Answer:

a) The minimum force required to start moving the box is 352.86 N

b) i) The friction force for the box in motion is 147.025 N

ii) The acceleration of box is 4.21625 m/s²

Explanation:

The parameters of the box at rest and the floor are;

The mass of the box = 60 kg

The static coefficient friction of the floor = 0.6

The kinetic coefficient friction of the floor = 0.25

Frictional force = Normal force × Friction coefficient

For an horizontal floor and the box laying on the floor, we have;

The normal force = The weight of the box = Mass of the box × Acceleration due to gravity, g

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

The weight of the box  = 60 × 9.81 = 588.6 N

a) The static coefficient gives the frictional force observed by the box and which must be surpassed to bring about motion

Therefore;

The minimum force required to start moving the box = The static frictional force = Weight of the box × The static coefficient of friction

The minimum force required to start moving the box = 588.1 × 0.6 = 352.86 N

The minimum force required to start moving the box = 352.86 N

b) i) When an horizontal force of 400 N is applied, the applied force is larger than the static friction force, and the box will be in motion with the kinetic coefficient of friction being the source of friction

The friction force for the box in motion = 588.1 × 0.25 = 147.025 N

ii) The force, F with the box is in motion, is given as follows;

F = Mass of box × Acceleration of box, a = Applied force - Kinematic friction force

F = 60 × a = 400 - 147.025 = 252.975 N

60 × a = 252.975 N

a = 252.975 N/(60 kg) = 4.21625 m/s²

Acceleration of box, a = 4.21625 m/s².

 When v = 1.5m/s, 3 waves in 10s t2 = 10 / 3s
  Calculating the frequency in first case f1 = 5 / 10 = 0.5
 Calculating the frequency in second case f2 = 3 / 10 = 0.3
 Using the Doppler formula f = (1-v/c) f0
  For the formula f = f2, v = velocity of boat= 1.5 m/s, f0 = f1, c is velocity of wave 0.3 = 0.5 x (1 - 1.5/c) => 1.5/c = 1 - 0.6 => 1.5/c = 0.4 => c = 1.5/0.4 Velocity of the wave = 3.75 m/s</span>

REY [17]

A superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object (usually a black hole or neutron star) is called an accretion disk. The correct option is c.

<h3>What is accretion disk?</h3>

Accretion disk is a heavy object surrounded by flow of gas, plasma, dust, or particles.  The materials surrounding the heavy object orbiting in the gravitational field of the object that loses energy and angular momentum as it slowly spirals inward.

This cloud can reach incredible speeds and temperatures as gravity causes it to build up more and more friction, eventually releasing x rays.

Thus, accretion disk is a superheated cloud of gas and dust swirling around a massive object.
