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

A fluid flows through a pipe whose cross-sectional area changes from 2.00 m2 to 0.50 m2 . If the fluid’s speed in the wide part
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)= 14 m/s

Explanation:

Flow rate of the fluid

Flow rate is the amount of fluid that circulates through a section of the pipeline (pipe, pipeline, river, canal, ...) per unit of time.

The formula for calculated the flow rate is:

Q= v*A Formula (1)

Where :

Q is the Flow rate (m³/s)

A is the cross sectional area of a section of the pipe (m²)

v is the speed of the fluid in that section (m/s)

Equation of continuity

The volume flow rate Q for an incompressible fluid at any point along a pipe is the same as the volume flow rate at any other point along a pipe:

Q₁= Q₂

Data

A₁ = 2m² : cross sectional area 1

v₁ = 3.5 m/s : fluid speed through A₁

A₂ = 0.5 m² : cross sectional area 2

Calculation of the fluid speed through A₂

We aply the equation of continuity:

Q₁= Q₂

We aply the equation of Formula (1):

v₁*A₁= v₂*A₂

We replace data

(3.5)*(2)= v₂*(0.5)

7 = v₂*(0.5)

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)

v₂ =  14 m/s

A tall tree has more chances to break during the strom why?​
S_A_V [24]

Explanation:

Trees, because of their height, are natural lightning rods. Electricity seeks the path of least resistance, and the moisture inside a tree is a much better conductor than air. This means a tree provides the preferred path for lightning to reach the ground.

With an initial velocity of 20km per hour a car accelerated at 8m/s2 for 10s,what is the position of the car at the end of 10s
Dima020 [189]
  • initial velocity=u=20km/h=5.5m/s
  • Acceleration=a=8m/s^2
  • Time=t=10s

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=5.5(10)+\dfrac{1}{2}(8)(5.5)^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(5.5)^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(30.25)

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+121

\\ \sf\longmapsto s=176m
