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

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.

A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.

The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.

Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.

To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.

W = m*g

W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]

W = 12.75 [N]

A circular loop of wire with radius r=0.0250 m and resistance r=0.390 ohms is in a region of spatially uniform magnetic field. t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0133 A

Explanation:

The time at which B=1.33 T is given by  

1.33 = 0.38*t^3  

t = (1.33/0.38)^(1/3) = 1.52 s  

Using Faraday's Law, we have  

emf = - dΦ/dt = - A dB/dt = - A d/dt ( 0.380 t^3 )  

Area A = pi * r² = 3.141 *(0.025 *0.025) = 0.00196 m²

emf = - A*(3*0.38)*t^2  

thus, the emf at t=1.52 s is  

emf = - 0.00196*(3*0.38)*(1.52)^2 = -0.0052 V  

if the resistance is 0.390 ohms, then the current is given by  

I = V/R = 0.0052/0.390 = 0.0133 A
