A factory worker pushes a 31.0 kg crate a distance of 4.20 m along a level floor by pushing downward at an angle of 32.0 ∘ below

the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.260.
Now assume that, instead of the previous situation, the worker pushes harder (without changing the direction of his push), so that the crate moves with increasing speed. Assume the crate is pushed over the same displacement as before.

How much work is done on the crate by the force of friction during the displacement of 4.20 m when the pushing force is 118.00 N?

Answer:

W_{fr} = 281.539\,J

Explanation:

The kinetic force of friction is:

f = (0.260)\cdot (31\,kg) \cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot \cos 32^{\textdegree}

f = 67.033\,N

Before calculating work, it is require to determine if force exerted on the crate is enough to move it at least. The equation of equilibrium for the crate is:

\Sigma F = F - f + m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m \cdot a

The acceleration experimented by the crate is:

a = \frac{F-f}{m} + g\cdot \sin \theta

a = \frac{118\,N-67.033\,N}{31\,kg}+(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )\cdot \sin 32^{\textdegree}

a = 6.841\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

This positive result indicates that motion is physically reasonable. Hence, the work done by the force of friction is:

W_{fr} = (67.033\,N)\cdot (4.20\,m)

W_{fr} = 281.539\,J

How many electrons will a single atom of sulfur with no charge and no bonds have in its valence shell?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

There are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

Explanation:

Sulphur is a non-mettalic element which is in the period 3 and group .6on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 16 and a Mass number of 32. Atomic number tells you the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom. It has the electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The orbitals have a formula 2n^2 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.

In the shells, n = 1 so there are 2 electrons. For n = 2, 2*(2)^2 = 8 electrons. So, 16 - (8 + 2) = 6 electrons in the 3 shell (outermost shell)

Therefore from the electronic confriguration above, there are 6 electrons in the outermost shell.

Why does the number of dwarf planets recognized by astronomers in the solar system sometimes increase?
gregori [183]
Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before.  When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where:

  • m is the mass of the car
  • v is the speed
  • R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}

F_{f}=8197.60 \: N

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!

Where did we use rotational and irrotational flow​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The term rotational and irrotational flow is associated withe the flow of particles in fluid.

The common example of irrrotational flow can be seen on the carriages of the Ferris wheel (giant wheel).

Explanation:

  • If the fluid is rotating along its axis with the streamline flow of its particles,then this type of flow is rotational flow.
  • Similarly if fluid particles do not rotate along its axis while flowing in a stream line flow then it is considered as the irrotational flow.
  • In majority, if the flow of fluid is viscid then it is rotational.
  • Fluid in a rotating cylinder is an example of rotating flow.
