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

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and road, if a car rounds a level curve of radius 85 m at
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.66

Explanation:

By using the formula

u = v^2 / r g

Where u is coefficent of friction

u = 23.5 × 23.5 / (85 × 9.8)

u = 0.66

A 1.120 kg car is traveling with a speed of 40 m/s. find its energy
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

896 kJ

Explanation:

KInetic Energy = 1/2 m v^2

                         = 1/2 (1120)(40^2) = 896 000 J    or  896 kJ

Enter the expression
vlabodo [156]
I see the word "when..." kind of fading out at the end of the first line.
Whatever comes after it may be important.

If you're just supposed to copy the expression into the box,
then the problem is that you left the 'e' out of it.

I'm guessing that you're supposed to enter whatever the expression becomes
when either  N₀ or  ' t ' has some special value that's in the first line.

Just taking a wild guess here . . . . .

If it's  "Enter the expression ..... , when t=0 ." ,
then the correct answer in the box is     N₀  .

But that's just a wild guess.  As I pointed out, you cut off
the picture in the middle of the word 'when', and I've got
a hunch that there's something important after it.
