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 bird has a mass of 0.8 kg and flies at a speed of 11.2 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the bird have?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass and the square of its velocity

KE = 1/2 (mv²)

KE = Kinetic Energy
m = mass in kg
v = velocity in m/s

Given:

m = .8 kg
v =  11.2 m/s

Substitute:

KE = 1/2 (.8)(11.2²)
KE = 50.18 J

A 35 kg box is pulled with a rope from above at an angle of 20. The box begins to move when F 200N. Calculate the frictional for
Otrada [13]

Answer:

b) 188 N

c) 275 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are four forces:

Applied force F at an angle θ

Weight mg pulling down

Normal force Fn pushing up

Friction force Ff pushing left

(b)

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos θ − Ff = 0

Ff = F cos θ

Ff = 200 cos 20°

Ff = 188 N

(c)

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin θ + Fn − mg = 0

Fn = mg − F sin θ

Fn = (35)(9.8) − 200 sin 20°

Fn = 275 N

Find the energy of one quantum of microwave radiation with frequency 4 GHz and with 500 GHz .
REY [17]

Answer:

1. 1.65*10^{-5} eV and 2.07*10^{-3}eV 2.2.10*10^{-7}m

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the so-called Planck-Einstein relation:

E=fh=\frac{ch}{\lambda}

where E is the energy, f the frequency, \lambda the wavelength, c the speed of light and h the planck constant

So, we have:

E=fh\\E=(4*10^9Hz)(4.136*10^{-15}eV*s)=1.65*10^{-5} eV\\

And:

E=fh\\E=(5*10^{11}Hz)(4.136*10^{-15}eV*s)=2.07*10^{-3} eV\\

2. The work function is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the material. Therefore the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will be the energy of the electromagnetic radiation minus the work function:

K=E-W

Where K is the kinetic energy and W the work function, for copper W=4.7eV

Rewriting for  \lambda:

E=K+W\\\frac{ch}{\lambda}=K+W\\\lambda=\frac{ch}{K+W}\\\lambda=\frac{(3*10^8m/s)4.136*10^{-15}eV}{1.2eV+4.7eV}=2.10*10^{-7}m

This wavelength corresponds to the ultraviolet range
