Answer: 0.61

Explanation:

This is calculation based on friction.

Since the box rests on a flat surface, the force that exists between them is known as frictional force.

Since the friction is dynamic (velocity is not zero)

The frictional force = kinetic energy gained by the body.

Ff = 1/2mv^2

coefficient of kinetic friction × normal reaction = 1/2mv^2

Since normal reaction is equal to the weight(force acting along the vertical component)

Normal reaction= mg = 50 × 10 = 500N. Therefore,

coefficient of kinetic friction × 500 = 1/2×50×3.5^2

coefficient of kinetic friction = 50×3.5^2/1000

coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.61

8. You push downward on a box with a force of 750 N. The box is on a flat horizontal surface for which the coefficient of static
natima [27]

Answer:

The mass of the heaviest box you will be able to move with this applied force = 61.4 kg

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, the forces acting on the box include the weight of the box, applied force on the box, normal reaction of the surface on the box and the Frictional force in the opposite direction to the applied force.

For the box to be able to move, the applied force must have a horizontal component that at least matches the Frictional force between the box and the surface. This is the force balance in the horizontal direction.

Resolving the applied force into horizontal and vertical components,

Fₓ = 750 cos 25° = 679.73 N

Fᵧ = 750 sin 25° = 316.96 N

Doing a force balance in the vertical axis,

N = (mg + 316.96)

Frictional force = μN = μ (mg + 316.96)

μ = 0.74, g = 9.8 m/s²

Frictional force = Fᵧ

μ (mg + 316.96) = 679.73

0.74(9.8m + 316.96) = 679.73

7.252m + 234.5504 = 679.73

7.252m = 679.73 - 234.5504 = 445.1796

m = (445.1796/7.252)

m = 61.4 kg

Hope this Helps!!!

G Railroad tracks are made from segments L = 79 m long at T = 20° C. When the tracks are laid, the engineers leave gaps of width
Andreyy89

Answer:

l=L\alpha(T_c-T)

Explanation:

L = Initial length of segment = 79 m

T = Normal temperature = 20^{\circ}\text{C}

l = Width to be left for expansion

\alpha = Coefficient of linear expansion of the material = 12\times 10^{-6}^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}

T_c = Maximum temperature = 39.5^{\circ}\text{C}

\Delta T = Change in temperature = T_c-T

The expression of linear expansion is given by

l=L\alpha\DeltaT\\\Rightarrow l=L\alpha(T_c-T)

The expression for the minimum gap distance l the engineers must leave for a track rated at temperature T_c is l=L\alpha(T_c-T)
