A 75 N box of oranges is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each

second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward.
Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor?

Answer:

μk = 0.26885

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law:

∑Fx = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data:

a= -0.9  m/s²,  

g = 9.81 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

W= 75 N :  Block weight

W= m*g  

m =  W/g = 75/9.8= 7.65 kg :  Block mass

Friction force : Ff

Ff= μk*N

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    , ay=0

N-W-25 = 0

N = 75 +25

N= 100N

∑Fx = m*ax    

20-Ff= m*ax    

20-μk*100 = 7.65*(-0.90 )

20+7.65*(0.90) = μk*100

μk = ( 20+7.65*(0.90)) / (100)

μk = 0.26885

A 4-79 permalloy solenoid coil needs to produce a minimum inductance of 1.1 . If the maximum allowed current is 4 , how many tur
daser333 [38]

The related concept to solve this exercise is given in the expressions that the magnetic field has both as a function of the number of loops, current and length, as well as inductance and permeability. The first expression could be given as,

The magnetic field H is given as,

H = \frac{nI}{l}

Here,

n = Number of turns of the coil

I = Current that flows in the coil

l = Length of the coil

From the above equation, the number of turns of the coil is,

n = \frac{Hl}{I}

The magnetic field is again given by,

H = \frac{B}{\mu_t}

Where the minimum inductance produced by the solenoid coil is B.

We have to obtain n, that

n = \dfrac{\frac{B}{\mu_t}l}{I}

Replacing with our values we have that,

n = \dfrac{\frac{1.1Wb/m^2 }{200000}(2m)}{4mA}

n = \dfrac{(\frac{1.1Wb/m^2 }{200000})(\frac{10^4 guass}{1Wb/m^2})(2m)}{4mA(\frac{10^{-3}A}{1mA})}

n = 27.5 \approx 28

Therefore the number of turn required is 28Truns

after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height
solmaris [256]

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.
