An ant crawls along a sidewalk with a velocity of 0.1 m/s in a direction that is 45° relative to edge of the sidewalk. If it has

Marat540 [252]

Answer:14 s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of ant is 0.1 m/s in a direction $45^{\circ}$

if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk

i.e. from diagram

$\sin 45=\frac{1}{L}$

$L=\sqrt{2}$

$time=\frac{Distance}{speed}$

$t=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0.1}$

$t=14.14 s$

A block with mass m is pulled horizontally with a force F_pull leading to an acceleration a along a rough, flat surface.

Simora [160]

Answer:

$\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}$

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction on the block is defined as:

$F_k=\mu_kN$

Where $\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface and N is the normal force, which is always perpendicular to the surface that the object contacts. So, according to the free body diagram of the block, we have:

$N=mg\\F_k=F=ma$

Replacing this in the first equation and solving for $\mu_k$ :

$ma=\mu_k(mg)\\\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}$
