1. A mass is on a level plane, it has a weight of 20N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction if an applied force

Physics
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence

F=Fr=\mu N where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.

F=\mu N and making [tex]\mu the subject

\mu=\frac {F}{N}

Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N

\mu=\frac {8}{20}=0.4

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4

A car with a mass of 2200 kg is travelling at a rate of 55 m's. What is the cars momentum? *
Varvara68 [4.7K]
  • Mass=2200kg
  • Velocity=55m/s

\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=Mass\times Velocity

\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=2200(55)

\\ \sf\bull\dashrightarrow Momentum=121000kgm/s

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

Suppose a 48-N sled is resting on packed snow. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10. If a person weighing 660 N sits on t
Annette [7]

Assume the snow is uniform, and horizontal.

Given:

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.10 = muK

weight of sled = 48 N

weight of rider = 660 N

normal force on of sled with rider = 48+660 N = 708 N = N

Force required to maintain a uniform speed

= coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force

= muK * N

= 0.10 * 708 N

=70.8 N


Note: it takes more than 70.8 N to start the sled in motion, because static friction is in general greater than kinetic friction.

A meteorologist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

563.86 N

Explanation:

We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.

F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m

So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F =  1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3

= 1691.58 N/3

= 563.86 N
