1) The coefficient of static friction is 0.980

2) The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.908

Explanation:

1)

In the first situation, the box is still at rest. There are two forces acting on the box:

- The force of push, F, forward

- The force of static friction, $F_f$

Since the box is in equilibrium we have

$F_f = F$ (1)

The value of frictional force changes from zero to a maximum value which is given by:

$F_f = \mu_s mg$ (2)

where

$\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the box

g is the acceleration of gravity

So, if the force F needed to put the box in motion is 48 N, it means that this is also the maximum value of the force of friction. So, we can combine eq.(1) and (2) to find the coefficient of static friction:

$\mu_s = \frac{F}{mg}$

where:

F = 48 N

m = 5.0 kg

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substituting,

$\mu_s = \frac{48}{(5.0)(9.8)}=0.980$

2)

In this second situation, the object is already in motion, so the equation of motion is:

$F-F_f = ma$

where

F = 48 N is the force applied forward

$a = 0.70 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the box

$F_f = \mu_k mg$ is the force of kinetic friction, where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

We can therefore rearrange the equation to find the coefficient:

$F-\mu_k mg = ma\\\mu_k mg = F-ma\\\mu_k = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{48-(5.0)(0.70)}{(5.0)(9.8)}=0.908$

Which best describes the relationship between population size, carrying capacity, and limiting factors?

Alexandra [31]

When the sources is not enough for a population size that would limit population growth are limiting factors. And these limiting factors prevent the population size to increase. When it stops growing, the ecosystem reaches its carrying capacity. <span>Carrying capacity is the end of the line of a population size that the ecosystem can support over time.</span>

Water, initially saturated vapor at 4 bar, fills a closed, rigid container. The water is heated until its temperature is 360°C.

salantis [7]

Explanation:

Using table A-3, we will obtain the properties of saturated water as follows.

Hence, pressure is given as p = 4 bar.

$u_{1} = u_{g}$ = 2553.6 kJ/kg

$v_{1} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

At state 2, we will obtain the properties. In a closed rigid container, the specific volume will remain constant.

Also, the specific volume saturated vapor at state 1 and 2 becomes equal. So, $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$

According to the table A-4, properties of superheated water vapor will obtain the internal energy for state 2 at $v_{2} = v_{g} = 0.4625 m^{3}/kg$ and temperature $T_{2} = 360^{o}C$ so that it will fall in between range of pressure p = 5.0 bar and p = 7.0 bar.

Now, using interpolation we will find the internal energy as follows.

$u_{2} = u_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}} + (\frac{v_{2} - v_{\text{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}{v_{\text{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - v_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}}}})(u_{at 7 bar, 400^{o}C - u_{at 5 bar, 400^{o}C}})$

$u_{2} = 2963.2 + (\frac{0.4625 - 0.6173}{0.4397 - 0.6173})(2960.9 - 2963.2)$

= 2963.2 - 2.005

= 2961.195 kJ/kg

Now, we will calculate the heat transfer in the system by applying the equation of energy balance as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$ ......... (1)

Since, the container is rigid so work will be equal to zero and the effects of both kinetic energy and potential energy can be ignored.

$\Delta K.E = \Delta P.E$ = 0

Now, equation will be as follows.

Q - W = $\Delta U + \Delta K.E + \Delta P.E$

Q - 0 = $\Delta U + 0 + 0$

Q = $\Delta U$

Now, we will obtain the heat transfer per unit mass as follows.

$\frac{Q}{m} = \Delta u$

$\frac{Q}{m} = u_{2} - u_{1}$

= (2961.195 - 2553.6)

= 407.595 kJ/kg

Thus, we can conclude that the heat transfer is 407.595 kJ/kg.

