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.
= 20 N,
= 25 N, a = -0.9
W = 83 N
m =
= 8.46
Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.
N = W +
= 83 + 25 = 108 N
Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.
= ma
= 7.614 N
Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.
=
= 0.0705
Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.

Answer:
(a) The force, acting on object 'C' is approximately 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ Newtons
(b) The distance of 'C' from 'A', in the direction particle 'B' if there is no meters gravitational force acting on 'C' is appromimately 0.829 meters or 1.877 meters
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The mass of particle, A, m₁ = 2 kg
The mass of particle, B, m₂ = 0.3 kg
The mass of particle, C, m₃ = 0.05 kg
The distance between particle 'A' and particle 'B', r₁ = 0.15 m
The distance between particle 'B' and particle 'C', r₂ = 0.05 m
(a) The gravitational force, 'F', is given as follows;
Where;
F = The force between the two masses
G = The gravitation constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²
m₁ = The mass of object 1
m₂ = The mass of object 2
If 'C' is placed at 0.05 m from 'B', we have;
F₂₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 0.3/(0.05²) ≈ 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰
The gravitational force between force between particle 'B' and particle 'C', F₂₃ = 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the right)
F₁₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 2/(0.1²) ≈ × 10⁻¹⁰
The gravitational force between force between particle 'A' and particle 'B', F₁₃ = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the left)
The force, 'F', acting on object 'C' = F₁₃ - F₂₃
F = (6.6743 - 4.00458) × 10⁻¹⁰ = 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N
The force, acting on object 'C' ≈ 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N
(b), When there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', let the distance of 'C' from 'A' = x
We have;
F₂₃ = F₁₂
By plugging in the values and removing like terms, we get;
(1.15 - x)² × 2 × 0.05 = 0.3 × 0.05 × x²
0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 = 0.015·x²
0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 - 0.015·x² = 0
0.085·x² - 0.23·x + 0.13225= 0
x = (0.23± √((-0.23)² - 4 × 0.085 × ( 0.13225)))/(2 × 0.085))
x ≈ 0.829, or x ≈ 1.877
Therefore, the distance of 'C' from 'A', if there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', x ≈ 0.829 m, or x = 1.877 m, in the direction of 'B'
Answer:
Acceleration of the car will be
Explanation:
We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec
And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec
So distance traveled by car s = 400 m
Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec
We have to find the acceleration of the car
From second equation of motion we know that
So
So acceleration of the car will be
