While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b

etween the box and the floor is 0.43. The pushing force is directed downward at an angle θ below the horizontal. When θ is greater than a certain value, it is not possible to move the box, no matter how large the pushing force is. Find that value of θ.

Answer:

\theta = 66.7 degree

Explanation:

since force is applied downwards at some angle with the horizontal

so here we will have

F_n = mg + Fsin\theta

now we know that the box will not move if applied force is balanced by frictional force on it

so we will have

Fcos\theta = \mu F_n

F cos\theta = \mu (mg + F sin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = \mu mg

F = \frac{\mu mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

so here we can say

cos\theta - \mu sin\theta > 0

tan\theta = \frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{0.43})

\theta = 66.7 degree

3. Imagine a 10kg block moving with a speed of 20m/s<br> calculate the kinetic energy of this block
MatroZZZ [7]
The formula of the kinetic energy is:
E_{k}  =  \frac{m v^{2} }{2}
where m is a mass of the object, v is speed of the object at the moment of time. So we have:
E_{k}  =  \frac{10* 20^{2} }{2}  = 2000J
The answer is 2000 Joules.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

With a tape measure.

Explanation:

We can use a big tape measure, this tape is in the market and we can use the one with the proper length that lets us measure different sections of the total length of the pool.
