Answer:
-4.0 N
Explanation:
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
(1)
We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be
And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:
where
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity
t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop
Substituting, we find
(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)
Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:
Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.
Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.
v=Δx/t
<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
