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?
Physics

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

According to universal gravitation, both mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects
Ksju [112]
Air resistance doesn't appear in the formula for gravitational force, because it doesn't affect it. Mass does because it does.

A projectile is fired from the origin (at y = 0 m) as shown in the diagram. The initial velocity
Viktor [21]

Answer:

-26 m/s.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:

t=\frac{0m/s-26m/s}{-9.8m/s^2} =2.65s

With which we compute the maximum height:

y=26m/s*2.65s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.65s)^2 \\\\y=34.5m

Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:

v_f=\sqrt{0m/s-(-9.8m/s^2)*2*34.5m}\\ \\v_f=-26m/s

Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.

Regards.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
