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

Answer:

Respect is having a regard for other people and their lives; it is showing those around us compassion and empathy. Children who show respect will find they are successful in all aspects of life. The sports environment is a great place to grow and establish respect.

Two ice skaters stand in the middle of an ice rink. Drew has a mass of 75 kg, and Lily has a mass of 55 kg. Drew holds Lily, and

ss7ja [257]

PART a)

Before Drew throw Lily in forwards direction they both stays at rest

So initial speed of both of them is zero

So here we can say that initial momentum of both of them is zero

So total momentum of the system initially = ZERO

PART b)

Since there is no external force on the system of two

so there will be no change in the momentum of this system and it will remain same as initial momentum

So final momentum of both of them will be ZERO

PART c)

As we know that momentum of both will be zero always

so we have

$P_1 + P_2 = 0$

$75(v) + 55(2) = 0$

$v = 1.47 m/s$ in opposite direction

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is $d = 20 \ light \ hours = 20 * 3600 * c = 72000c \ m$

Here c is the peed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^8 m/s$

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is $t = 25 \ hours = 25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec$

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated as

$v_s = \frac{d }{t}$

substituting values

$v_s = \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}$

$v_s = 2.40*10^{8} \ m/s$

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

$T = t * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

substituting value

$T = 90000 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }$

$T = 54000 \ s$

=> $T = 15 \ hours$

So The time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's frame

The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ????????,2=17.9vi,2=17.9

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

V=27.24 m/s

Explanation:

We need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

$m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_{f}\\$

The velocity of the eagle its defined by its two components:

$v_x=V*cos(\theta)\\v_y=V*sin(\theta)\\v_x=35.9*cos(61.9^o)=16.9m/s\\v_y=35.9*sin(61.9^o)=31.7m/s$

$2*(16.9m/s(i)+31.66m/s(j))+17.9m/s(i)=3*v_f\\v_f=17.23m/s(i)+21.10m/s(j)$

because speed is a scalar value:

$V=\sqrt{(21.10m/s)^2+(17.23)^2}\\V=27.24m/s$
