A force of 36.0 N is required to start a 3.0-kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor. Part A) What is the coefficient o

f static friction between the box and the floor? Express your answer using two significant figures. Part B) If the 36.0-N force continues, the box accelerates at 0.54 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

A) 1.2

B) 1.1

Explanation:

A)

F = force required to start the box moving = 36.0 N

m = mass of the box = 3 kg

$F_{g}$ = weight of the box = mg = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 N

$F_{n}$ = normal force acting on the box by the floor

normal force acting on the box by the floor is given as

$F_{n}$ = $F_{g}$ = 29.4

$F_{s}$ = Static frictional force = F = 36.0 N

$\mu _{s}$ = Coefficient of static friction

Static frictional force is given as

$F_{s}$ = $\mu _{s}$ $F_{n}$

36.0 = $\mu _{s}$ (29.4)

$\mu _{s}$ = 1.2

B)

a = acceleration of the box = 0.54 m/s²

F = force applied = 36.0 N

$f_{k}$ = kinetic frictional force

$\mu _{k}$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction

force equation for the motion of the box is given as

F - $f_{k}$ = ma

36.0 - $f_{k}$ = (3) (0.54)

$f_{k}$ = 34.38 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction is given as

$\mu _{k}=\frac{f_{k}}{F_{n}}$

$\mu _{k}=\frac{34.38}{29.4}$

$\mu _{k}$ = 1.1

As you take the stoppered part of the tube up the staircase you begin to see the water level drop around the 4th floor. As you c

Tom [10]

Answer:

a. The pressure in the tubing is equal to the barometric pressure.

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the if you take the stoppert part of the tube than the level of warer would be fall approx 4th floor and if it is continued than it wont be continue but remains constant.

Now here first we do that the tube i.e. connected to the bucket should be taken up. In the first instance, the bucket supplies the water to the tube but it would not increased far away to the level of the barometric pressure

Hence, the correct option is a.

Two charged particles are moving with equal velocities of 4.00 m/s in the +x-direction. At one instant of time the first particl

olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric force between two particles

= ( 9x10⁹x7.4 x 10⁻⁶ x 3.2 x 10⁻⁶ )/ (3.2 x 10⁻²)² ( Distance between particles is 1.6 +1.6 = 3.2 cm . )

= 20.81 x 10 = 208.1 N

1 ) Magnetic field due to movement of second charge

= $\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{qv}{r^2 }$

= 10⁻⁷ x 3.2 x 10⁻⁶ x 4 / (3.2 x 10⁻²)²

B = 1.25 x 10⁻⁹ T.

Due to this magnetic field , there is a force called magnetic force on first particle which will be expressed as follows

Force = Bqv

= 1.25 x 10⁻⁹ x 7.4 x 10⁻⁶ x 4

37 x 10⁻¹⁵ N

2 ) For magnetic force to be equal to electric force let velocity o particles be V

Then magnetic field due to second charge

= 10⁻⁷ x 3.2 x 10⁻⁶ x v / (3.2 x 10⁻²)²

= .3125 v x 10⁻⁹

Magnetic force on first charge

Bqv

= .3125 v x 10⁻⁹ x 7.4 x 10⁻⁶ x v

2.3125 x 10⁻¹⁵ v²

magnetic force = electric force

2.3125 x 10⁻¹⁵ v² = 208.1

v² = 90 x 10¹⁵

v² = 900 x 10¹⁴

v = 30 x 10⁷ m /s

What will happen if a positive object is brought close to a neutral object?

Elenna [48]

Similar to the results of a negatively charged rod, if a positively charged rod is brought near the knob of a neutral electroscope, it will attract some electrons up from the leaves onto the knob. ... This process allows a change in charge without actually touching the charged and uncharged objects to each other.

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

$V =\pi r^2 h$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048$

$V= 22.23\m^3$

$V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter$

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

$P=\dfrac{E}{V}$

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}$

$P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L$

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.
