A stockroom worker pushes a box with mass 16.8 kg on a horizontal surface with a constant speed of 3.50 m/s. The coefficient of

kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.20. (a) What horizontal force must the worker apply to maintain the motion? (b) If the force calculated in part (a) is removed, how far does the box slide before coming to rest?

Answer:

a) fr =\mu N= 0.2*164.64 N= 32.928 N

And we need a force F> 32.928 N[tex]b) [tex] d = \frac{-v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{-(3.5m/s)^2}{-2*1.96 m/s^2}= 3.13m

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following forces illustrated on the figure attached.

If we analyze on the x axis we just have two forces, fr the friction force and F the force to mantain the movement.

So we need this condition to satisfy the movement:

F > fr

If we analyze the forces on the y axis we have this:

\sum Fy= ma_y = 0

Because we have constant speed for this reason the acceleration is 0

N -W = 0

N = mg = 16.8Kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 164.64 N

And by definition the friction force is defined as: fr = \mu N

So then the friction force would be:

fr =\mu N= 0.2*164.64 N= 32.928 N

And we need a force F> 32.928 N

Part b

For this case we assume that F =0 and we have a friction force of 32.928 N.

From the second law of Newton we have:

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{m}= -\frac{fr}{m}= -\frac{32.928 N}{16.8 Kg}= -1.96m/s^2

vf =0 (final velocity, rest at the end) and vi = 3.5 m/s.

And we can find the time for the motion like this:

vf = v_i + at

t = \frac{-v_i}{a}= \frac{-3.5 m/s}{-1.96 m/s^2}= 1.78 s

And then we can find the distance from the following formula:

v^2_f= v^2_i + 2a d

d = \frac{-v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{-(3.5m/s)^2}{-2*1.96 m/s^2}= 3.13m

vazorg [7]

Answer:879.29 N-m

Explanation:

Given

mass of first child m_1=44 kg

distance of first child from tree is r_1=1 m

tree is inclined at an angle of \theta =27^{\circ}

mass of second child m_1=27 kg

distance of second child from tree is r_2=2.1 m

Weight of first child=m_1g=431.2 kg

Weight of second child=m_2g=264.6 kg

Torque of first child weight=m_1g\cos \theta \cdot r_1

T_1=44\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 1=384.202 N-m

Torque of second child weight=m_2g\cos \theta \cdot r_2

T_2=27\times 9.8\times \cos 27\times 2.1=495.096 N-m

Net torque T_{net}=T_1+T_2=384.202+495.096=879.29 N-m

What quantity do units represent in a value?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer : Magnitude

Explanation :

In a value, the magnitude is represented by its units. It can be adopted by convention or by law.

Magnitude of any unit is used to measure the same kind of quantity.

For example: The unit of length which is a physical quantity is meter (m).

So, magnitude is correct answer.

Write down two advantages of parallel combination ​
Simora [160]

Answer:

In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage.

If one appliance is switched on/of others are not affected.

The parallel circuit divide the current through the appliances.

In a parallel combination it is very easy to connect or disconnect a new appliance without affecting the working of other appliances.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves

A wave has a speed of 30 m/s, a frequency of 6 Hz, and a wavelength of 5 m. If the wavelength remains constant, and the frequenc
mixer [17]

Answer: 60m/s

Explanation:

The wavespeed is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V

Wavespeed (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

i.e V = F λ

In the first case:

Wavespeed = 30 m/s

Frequency of sound = 6Hz

Wavelength = 5m

In the second case:

Wavespeed = ?

Frequency of sound = (2x 6Hz = 12Hz)

Wavelength = 5m (remains constant)

Apply V = F λ

Wavespeed = 12 Hz x 5m

Wavespeed = 60m/s

Therefore, when frequency is doubled, the speed is also doubled. Thus, the new speed of the wave is 60m/s
