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

Two basketballs of equal mass are rolling toward each other at constant velocities. The first basketball (B1) has a velocity of
slamgirl [31]

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Velocity of B₁ = 4.3m/s

Velocity of B₂ = -4.3m/s

For perfectly elastic collision:, momentum is conserved

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_1v'_1 + m_2v'_2

where,

m₁ = mass of Ball 1

m₂ = mass of Ball 2

v₁ = initial velocity of Ball 1

v₂ = initial velocity of ball 2

v'₁ = final velocity of ball 1

v'₂ = final velocity of ball 2

The final velocity of the balls after head on elastic collision would be

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} v_1 - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_2\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_1 + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} v_2

Substituting the velocities in the equation

v'_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) - \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)\\\\v'_1 = \frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3) + \frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2} (4.3)

If the masses of the ball is known then substitute the value in the above equation to get the final velocity of the ball.

Is an atom with one valence electron more reactive than an atom with two electrone? ​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion.Explanation:

Two brothers, Frank and Dion, are on roller skates and standing still when they push off from one another. Frank's mass is 103.4
tigry1 [53]
Around -3.5 ( might not be completely right ) Frank has a greater mass to he has a low velocity at first, Dion is around half of his weight so he doesn’t have to use as much force to get more than Frank

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.

Explanation:

I hope this helped you
