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

What two factors will make an object stable ​
galben [10]

The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. Racing cars have really low centres of gravity so that they can corner rapidly without turning over.

Increasing the area of the base will also increase the stability of an object, the bigger the area the more stable the object. Rugby players will stand with their feet well apart if they are standing and expect to be tackled.

Name arleady three types of energy associated with a microwave
Elena L [17]
I'm pretty sure what you are trying to ask for is radiative energy, light energy, and electronic energy
<span>Radiative since the microwave is releasing radiation </span>
<span>Light since there is light inside the microwave.</span>
Electronic since it is plugged in and uses electricity.
<span>You can also use sound, but I don't think every microwave makes sound. </span>

Describe how a drug administered intravenously is absorbed​
Digiron [165]

Answer:

La rapidez con que el fármaco es absorbido en el torrente sanguíneo depende, en parte, del suministro de sangre al músculo: cuanto menor sea el aporte de sangre, más tiempo necesitará el fármaco para ser absorbido.

Para la administración por vía intravenosa se inserta una aguja directamente en una vena

Scientific knowledge is both long lasting and open to change. In your own words, explain why scientific knowledge should be re-e
Nostrana [21]
Science is open to change because scientists agree that there are no absolute truths, only the best explanations for the data
there are specifically two cases when science can change: -new data is discovered (for example new skeleton makes us revise the known history of homo species)
-a new model is proposed that fits the data better (such as the heliocentric model of Copernicus)
