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

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

162.8 K

Explanation:

initial current = io

final current, i = io/8

Let the potential difference is V.

coefficient of resistivity, α = 43 x 10^-3 /K

Let the resistance is R and the final resistance is Ro.

The resistance varies with temperature

R = Ro ( 1 + α ΔT)

V/i = V/io (1 + α ΔT )

8 = 1 + 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

7 = 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

ΔT = 162.8 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 162.8 K.

When sitting in the tree the cat has a total of 1375J in its Gravitational potential store. What is the maximum amount of energy
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1375J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential/potential energy of the at the top of the tree which is the energy by virtue of its position.

P.E = mgh

mass = m

Acceleration due to gravity = g

height = h

At the top of the tree, the value of h (height) is high resulting in the gravitational potential. When the cat lands on the ground, the value of h is zero, the the gravitational potential would be zero and all the potential energy have been converted to other forms of energy.

Therefore, the total gravitational potential store is equal to the maximum amount of energy that can be transferred which is equal to 1375J.
