   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the full 15N is pointing parallel to the ground,
then

   15 N = (58 kg) x (acceleration).

Divide each side
by 58 kg: Acceleration = 15 N / 58 kg

   = (15 kg-m/s²) / (58 kg)

   = (15/58) (kg-m/kg-s²)

   = 0.26 m/s² .

Force = mass*acceleration
15 = 58 * x
x = 15 / 58
x = 0.26m/s²

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 22 kg kg crate and the floor is 0.27, what horizontal force is required to move

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: $m=22kg$

coefficient of friction: $\mu =0.27$

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is $g=9.81m/s^2$

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

Normal force $N$ (acting up from the object)

weight: $w=mg$ (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

$F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg$

from Newton's second Law we know that $F=ma$ , so:

$ma_{y}=N-mg$

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) $a_{y}=0$ , and:

$0=N-mg\\N=mg$

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

frictional force: $f= \mu N$ and since $N=mg$ --> $f=\mu mg$

force to move the object: $F$

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

$F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg$

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: $a_{x}=0$

and we get:

$0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg$

substituting known values:

$F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N$

A parallel plate capacitor creates a uniform electric field of and its plates are separated by . A proton is placed at rest next

zalisa [80]

Complete Question

A parallel plate capacitor creates a uniform electric field of 5 x 10^4 N/C and its plates are separated by 2 x 10^{-3}'m. A proton is placed at rest next to the positive plate and then released and moves toward the negative plate. When the proton arrives at the negative plate, what is its speed?

Answer:

$V=1.4*10^5m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Electric field $B=1.5*10N/C$

Distance $d=2 x 10^{-3}$

At negative plate

Generally the equation for Velocity is mathematically given by

$V^2=2as$

Therefore

$V^2=\frac{2*e_0E*d}{m}$

$V^2=\frac{2*1.6*10^{-19}(5*10^4)*2 * 10^{-3}}{1.67*10^{-28}}$

$V=\sqrt{19.2*10^9}$

$V=1.4*10^5m/s$
