A crate rests on a flatbed truck which is initially traveling at 17.9 m/s on a level road. The driver applies the brakes and the

truck is brought to a halt in a distance of 46.1 m. If the deceleration of the truck is constant, what is the minimum coefficient of friction between the crate and the truck that is required to keep the crate from sliding

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

Explanation:

The minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the crate from sliding can be found as follows:

-F_{f} + F = 0      

-F_{f} + ma = 0      

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

Where:

μ: is the coefficient of friction

m: is the mass of the crate

g: is the gravity

a: is the acceleration of the truck

The acceleration of the truck can be found by using the following equation:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d}

Where:  

d: is the distance traveled = 46.1 m

v_{f}: is the final speed of the truck = 0 (it stops)      

v_{0}: is the initial speed of the truck = 17.9 m/s

a = \frac{-(17.9 m/s)^{2}}{2*46.1 m} = -3.48 m/s^{2}        

If we take the reference system on the crate, the force will be positive since the crate will feel the movement in the positive direction.  

\mu = \frac{a}{g}  

\mu = \frac{3.48 m/s^{2}}{9.81 m/s^{2}}

\mu = 0.35

Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction required is 0.35.  

I hope it helps you!

Which quantities appear in the equation for the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The speed of light (c)

Explanation:

The equation that relates the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave the the electric field component of the wave is:

E=cB

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field component

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field component

c is the speed of light in a vacuum, whose value is

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s

Re-arranging the equation to solve for B, we find:

B=\frac{E}{c}

from an origin you walk 3 meters east 7 meters west and then 6meters east . where are you now relative to the origin?
german
You take 3 steps east, turn around & take another 7 steps west (4 steps always from origin) you turn around again and take 6 more steps east - 2 steps always from origin
