Two workers are sliding 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 400 N while the ot

Answer:

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

Explanation:

As a first step, we need to construct a free body diagram for the crate, which is included below as attachment. Let supposed that forces exerted on the crate by both workers are in the positive direction. According to the Newton's First Law, a body is unable to change its state of motion when it is at rest or moves uniformly (at constant velocity). In consequence, magnitud of friction force must be equal to the sum of the two external forces. The equations of equilibrium of the crate are:

$\Sigma F_{x} = P+T-\mu_{k}\cdot N = 0$ (Ec. 1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - W = 0$ (Ec. 2)

Where:

$P$ - Pushing force, measured in newtons.

$T$ - Tension, measured in newtons.

$\mu_{k}$ - Coefficient of kinetic friction, dimensionless.

$N$ - Normal force, measured in newtons.

$W$ - Weight of the crate, measured in newtons.

The system of equations is now reduced by algebraic means:

$P+T -\mu_{k}\cdot W = 0$

And we finally clear the coefficient of kinetic friction and apply the definition of weight:

$\mu_{k} =\frac{P+T}{m\cdot g}$

If we know that $P = 400\,N$ , $T = 290\,N$ , $m = 300\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\mu_{k} = \frac{400\,N+290\,N}{(300\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\mu_{k} = 0.235$

The kinetic coefficient of friction of the crate is 0.235.

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour relative to the water in going 10 miles upstream and then returning

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

$\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5$

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.
