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}}.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The Michelson-Morley was designed to detect the motion of the earth through the ether.

No such relation was found and the speed of light is assumed to be the same in all reference frames.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )
