Answer: k = 5.4kg/m

where m is the mass of the crate.

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction is described by the equation:

Ff = k*N

in the opposite direction in wich the object moves, where k is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force, that is equal to the weight of the crate. N = m*g where m is the mass of the crate and g is the gravitational acceleration.

If the crate keeps moving with constant velocity, this means that the crate is not accelerating so there is no net force applied on the crate. Then the friction force should be equal in magnitude to the horizontal force of 53N (but with different sign)

then we have:

k*m*g =  53N

k*m = 53N/9.8m/s^2 = 5.4kg

k = 5.4kg/m

In the question we do not have the mass of the crate, so you must put the value in that equation to get the value of k.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Force required at constant velocity, Fk = 53 N

Force required at rest, Fs = 53 N

Mass, M = 24 kg

Total force, Ft = 0

Fs - Fn = 0

Fk - Fn = 0

Where,

Fn = normal force

= Mass × g × µ

Fs = Mass × g × µs

Fk = Mass × g × µk

Where,

µs = coefficient of static friction

µk = coefficient of kinetic friction

Fk = Mass × g × µk

µk = 53/(24 × 9.8)

= 0.225

= 0.23.

a car is going around a roundabout.explain why we say that it is accelerating even if it is moving at a constant speed.
kiruha [24]

Because 'acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'. 
It means ANY change in motion ... speeding up, slowing down,
or changing DIRECTION.

When traveling a roundabout, or any curved path, the direction
is constantly changing even if the speed is constant, so there is
constant acceleration going on.

A charge of 90 C passes through a wire in 1 hour 15 minutes . what is the current in the wire
timurjin [86]
We calculate current from the formula:
I= \frac{q}{t} , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t 
Time should be converted to seconds:
1h 15 min= 75min= 4500s
I=\frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A Result is in unit-Ampere

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. Wha
Gwar [14]

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)

<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>

  • Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
  • In the given case, W = -qΔV
  • -W = qΔV
  • = qEcosθ
  • Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50×10^2 N/C)(2.5m)(1)
  • = -3.40×10^-^1^6 J
  • Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
  • Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
  • The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.
