Two workers are sliding 300 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 N while the ot

her pulls in the same direction with a force of 320 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor

Answer:

The crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.23.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 300 kg

One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 390 N while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 320 N using a rope connected to the crate.

The crate slides with a constant speed. It means that the net force acting on it is 0. Net force acting on it is given by :

F_1+F_2=\mu N\\\\\mu=\dfrac{F_1+F_2}{mg}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{390+320}{300\times 10}\\\\\mu=0.23

So, the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor is 0.23.

Question 27 a motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144km going upstream. the return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. what is th
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.

Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
                 (x - y)(3) = 144

Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
                (x + y)(2) = 144

The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
                  3x - 3y  = 144
                  2x + 2y = 144

We use either elimination or substitution.
 
We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
                   y =  -(144 - 3x)/3

Substitute this to the second equation,
            2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82
