A box moving on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 20 m/s slows to a stop over a time period of 5.0 seconds due so

lely to the effects of friction. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ground?

Answer:

μ= 0.408 : coefficient of kinetic friction

Explanation:

Kinematic equation for the box:

a=\frac{v_{f} -v_{i} }{t} Formula( 1)

a= acceleration

v_i= initial speed =0

v_f= final speed= 20 m/s

t= time= 5 s

We replace data in the formula (1):

a=\frac{0-20}{5}

a= -\frac{20}{5}

a= - 4m/s²

Box kinetics: We apply Newton's laws in x-y:

∑Fx=ma : second law of Newton

-Ff= ma Equation (1)

Ff is the friction force

Ff=μ*N Equation (2)

μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal force

Normal force calculation

∑Fy=0  : Newton's first law

N-W=0   W is the weight of the box

N=W= m*g  : m is the mass of the box and g is the acceleration due to gravity

N=9.8*m

We replace N=9.8m in the equation (2)

Ff=μ*9.8*m

Coefficient of kinetic friction ( μ) calculation

We replace Ff=μ*9.8*m and a= -4m/s² in the equation (1):

-μ*9.8*m: -m*4 : We divide by -m on both sides of the equation

9.8*μ=4

μ=4 ÷ 9.8

μ= 0.408

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

T=346.5N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density \rho=  (1.44 * 10^{-2} kg/m)

FrequencyF=93.0Hz

Lengthl=0.834m

Generally the equation for Frequency is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{2 l}sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

Therefore

T=\rho(2 lF)^2

T= (1.44 * 10^{-2}*(2*0.834)(93.0))^2

T=346.5N

Two large aluminum plates are separated by a distance of 2.0 cm and are held at a potential difference of 170 V. An electron ent
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates

V / d

= 170 / ( 2 x 10⁻² )

= 8500 N/C

Force on electron in this field

= 8500 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ N

Acceleration

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

a = 1494.5 x 10¹² m /s²

s = .1 x 10⁻² m

v² = u² + 2as

=  (2.9x 10⁵)²+ 2 x 1494.5 x 10¹² x .1 x 10⁻²

= 8.41 x 10¹⁰ + 299 x 10¹⁰

= (8.41 + 299 ) x 10¹⁰

v = 17.53  x 10⁵ m /s

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50 Celsius. How much thermal energy will it lose when it’s temperature is redu
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of aluminium block, m = 1.0 kg

The initial temperature of block, T = 50° C

The final temperature of the block, T' = 25° C

The change in temperature, ΔT = 50° C - 25° C

                                                     = 25° C

The specific heat capacity of aluminium, c = 900  J/kg°C

The formula for thermal energy,

                             <em>Q = mcΔT</em>

                                 = 1.0 x 900 x 25

                                 = 22500 J

Hence, the lose of thermal energy is, Q = 22500 J
