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

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5

If a puddle of water is frozen, do the particles in the ice have kinetic energy? Explain.
TEA [102]
They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though

Lilit [14]
Answer: buzzer.

The working principle of a buzzer is the conversion of electrical energy to sound energy.

The switch just cuts or permits the flow of current, the motor convertes electrical or other kind of energy into mechanical energy, a bulb converts electrical energy into light and a battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
