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 car is moving 5.82M/S when it accelerates at 2.35M/S^2for 3.25S. What is its final velocity?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=vi+at

vi=5.82 m/s

a=2.35 m/s2

t=3.25 s

vf=5.82+2.35*3.25

vf=5.82+7.64

vf=13.46

Si la fuerza de repulsión entre dos cargas es 18 × 1013
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = kQq/r²

r = √(kQq/F)

a)  r = √(8.899(10⁹)(8)(4) / 18(10¹³)) = 0.0397749... m

  r = 40 mm

b) r = √(8.899(10⁹)(12)(3) / 18(10¹³)) = 0.0421876... m

   r = 42 mm
