^{2}, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.

Explanation:

We will calculate the work done as follows.

     W = \int_{0}^{0.54} F dx

         = \int_{0}^{0.54} (14,000 + 10,000x - 26,000x^{2}) dx

         = [14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}

         = 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69

         = 7653.31 J

or,      = 7.65 kJ       (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.

How do you convert Kg's to Newtons?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
You don't convert kilograms to newtons.  By the time you've heard of these units, you know that 'kilogram' is a unit of mass, 'newton' is a unit of force or weight, and that mass and weight are different things.

Mass and force are <u>related</u> by Newton's second law: 

                       Force = Mass x acceleration .

From this simple formula, you can see that in order to relate a mass to a force, you need to know an acceleration.  And if the acceleration changes, then the relationship between the force and the mass also changes.  So there's no direct conversion.

ON EARTH ONLY, one kilogram of mass <em>weighs</em> 9.8 newtons. The acceleration that connects them is the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  In other places, with different gravitational accelerations, 1 kilogram weighs more or less newtons.

But they don't convert directly.  That would be like asking "How do you convert miles to miles-per-hour ?"

A dandelion seed floats to the ground in a mild wind with a resultant velocity of 26.0 cm/s. If the horizontal component velocit
stira [4]

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

The normal boiling point of cyclohexane is 81.0 ℃. what is the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81.0 ℃?
Hitman42 [59]
The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the pressure of the vapor of the liquid is equivalent to the external atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid. Therefore, the boiling point of the liquid is dependent on the atmospheric pressure.

Based on this, the vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 81 degrees celcius will be equal to atmospheric pressure (based on barometric readings)<span />
