A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori

zontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 56 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the coefficient of static friction between crate and floor.

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set  in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus  

f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

N=mg

f_s=\mu mg

\mu mg=80

\mu =\frac{80}{27\times 9.8}

\mu =0.302

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.
