A 100kg crate slides along a floor with a starting velocity of 21 m/s. If the force due to friction is 8N, then, it will take 262.5 s for the box to come to rest.
We'll begin by calculating the declaration of the box. This can be obtained as follow:
Force (F) = –8 N (opposition)
Mass (m) = 100 Kg
<h3>Deceleration (a) =? </h3><h3>F = ma</h3>–8 = 100 × a
Divide both side by 1000
Therefore, the deceleration of the box is –0.08 ms¯²
Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the box to come to rest. This can be obtained as follow:
Deceleration (a) = –0.08 ms¯²
Initial velocity (u) = 21 ms¯¹
Final velocity (v) = 0 ms¯¹
<h3>Time (t) =.? </h3><h3>v = u + at</h3>0 = 21 + (–0.08×t)
0 = 21 – 0.08t
Collect like terms
0 – 21 = –0.08t
–21 = –0.08t
Divide both side by –0.08
Therefore, it will take 262.5 s for the box to come to rest.
