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

1. A racing car with the driver weighs 1825 lb. Find the kinetic energy in ft*lb when traveling with a speed of 100 mi/hr.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

1. 610,000 lb ft

2. 490 J

Explanation:

1. First, convert mi/hr to ft/s:

100 mi/hr × (5280 ft / mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 146.67 ft/s

Now find the kinetic energy:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1825 lb / 32.2 ft/s²) (146.67 ft/s)²

KE = 610,000 lb ft

2. KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (5 kg) (14 m/s)²

KE = 490 J

Using Figure 2, what is the momentum of Train Car A before the collision?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Train Car A:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

For Train Car B:

Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass × velocity

With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 45000 × 4

Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s
