V o - initial velocity
v = velocity at the maximum height,
v² = v o² - 2 g h
v = 0
0 = v o² - 2 g h
v o² = 2 g h = 2 · 9.80 · 0.460
v o² = 9.052
v o = √9.052 = 3.004197 m/s ≈ 3 m/s
Answer:
<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>
Explanation:
<u>Friction Force</u>
When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.
The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:
[1]
Where
is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.
If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:
N = W = m.g
The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:
W = 20*9.8
W = 196 N
The normal force is also N=196 N
We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for
:

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:


The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41
Explanation:
Distance covered by the particle is given by:
Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)
Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph
Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph
It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.
Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)
Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t
The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.



So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.
Work = force x distance
= 100N (force) x 0.5m (distance)
= 50J
