Answer:

Frictional force is 48N.

Explanation:

The box is moving at constant velocity so the acceleration of the box is zero. When a body moves with a constant velocity it has no acceleration and the net force on it zero. This is from Newtown's first law of motion.

Let the force you apply in pushing the box be F and the frictional force be Ff.

From Newtown's first law,

F – Ff = 0

F = Ff or Ff = F

In the question the force applied is 48N

Therefore,

Ff= F = 48N

This tells us that only an amount of force that balances the frictional force is needed to keep the box moving at constant velocity.

Answer:

The magnitude of the frictional force is 48.02 N

Explanation:

Mass of box = 20 kg

Weight of the box (Normal reaction) = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 20 ×9.8 = 196 N

Horizontal force applied = 48 N

Coefficient of friction = horizontal force ÷ normal reaction = 48 ÷ 196 = 0.245

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal reaction = 0.245 × 196 N = 48.02 N

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

In order for electrical current to flow through a solid, _____. the solid must have electrons the electrons in the solid must be
nydimaria [60]

Electrical current will flow through a solid by the means of electrons.  The electrons in the solid must be able to move from lower to higher electrical potential. The electric current in certain solid electrolytes like ice is entirely composed of flowing ions.

What are some of the useful properties of current electricity?
Elena-2011 [213]

By definition we have to:

The electric current is the flow of electric charge due to the movement (usually of electrons) that a material travels.

Some properties are:

1) Electric conduction: The conductive materials have a large amount of free electrons, therefore, the passage of electricity is possible.

2) The current inside a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. This is what is known as ohm's law:

I =\frac{V}{R}

3) The current can be continuous or alternate.

Alternating current is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

The direct current is the flow of electric charges that does not change direction with time.

An object islaunched at velocity of 20 m/s in a direction making an angle of 25 degree upward with the horizontal. what is the m
Aneli [31]

Answer:

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m

Explanation:

<u>Motion in The Plane</u>

When an object is launched in free air with some angle respect to the horizontal, it describes a known parabolic path, comes to a maximum height and finally drops back to the ground level at a certain distance from the launching place.

The movement is split into two components: the horizontal component with constant speed and the vertical component with variable speed, modified by the acceleration of gravity. If we are given the values of v_o and \theta\\ as the initial speed and angle, then we have

\displaystyle v_x=v_o\ cos\theta

\displaystyle v_y=v_o\ sin\theta-gt

\displaystyle x=v_o\ cos\theta\ t

\displaystyle y=v_o\ sin\theta\ t -\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we want to know the maximum height reached by the object, we find the value of t when v_y becomes zero, because the object stops going up and starts going down

\displaystyle v_y=o\Rightarrow v_o\ sin\theta =gt

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}

Then we replace that value into y, to find the maximum height

\displaystyle y_m=v_o\ sin\theta \ \frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}-\frac{g}{2}\left (\frac{v_o\ sin\theta }{g}\right )^2

Operating and simplifying

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{v_o^2\ sin^2\theta }{2g}

We have

\displaystyle v_o=20\ m/s,\ \theta=25^o

The maximum height is

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{(20)^2(sin25^o)^2}{2(9.8)}=\frac{71.44}{19.6}

\displaystyle y_m=3.65m
