A large box has a mass of 500kg and the coefficient of static friction for the box and the floor is 0.45, and the coefficient of

kinetic friction is 0.30.
a. What is the minimum horizontal force needed to get the box moving?
b. If you continue to push with that force, what will the acceleration of the box be?
Please help asap. Thank you.

A) The friction force while the box is stationary is (the coefficient of static friction)*(the normal force). In this case, the normal force is equal to the gravitational force, or the weight. To move the box, we need a minimum horizontal force that is equal to the friction force. The weight is (500 kg)*(9.81 m/s^2)= 4905 N. So, (0.45)*(4905 N) = 2207.25 N.

b) The acceleration will be the horizontal force - the kinetic friction force (since they act in opposite directions) divided by the mass. Kinetic friction force = (coefficient of kinetic friction)*(normal force or weight). 

F(net) = (2207.25 N)-(0.30)(4905 N) = 735.75 N

a = (735.75 N)/(500kg)= 1.4715 m/s^2

What is a charge? how objects can be charged? short answer pls​
nevsk [136]

Answer:

An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.

What magnification will be produced by a lens of power –4.00 D (such as might be used to correct myopia) if an object is held 43
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The magnification is m  = 0.3674

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  power of the lens is  P = -4.00 D(dioptre)

Generally  1 dioptre = 1 \ meter

  The object distance is u =  -43 \ cm the negative sign is because the distance is measured in the opposite direction of incident light (i.e away )

 Generally the focal length is mathematically represented as

          f = \frac{1}{P}  

   =>f = \frac{1}{4.00 }  

  =>  f = 0.25 \ m

converting to  cm  

 =>   f = 0.25 \ m = 0.25 * 100 = 25 \ cm

Generally from lens equation  we have that  

     \frac{1}{f} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u}

=>  \frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{-43}

=>   v =  -15.8 \ cm

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

      m  = \frac{v}{u}

=>    m  = \frac{- 15.8}{-43}

=>    m  = 0.3674

You can use the impulse momentum theorem and just subtract the two momenta.
P1 - P2 = (16-1.2)(11.5e4)=1702000Ns
If you first worked out the force and integrated it over time the result is the same

marta [7]

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1
