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

A charged particle moving along the x-axis enters a uniform magnetic field pointing along the z-axis. Because of an electric fie
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge particle have charge equal to +q .

force due to electric field will be along the field that is along y - axis . To balance it force by magnetic force must be along   - y axis. ( negative of y axis )

force due to magnetic field = q ( v x B ) , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

F = q ( v i x B k )  , ( velocity is along x direction and magnetic field is along z axis. )

= (Bqv) - j  

= - Bqv j

The force will be along - ve y - direction .

If we take charge as negative or - q

force due to electric field will be along - y axis .

magnetic force = F = -q ( v i x B k )

= +  Bqv j

magnetic force will be along  + y axis

So it is difficult to find out the nature of charge on the  particle from this experiment.

A 1.00 x 104 W electric motor is used to lift a
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 52%

Explanation:

1W = 1 J/s

motor input is 10000 J/s

Potential energy change

PE = 955(9.81)(25.0) = 234,213.75

power needed to change the PE in that time

P = 234,213.75/ 45 = 5,204.75 Watts

motor is 5204.75 / 10000 = 0.520475 or 52% efficient
