A(n) 930 N crate is being pushed across a level floor by a force of 400 N at an angle of 20◦ above the horizontal. The coefficie

nt of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.20. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box? Answer in units of m/s 2

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the crate is included as attachment, whose equations of equilibrium are described below:

\Sigma F_{x} = P\cdot \cos 20^{\circ} - \mu_{k}\cdot N = \left(\frac{W}{g}\right)\cdot a

\Sigma F_{y} = P\cdot \sin 20^{\circ} + N - W = 0

From second equation of equilibrium we find an expression for the normal force and find the respective value:

N = W - P \cdot \sin 20^{\circ}

N = 930\,N - 400\cdot \sin 20^{\circ}\,N

N = 793.192\,N

Lastly, the acceleration experimented by the crate during pushing is cleared in the first equation of equilibrium and consequently calculated:

a = \frac{P\cdot \cos 20^{\circ}-\mu_{k}\cdot N}{\frac{W}{g} }

a = \frac{400\cdot \cos 20^{\circ}\,N-0.20\cdot (793.192\,N)}{\frac{930\,N}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }

a = 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

What is the difference between the formation of an ionic bond and formation of a covalent bond?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Answer to the question:

Explanation:

Differences between ionic bond and covalent bond:

The ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic).

In the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

Ionic bonds have a high melting and boiling point, while covalent bonds usually have a low point.

Does the KE of a car change more when it accelerates from 22 km/h to 32 km/h or when it accelerates from 32 km/h to 42 km/h
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.

Explanation:

Let the mass of the car = m

initial velocity of the first case, u = 22 km/h = 6.11 m/s

final velocity of the first case, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

                                          ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(8.89² - 6.11²)

                                                    = 20.85m J

 

initial velocity of the second case, u = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s

final velocity of the second case, v = 42 km/h = 11.67 m/s

change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

                                          ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(11.67² - 8.89²)

                                                    = 28.58m J

The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.
