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

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1.63 N

Explanation:

F = GMm/r^2

  = (6.67x10^-11)(10x10^5)(3x10^5) / 3.5^2

  = 1.63 N  ( 3 sig. fig.)

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

C. 14.93 m

Explanation:

The given frequency of the wave, f = 100 Hz

The given equation for the wave speed, <em>v</em>, is presented as follows;

v = f × λ

The speed of sound in water, v = 1,493 m/s

Therefore, we get;

The wavelength, λ = v/f

∴ λ = 1,493 m/s/(100 Hz) = 14.93 m

The wavelength, λ = 14.93 m.
