75.25 m is the least distance in which the truck can stop and ensure that the box does not slide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Friction force can withstand the relative movement of hard surfaces, layers of fluids, and material element that slide relative to each other. Dry friction is one type that counteracts the relative lateral movement of two hard surfaces in contact. The equation is given by

                f=\mu\ N --------> eq 1

Where,

f = friction force  

μ = coefficient of friction  

 N = normal force  

Given data:

The coefficient of friction μ  =  0.35

The speed of the truck,  u  =  81.8  k m / h r

after converting it into S.I. unit, u = \frac{81.8 \times 10^{3}}{3600} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} = 22.72 m/s

According to newtons second law of motion, the force applied to the truck is,

                  F = m a -----> eq 2

Where,

m = mass

a = acceleration due to gravity

The force balance equation for limiting condition is,

                              F = f

                          m a = μ N

Substitute N = m g, we get

          m \times a=\mu \times m \times g

         a=\mu \times g

The third law of motion is,

        v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a s

Here, the final velocity is  v .  Hence, the final velocity is zero so  v  =  0 .

By substituting the known values in the above equation, we get

   0^{2}=u^{2}+2(\mu \times g) s

   0^{2}=(22.72)^{2}+(2 \times 0.35 \times(-9.8) \times s)

   6.86 \times s = 516.198

   s=\frac{516.198}{6.86}=75.25\ \mathrm{m}

Assume a rectangular strip of a material with an electron density of n=5.8x1020 cm-3. The strip is 8 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick an
vampirchik [111]

Answer: I = 111.69 pA

Explanation: The hall effect is all about the fact that when a semiconductor is placed perpendicularly to a magnetic field, a voltage is generated which could be measured at right angle to the current path. This voltage is known as the hall voltage.

The hall voltage of a semiconductor sensor is given below as

V = I×B/qnd

Where V = hall voltage = 1.5mV =1.5/1000=0.0015V

I = current =?,

n= concentration of charge (electron density) = 5.8×10^20cm^-3 = 5.8×10^20/(100)³ = 5.8×10^14 m^-3

q = magnitude of an electronic charge=1.609×10^-19c

B = strength of magnetic field = 5T

d = thickness of sensor = 0.8mm = 0.0008m

By slotting in the parameters, we have that

0.0015 = I × 5/5.8×10^14 × 1.609×10^-19×0.0008

0.0015 = I×5/7.446×10^-8

I = (0.0015 × 7.446×10^-8)/5

I = 111.69*10^(-12)

I = 111.69 pA

a current of 180 mini amphere passes through a conductor for 5minute calculate the quantity of electricity transported​
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can calculate the total electric charge that passes through the conductor as q=It=(180\times 10^{-3})(5\times 60)= 54 C. It means that the number of electron that passes through the conductor is:

n=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{54}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=33.75\times 10^{19}
