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

What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>
