A stockroom worker pushes a box with mass 11.2 kg on a horizontal surface with constant speed of 3.50m/s. The coefficient of kin

stellarik [79]

Answer:

3.125 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=m=11.2 kg

Speed of box=u=3.5m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction= $\mu_k=0.2$

Final velocity,v=0

a.We have to find the horizontal force applied by worker to maintain the motion.

According to question

Horizontal force=F= $f=\mu_kmg$

$g=9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

Horizontal force= $F=0.2\times 11.2\times 9.8=21.95 N$

b.According to work-energy theorem

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

$-\mu mg s=\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(0)^2-\frac{1}[2}(11.20)(3.5)^2$

$-\mu mg s=-\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(3.5)^2$

$0.2\times (11.2)\times 9.8\times s=\frac{1}{2}(11.2)(3.5)^2$

$s=\frac{11.2\times (3.5)^2}{2\times 0.2\times 11.2\times 9.8}$

$s=3.125 m$

Hence, the box slide before coming to rest=3.125 m

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen

marta [7]

Answer:

$24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

Explanation:

P = Pressure = $1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

$N_A$ = Avogadro's constant = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol$

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{N}{N_A}$

$\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

The number of atoms is $24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

A body is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring. Let’s consider when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion.

Klio2033 [76]

The velocity of the body is zero; option A

<h3>What is the motion of an oscillating body?</h3>

The motion of an oscillating body is known as simple harmonic motion.

Simple harmonic motion involves a periodical motion of a body whose acceleration is directed towards a fixed point.

For a body that is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring, considering when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion, the velocity of the body at the top and down is zero since the body comes to rest at the top and down position of its motion.

In conclusion, oscillating bodies undergo simple harmonic motion.
