A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on

e instant the box is sliding to the right at 1.75 m/s and that is stops in 2.25 s with uniform acceleration. The force that friction exerts on this box is closest to:

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F_f = ma (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

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

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

How much time will elapse between seeing and hearing an event?
julia-pushkina [17]

Depends on how far away the event is and what the temperature is as this affects the speed of sound.

For example, let's say you're 600 meters away and the temperature has no affect.

The speed of sound would be roughly 340 m/s so the time it would take to hear the sound would be 600/340 = 1.76 seconds

The speed of light (c) is 3.0 X 10^8 m/s so the time it would take to see the event would be 600/3 X 10^8 = 2 X 10^-7

Subtract: 1.76 - (2 X 10^-7) = approx. 1.76

what does the presence of the mosesaurus fossils tell the initial location and positioning of soyth america africa and antartica
kicyunya [14]
The remains of Mesosaurus- a crocodile-like reptilian tells United States that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once joined along which implies they were once an enormous continent. However, because of the idea called the geological phenomenon, this one massive continent began to break so making individual continents.

In space (no gravity or friction), you throw a ball with mass 0.1 kg at a target with mass 1 kg. You throw the ball at a speed o
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of  momentum in space to know the velocity of combination after the impact

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

.1 x 4 = ( 1 + .1 ) v₂

v₂ = .3636 m /s

1  )  

Kinetic energy of the combination

= 1/2 x 1.1 x ( .3636)²

= 7.3 x 10⁻² J

2 )

Initial kinetic energy of the system

= 1/2 x 0.1 x 4²

= 0.8 J

Final  kinetic energy of the system = 7.3 x 10⁻²

Loss of energy = .8 - .073

= .727 J

This energy was converted into internal energy of the system .

3 )

increase in entropy = dQ / T

Here dQ = .727 J

T  = 300 ( Constant )

dQ / T = 2.42 X 10⁻³ J/K
