A horizontal force of 150 N is used to push a 40.0-kg packing crate a distance of 6.00 m on a rough horizontal surface. If the c

rate moves at constant speed, find (a) the work done by the 150-N force and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and surface.

Answer:

a. 900 J

b. 0.383

Explanation:

According to the question, the given data is as follows

Horizontal force = 150 N

Packing crate = 40.0 kg

Distance = 6.00 m

Based on the above information

a. The work done by the 150-N force is

W = F x = \mu N x = \mu\ m\ g\ x

W = 150 \times 6

= 900 J

b. Now the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and surface is

\mu = \frac {F}{m\timesg}

= \frac{150}{40\times 9.8}

= .383

We simply applied the above formulas so that each one part could calculate

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a cliff. At the same moment, a second identical ball is dropped from rest from
almond37 [142]

Answer:3

Explanation:

First ball is thrown with horizontal velocity while other ball is dropped from cliff such that both have zero vertical velocity. So both balls have to cover a distance equal to the height of cliff with same initial velocity.

time taken is given by t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

where h=height of cliff

g=acceleration due to gravity

horizontal velocity to first ball will make the ball to travel more horizontal distance as compared to second ball.

Option 3 is correct

A sound wave traveling at 343 m/s is emitted by the foghorn of a tugboat. an echo is heard 2.80 s later. how far away is the ref
Nostrana [21]
The echo is heard 2.80 s later, this means this is the time the sound takes to travel to the reflecting object and then back to us. So, during this time, the sound wave has covered the distance L between us and the object twice:
S=2L
The speed of the sound wave is: v=343 m/s, and since it is moving by uniform motion, we can find the distance covered by the wave using
S=vt=(343 m/s)(2.80 s)=960 m
And we said this corresponds to twice the distance between us and the reflecting object, so:
L= \frac{S}{2} = \frac{960 m}{2} =480 m
so, the object is 480 meters away.

HELP PLZZZZZZ
ValentinkaMS [17]

Hi there!

We know that:

U (Potential energy) = mgh

We are given the potential energy, so we can rearrange to solve for h (height):

U/mg = h

g = 9.81 m/s²

m = 30 g ⇒ 0.03 kg

0.062/(0.03 · 9.81) = 0.211 m

The answer to this question would be: <span>A) animals that live in deserts 

</span>Desert temperature is high, especially in the day, <span>An animal that lives in the desert needs to adapt to the high temperature either by reducing the heat or by increasing heat loss. By becoming nocturnal, the animal also able to evade the sunlight so it was less exposed to the heat. 
Unlike other option, the desert is lacking water. Desert is mostly dry and water would be a resource that hard to find. In this case, k</span><span>idneys adapted to check water loss would be a great help</span>
