The flatbed truck is traveling at the constant speed of 60 km/h up the 15‐percent grade when the 100‐kg crate which it carries i

s given a shove which imparts to it an initial relative velocity ˙ x = 3 m / s x˙=3 m/s toward the rear of the truck. If the crate slides a distance x = 2 m measured on the truck bed before coming to rest on the bed, compute the coefficient of kinetic friction μk between the crate and the truck bed.

Answer:

μ = 0.309

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction is defined as the ratio of two forces, friction force and the normal force acting on the object.

θ = arctan(15/100)= 8.531⁰

In the vertical direction:

N = mgcosθ = 100 *9.8 *cos(8.531) = 970N

law of conservation of energy implies

mgsinθ - μNx = 1/2m(v₂²-v₁²)

100*9.8*sin (8.531) - μ(970*2) = 1/2(100)(0²-3²)

150.6 - 1940μ = 450

- 1940μ = -600.6

μ = 0.309

Two large parallel metal plates carry opposite charges. They are separated by 0.20 m and the p.d. between them is 500 V. What is
Bezzdna [24]

Hi there!

We can use the following relationship between the Potential Difference and the Electric field:

V = E d

V = Potential Difference (500V)
E = Electric Field (V/m)
d = separation between plates (0.2 m)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the electric field:
E = \frac{V}{d}\\\\

Plug in the given values.

E = \frac{500}{0.2} = \boxed{2500 \frac{V}{m}}

Metamorphic rock occurs when you take any other type of rock and put them under ________ and ______________, and they twist and
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete because of the absence of options. However, metamorphic rocks are rocks that are formed from other pre-existing rocks under heat and pressure (both are usually high), causing them to twist and melt together. Metamorphism simply means a change in form of something and that's what happens here also.

I need help with this one ! <br><br>Explanation needed ~ ​
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Please find here some hints :

Rule. Newton’s second law, or fundamental principle of dynamics, mentions that a resultant force exerted on an object is always equal to the product of the mass of that object by its acceleration. ... Each force applied to an object causes this object to accelerate in the direction of the force applied.

Is acceleration a force?

The acceleration force, sometimes called the inertia force, is the vehicle’s resistance to speed variations. It holds you back when you increase your speed and pushes you back when you slow down.

a parent swings a 18.5 kg child in a circle of radius 1.05m, making 5 revolutions in 13.4s. what centripetal acceleration does t
Zolol [24]

Answer: 0.146 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The <u>centripetal acceleration</u> a_{c} of an object moving in a uniform circular path is given by the following equation:

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}  (1)

Where:

V is the tangential velocity

r=1.05 m is the radius of the circle

On the other hand, the tangential velocity  is expressed as:

V=\omega r (2)

Where \omega is the angular velocity, which can be found knowing the child makes 5 revolutions in 13.4s:

\omega=\frac{5 rev}{13.4 s}=0.37 rev/s (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

V=(0.37 rev/s)(1.05 m) (4)

V=0.39 m/s (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

a_{c}=\frac{(0.39 m/s)^{2}}{1.05 m}  (6)

Finally:

a_{c}=0.146 m/s^{2}
