tally on it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.26.
a. What magnitude of force must the worker apply?
b. How much work is done on the crate by this force?
c. How much work is done on the crate by friction?
d. How much work is done on the crate by the normal force? By gravity?

Answer:

a. 79.1 N

b. 344 J

c. 344 J

d. 0 J

e. 0 J

Explanation:

a. Since the crate has a constant velocity, its net force must be 0 according to Newton's 1st law. The push force F_p by the worker must be equal to the friction force F_f on the crate, which is the product of friction coefficient μ and normal force N:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

F_p = F_f = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.26 * 31 * 9.81 = 79.1 N

b. The work is done on the crate by this force is the product of its force F_p and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_p = F_ps = 79.1*4.35 = 344 J

c. The work is done on the crate by friction force is also the product of friction force and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_f = F_fs = -79.1*4.35 = -344 J

This work is negative because the friction vector is in the opposite direction with the distance vector

d. As both the normal force and gravity are perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by those forces is 0. In other words, these forces do not make any work.

e. The total work done on the crate would be sum of the work done by the pushing force and the work done by friction

W_p + W_f = 344 - 344 = 0 J

Answer:

Iris

Explanation:

The iris seems to be the illuminated portion of the eyes which really covers the pupil. It controls the amount of light reaching the eye. The lens is indeed a translucent layer of the retina that serves to concentrate light and objects on the lens.

Which two minerals are commercial sources of iron. explain why the answer is a?
vichka [17]

Answer:

Hematite and magnetite

Explanation:

Minerals such as Iron don’t occur alone due to its interaction with other elements. The Iron’s major source is usually through ores such as Hematite, Magnetite, limonite etc.

However Pure magnetite contains 72.4 percent iron and pure hematite contains 69.9 percent. They have the highest percentage of iron thereby making them the main sources.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

m = 15 kg

Explanation:

p = m × v

90 = m × 6

6m = 90

m = 90/6

m = 15 kg
