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

Solve 3* +5-220t = 0​
slega [8]

Answer:

t = 27.5

Explanation:

3 + 5 -220t = 0

Well to solve for t we need to combine like terms and seperate t.

So 3+5= 8

8 - 220t = 0

We do +220 to both sides

8 = 220t

And now we divide 220 by 8 which is 27.5

Hence, t = 27.5

If 30ml of a fluid has a mass of 63g what is it’s density
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.1 g/ml

Explanation:

Data

volume = 30 ml

mass = 63 g

density = ?

Process

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. The units of density are g/ml or kg/m³.

Formula

Density = mass / volume

Substitution

Density = 63 / 30

Result

Density = 2.1 g/ml

A soccer ball with a mass of 0.434 kg approaches a player horizontally with a speed of 13.0 m/s. The player kicks the ball with
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) 15.49

b) Opposite to the ball's initial velocity

c) 258.16N

Explanation:

a)

\Delta p=m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (0.434)(13.0-(-22.7)) \\\\\Delta p=(0.434)(35.7)\approx 15.49 kg \cdot m/s

b)

Since the player is kicking the ball in the opposite direction to which it came, the impulse is being directed opposite to the ball's initial velocity.

c)

\Delta p= F \Delta t \\\\\\F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \\\\\\F=\dfrac{15.49 kg \cdot m/s}{0.06 s}\approx 258.16N

Hope this helps!

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. What is the BEST explanation of the
MrRissso [65]

The answer is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sun radiates UV energy in a wide range of wavelength, which are invisible to human eyes. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation, and the greater the potential for harm.

The relationship between wavelength and wave energy is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

It has a frequency ranges from 8 × 10^14 to 3 × 10^16 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz), and wavelengths id about 380 nanometers to about 10 nm.
