The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    F_{1} = 20 N, F_{2} = 25 N, a = -0.9 m/s^{2}

             W = 83 N

         m = \frac{83}{9.81}

             = 8.46

Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.

       N = W + F_{2}

           = 83 + 25 = 108 N

Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.

       F_{1} - F_{r} = ma

        20 - F_{r} = 8.46 \times (-0.9)

             F_{r} = 7.614 N

Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.

             F_{r} = \mu \times N

          \mu = \frac{F_{r}}{N}

                    = \frac{7.614}{108}

                    = 0.0705

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.

Answer:

Explanation:

Weight of box, mg = 83 N

acceleration, a = - 0.9 m/s²

Horizontal component of force, Fx = 20 N

vertical component of force, Fy = - 25 N

Let f be the force of friction and μ is the coefficient of friction.

Let N be the normal reaction, by the equilibrium of forces along Y axis

N - fy = mg

N = mg + Fy

N = 83 + 25 = 108 N

Use Newton's second law

Fx - f = ma

20 - f = - 83 x 0.9 / 9.8

f = 27.6 N

f = μ N

27.6 = μ x 108

μ = 0.255

How does deformation by drawing of a semicrystalline polymer affect its tensile strength?
Elenna [48]
This effect is explained by increased chain entanglements at higher molecular weights. Increasing the degree of crystallinity of a semicrystalline polymer leads to an enhancement of the tensile strength. Deformation by drawing increases the tensile strength of a semicrystalline polymer.

Let’s say I am in a bumper car and have a velocity of 14 m/s, driving in the positive x-direction. I and my bumped car have a ma
AlekseyPX

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s
