A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

7 N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor.

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

A planet is 10 light years away from Earth. What speed would you need to go for a trip to the planet and back to take only 5 yea
viva [34]

Answer:

a. speed, v = 0.97 c

b. time, t' = 20.56 years

Given:

t' = 5 years

distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c

Solution:

(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'

Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:

L'' = L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}                           (1)

time taken = 5 years

We know that :

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

5 = \frac{L''}{v}                                                      (2)

Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):

\frac{L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

\frac{20'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:

v = 0.97 c

(b) Time observed from Earth:

Using time dilation:

t'' = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t'' = \frac{5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.97c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Solving the above eqn:

t'' = 20.56 years

A hot water heater is operated by using solar power. if the solar collector has an area of 5.3 m2 , and the power delivered by s
OLEGan [10]
Heat absorbed by the solar collector = Area*Irradiance = 5.3*995 = 5273.5 W

Heat Q in joules absorbed in t hours = Heat used to heat water. That is,

5273.5*t = mCΔT; where mass = volume*density = 1*1000 = 1000 kg

Therefore;
5273.5t = 1000*4186*(65-20) = 188370000
t = 188370000/5273.5 = 35720.11 seconds = 35720.11/(60*60) hours ≈ 9.92 hours.

It will take approximately 9.92 hours.
