If you use a horizontal force of 33.0 N to slide a 11.0 kg wooden crate across a floor at a constant velocity, what is the coeff

icient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor?
Physics

Answer:

μ= 0.3

Explanation:

Given that

F= 33 N

m = 11 kg

Given that crate is moving with constant velocity is means that acceleration of the crate is zero.If acceleration of the system is zero then the total force on the system will be balance.

Therefore

F= Friction force

F= μ m g

μ=Coefficient of friction

33 = μ x 10 x 11                       ( take g= 10 m/s²)    

3 = 10 μ

μ= 0.3

Therefore coefficient of friction will be 0.3 .

A ball moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s comes to rest after 2s. What was the ball's acceleration?
Inga [223]

Answer:

-2.5m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by

a = Δv / t        ----------------(i)

Where;

a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity   (measure in m/s)

t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))

From the question;

i. initial velocity = 5m/s

final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]

Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s

ii. time taken = t = 2s

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

a = (-5m/s) / (2s)

a = -2.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²

NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.

A cheetah can run at approximately 100 km/hr and a gazelle at 80 km/hr. If both animals are running at full speed, with a gazell
zimovet [89]
The cheetah's speed is 100x and The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70. Set the two equations equal to each other: 100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides). 20x = 70 (then divide by 20). X =3.5. The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5

If there is an unbalanced force acting on an object, the object will?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

because newton's second law states that if a resultant force acts on an object then, it will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?
erica [24]
We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
