A 25 kg box is being pulled at a constant velocity with a tension force of 65 N. what is the coefficient of friction between the

box and the ground?

DiKsa [7]3 years ago

The box is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law says

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

65 N + (-<em>f</em> ) = 0

where <em>n</em> denotes the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> denotes the weight of the box, and <em>f</em> denotes the magnitude of the friction force.

The box has a weight of

<em>w</em> = (25 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 245 N

so <em>n</em> = 245 N, too.

The friction force has magnitude

<em>f</em> = 65 N

and is proportional to the normal force by a factor of <em>µ</em>, the coefficient of kinetic friction. So we have

65 N = <em>µ</em> (245 N)   →  <em>µ</em> ≈ 0.26

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts. If the door is in operation for 30 seconds, how many joules of energy are
Ksju [112]
Because of the hint we can conclude what equation we need to solve this problem. We have power and duration that means that we need to express energy:

1 joule = 1watt * 1 second
or
E (energy) = P (power) * t (time duration)
E = 350 * 30 = 10500 joules.

"The wave" is a particular type of pulse that can
scoray [572]

Answer:

t = 36π seconds

Explanation:

For resolving this problem, we are going to consider a representative stadium of the United States. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia has an average radius of 90 m.

Then, its circumference measures:

L = 2πr

L = 2π(90)

L = 180π m

First, we estimate the wave's velocity: the average width of an person is 0.5 m, then the velocity is:

v = x/t

                 Where x: person's width

                             t: time

v = 0.5/0.1 = 5 m/s

The time required for the pulse to make one circuit around the stadium is:

t = x/v = 180π/5 = 36π seconds

A barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a va
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;

=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"

=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."

With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;

(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].

The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.

Length of mercury = 27.8 in.

AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.
