A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and

the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.200. What is the friction force on the object if a horizontal 140 N push is applied to it?

Answer:

f=140\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the object on a horizontal surface, m=50\ kg
  • coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.3
  • coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2
  • horizontal force on the object, F=140\ N

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

F_s=\mu_s.N

where:

N= normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)

F_s=147\ N

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

f=140\ N

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

47628 kg/hr

Explanation:

Total area = 18*20 =360 ft^(2)

no .of snowflakes per minute = 1050*360 =378000

mass of snowflakes per minute = 378000*2.1*10^(-3) =793.8 kg/min

mass accumulated per hour = 793.8kg/min * 60min/hr =47628 kg/hr

A moving car has kinetic energy. If it speeds up until it is going four times faster than before, how much kinetic energy does i
Eva8 [605]
<h2>Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy , KE = 0.5mv²

Here car speeds up to four times the initial speed, we need to find ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy.

Final speed = 4 x Initial speed = 4v

Initial KE = 0.5mv²

Final KE = 0.5 x m x (4v)²

Final KE = 16 x 0.5 x m x v²

Final KE = 16 x Initial KE

Ratio of final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy is 16.

The length of the adult mosquito is typically between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The smallest known mosquitoes are around 2.5 mm, and th
FrozenT [24]

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

 The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

 

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

 19mm to inches;

     1mm = 0.039inches

  19mm = 19mm x \frac{0.039in}{1mm} = 0.74in
