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

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$t = 37.6 s$

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

$v_i = 75.1 km/h$

now we know that

$v_i = 20.86 m/s$

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

$v_f = 15 km/h$

$v_f = 4.17 m/s$

now we can use kinematics here

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)$

$a = -0.44 m/s^2$

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)$

$t = 37.6 s$

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Part a) $\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) $\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

Explanation:

Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s

we have that

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

so

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{33*3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}$

Remember that

$1\ min=60\ sec$

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

$\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{100}{3}(\frac{1}{60})=\frac{100}{180}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Simplify

$\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}$

Part b) what is it period, in seconds

we know that

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore

the frequency is

$\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}$

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. If she starts at rest, how far has she traveled in :

DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the toboggan, $a=1.8\ m/s^2$

Initial speed of the toboggan, u = 0

We need to find the distance covered by the toboggan. Using the second equation of motion as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

At t = 1 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 1^2$

$s_1=0.9\ m$

At t = 2 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 2^2$

$s_2=3.6\ m$

At t = 3 s

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.8\times 3^2$

$s_3=8.1\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
