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

xenn [34]

The missing part of the incomplete question is given below:

Which important step of scientific design is Shameka conducting?

repetition

replication

verification of results

using controlled variables

Answer:

Verification of results

Explanation:

The way toward gathering five examples of water from various sources is conveyed to confirm the outcome. By gathering water from five distinct areas of a similar source the analyst can genuinely find out the nature of the water in her region of remain.  

On the off chance that after examples are tried it is found the water isn't sound, the outcomes would be acknowledged as it has been appropriately checked and a  proper move would be made.

Thus, the correct answer is - verification of results

what is the acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity of 2.0 meters per second for 5 seconds?
nexus9112 [7]
Constant velocity means moving in a straight line at a speed that doesn't change. If the object is moving with constant velocity then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing.