A baby and stroller have a total mass of

klio [65]

We know that the formula for the centripetal force is:

F = m·v² / r

Solving for v we get:

v = √(F · r / m)
= √(36 N · 5.0 m / 20 kg)
= 3.0 m/s

The stroller moves at a speed of <span>3.0 m/s.</span>

Estimate the kinetic energy of the earth with respect to the sun as the sum of two terms.

nekit [7.7K]

The definition of kinetic energy allows to find the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

The kinetic energy ratio is $\frac{K_{Sum} }{K_{Earth}} = 5.3 \ 10^2$

<h3 /><h3 /><h3> Kinetic enrgy.</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the movement of bodies, it is given by the relation

K = ½ m v²

where K is the kinetic energy, m the mass of the body and v the velocity of the body.

In a compound motion it is common to separate energy into parts to simplify calculations.

Translational kinetic energy. Due to the linear movement of the body

$K_{tras} =\frac{1}{2} m v^2$

Rotational kinetic energy. Due to the rotational movement of the body.

$K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I w^2$

Where I is the inrtia momentum and w the angular velocity.

They indicate that we compare the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth.

The Earth has two movements, one of rotation about its axis with a period of T = 24 h and one of translation with respect to the Sun with a period of T= 365 days, therefore the kinetic energy of the Earth.

$K_{earth} = K_{tras} + K_{rot}$

Linear and rotational speed are related.

v = w r

The Earth is an almost spherical body therefore the moment of inertia of a solid sphere.

I = $\frac{2}{5 } m r^2$

Let's subatitute.

$K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} \ m r^2_{tras} w^2_{tras} + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{2}{5} m r^2_{earth}) w^2_{rot}$

The movement of the Earth around the sun is almost circular, therefore we can use the relations of the uniform circular movement, where the angle for one revolution is 2π radians and the time is called the period.

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

Let's substitute.

$K_{earth} = \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{2\pi r^2_{tras}}{T_{tras}})^2 \ + \frac{1}{5} m (\frac{2\pi r^2_{earth} }{T^2_{rot}})^2$

$K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 \ m \ ( \frac{1}{2} [ \frac{r_{tras}}{T_{tras}y} ]^2 + \frac{1}{5} [ \frac{r_{rot}}{T_{rot}}]^2)$

Data for Earth are tabulated:

Mass m = 5.98 1024 kg

Radius r = 6.37 10⁶ m

Radius orbits tras = 1.496 10¹¹ m

Rotation period $T_{rot}$ = 24 h ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 8.64 10⁴s

Translation period $T_{tras}$ = 365 d ( $\frac{24h}{1 d}$ ) ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 3.15 10⁷ s

Let's calculate.

$K_{earth} = 4 \pi^2 5.98 \ 10^{24} ( \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{1.496 \ 10^{11}}{3.15 \ 10^7 } )^2 \ + \frac{1}{5}( \frac{6.37 \ 10^6 }{8.64 \ 10^4})^2 )$

$K_{earth} = 2.36 \ 10^{26 } \ (1.128 \ 10^7 + 1.087 \ 10^3)$

$K_{earth}= 2.66 \ 10^{33} J$

Let's analyze the kinetic energy for the Sun, this is inside the solar system therefore it has no translation movement and is approximately a sphere with a rotation period of $T_{Sum}$ = 27 days.

The kinetic energy of the sun is;

$K_{sum} = K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I w^2$

$K_{sum} = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} M R^2) (\frac{2\pi}{T_{sum}})^2$

$K_{sum} = \frac{4\pi^2 }{5} M (\frac{R}{T_{rot}})^2$

The tabulated data for the sun are:

Mass m = 1,991 1030 kg.

Radius R = 6.96 10⁸ m

Period T = 27 d ( $\frac{24h}{1 d}$ ) ( $\frac{3600s}{1h}$ ) = 2.33 10⁶ s

Let's calculate.

$K_{sum} = 1.40 \ 10^{36} J$

The relationship of the kinetic energy of the sun and the Earth is:

$\frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} = \frac{1.40 \ 10^{36}}{2.66 \ 10^{33}}$

$\frac{K_{sum}}{K_{earth}} = 5.3 \ 10^2$

In conclusion using the definition of kinetic energy we can shorten the result for the relationship between the energy of the sun and the Earth is:

The kinetic energy ratio is: $\frac{K_{Sum}}{K_{Earth}} = 5 \ 10^2$
