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.

During an exothermic reaction; light and heat are released into the environment.

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. This heat can be physically observed sometimes like in an a combustion reaction.

In an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

This heat lost is sometimes felt as the hotness of the vessel in which the reaction has taken place.

In conclusion, light and heat are released into the environment in an exothermic reaction.

Question 4 How much time does it take to walk 8 km north at a velocity of 3.8 km/h?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Given parameters:

Displacement = 8km

Velocity  = 3.8km/h

Unknown:

time  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is displacement divided by time.

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

      Displacement  = velocity x time

Input the parameters:

              8  = 3.8  x time

 Time  = \frac{8}{3.8}   = 2.1s

The time taken is 2.1s
