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

A spinning disc rotating at 130 rev/min slows and stops 31 s later. how many revolutions did the disc make during this time?
gayaneshka [121]
F = 130 revs/min = 130/60 revs/s = 13/6 revs/s
t = 31s
wi = 2πf = 2π × 13/6 = 13π/3 rads/s
wf = 0 rads/s = wi + at
a = -wi/t = -13π/3 × 1/31 = -13π/93 rads/s²
wf² - wi² = 2a∅
-169π²/9 rads²/s² = 2 × -13π/93 rads/s² × ∅
∅ = 1209π/18 rads
n = ∅/2π = (1209π/18)/(2π) = 1209/36 ≈ 33.5833 revolutions.

How much heat is lost by 2.0 grams of water if the temperature drops from 31 °C to 29 °C? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/
Elanso [62]

Given :

Mass of water, m = 2 grams.

The temperature of water drops from 31 °C to 29 °C .

The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/(g • °C).

To Find :

Amount of heat lost in this process.

Solution :

We know, heat lost is given by :

Heat\ lost,H = ms( T_f - T_i)\\\\H = 2\times 4.184 \times ( 31 - 29 )\ J\\\\H = 16.736\ J

Therefore, amount of heat lost in this process is 16.736 J.

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>

What is specific gravity​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

Explanation:

<em>Specific gravity is also known as relative density.</em>

<u>To find the relative density of substance, you:</u>

  • Divide the density of substance measured
  • And divide that by the density of the reference
