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

Which compound is most likely a powerful and dangerous acid? H2S HBr Li2O LiBR
sattari [20]

HBr is the most powerful and dangerous acid .

Explanation:

A strong acid is one that instantly disunites or grants its protons in suspension. HBr is a strong acid. HBr is powerful than HCl or HF because the overlapping of a 1s-orbital and a 4p-orbital is surprisingly small, thus the binding is weak so splitting is very easy..

What are 2 ways electromagnets are used
lisabon 2012 [21]
Electromagnets are used for various purposes but I fathom in this instance, the questioner is asking about how electromagnetics can be used to attraction or repulsion.
Example, electromagnets are used for attraction in cranes which attach them to containers in order to lift them.
Meanwhile, Maglev trains use electromagnets repulsive properties.
