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

When touched by a plastic straw, the metal sphere will do what?
bearhunter [10]
I believe that if you touch a metal sphere with a plastic straw, the straw would not have enough strength to push it. So in that case, the metal sphere will not move and will stay in one place.

Ditto sound waves espace room answers please I need this urgently ​
lord [1]

The actual question should be did the sound waves escape room?

Yes they can escape the room

  • Sound always needs a medium to travel through
  • If you close the room form all where that even air can't go outside you will be able to hear no sound coming from room .

Alex pushes on a 2.0 kg book, resulting in a net force of 6.0 N on the book.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.0 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a  = \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{6}{2}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

How much heat is released as a 5.89 kg block of aluminum cools from 462 °C to 315 °C. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is
s2008m [1.1K]
Mass, m = 5890g
Change in temperature, θ = Final_temperature - Initial_temperature
= 315 - 462°C
= -147°C

Specific heat capacity of aluminum, c = 0.900 J/(g*K) 
=mcθ
=5890g x 0.900 J/(g*K) x -147°C
=-779,247j

Answer would be C.
