Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, $a=3\ m/s^2$

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}$

$m=15.3\ kg$

Frictional force is given by :

$F=ma$

$F=15.3\times 3$

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If frequency is kept constant, how are the velocity and wavelength of a wave related?

Elan Coil [88]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Velocity and wavelength are directly proportional when frequency is kept constant.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations made by a given wave in one second. </u></em>
<em><u>Wavelength on the other hand, is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or two successful rarefactions or compressions in a longitudinal waves.</u></em>
<em><u>The speed of a wave is given by the product of the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.</u></em>
<em><u>Speed = Frequency × wavelength, </u></em>
<em><u>Therefore, if frequency is kept constant, then the speed of a wave is directly proportional to the wavelength, such that an increase in wavelength increases the speed of the wave and vice versa.</u></em>

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Because of the frictional force, the net force will oppose direction of the block and be directed towards the left even tho the spring exerts no force at this point

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$
