Kevin is refinishing his rusty wheelbarrow. He moves his sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time moving a

total distance of 0.15 m. Kevin pushes the sandpaper against the surface with a normal force of 1.8 N. The coefficient of friction for the metal/sandpaper interface is 0.92. How much work is done by the kinetic frictional force during the sanding process

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules

In the second 30 mins, the speed should be 20 + 1.5 = 21.5 km/h

So S = 21.5 * 30/60 = 10.75 km

How do conservation tillage practices lead to agricultural sustainability?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Conservation tillage practices help reduce soil erosion and maintain soil nutrient levels.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The approach that helps in the reduction of doing tillage practices and also reducing its frequency. this is done for obtaining certain benefits for both environment and economic. This mainly focuses on providing sustainability by leaving some plants remaining in the soil.

It aims in decreasing the emission of gases of greenhouse effects like carbon dioxide. Using these practices helps in reducing the erosion and runoffs. This will promote health of the soil because the nutrients are not take off form the soil due to soil erosion and runoffs.

Monica [59]

isotopes are the same element, but have different numbers of neutrons (but still have the same number of electrons and protons), hence have a different mass number.
