We push a 38.4-kg box across the floor at constant velocity. If we are pushing a horizontal force of 238 N, find the coefficient

of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).

Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R

Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10

W= 384N =R

Normal reaction = 384N

The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N

Coefficient of friction = Fm/R

Coefficient of friction = 238/384

Coefficient of friction = 0.62

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62

If you are under a tree, they kind of act like lightning rods, so stay away from trees, so roll in dat grass. Fun Fact: Lightning comes from the ground more than it comes from the sky, its like when you rub a blanket on your head, some lil' lightnings come from your head while a little come from the blanket, its the same with grass and clouds only, 10000 volts stronger and deadly.

If you put a total of 8.05×106×106 electrons on an intially electrically neutral wire of length 1.03 m, what is the magnitude of
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field is 0.1108 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

number of electrons, e = 8.05 x 10⁶

length of the wire, L = 1.03 m

distance of the field from the center of the wire, r = 0.201 m

Charge of the electron;

Q = (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C/e) x (8.05 x 10⁶ e)

Q = 1.2896 x 10⁻¹² C

Linear charge density;

λ = Q / L

λ = (1.2896 x 10⁻¹² C) / (1.03 m)

λ = 1.252 x 10⁻¹² C/m

The magnitude of electric field at r = 0.201 m;

E = (\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} )\frac{ 2 \lambda}{r} \\\\E = k \frac{ 2 \lambda}{r}\\\\E = (8.89*10^9)*\frac{2*1.252*10^{-12}}{0.201}  \\\\E = 0.1108 \ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 0.1108 N/C
