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?

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

You perform the Hooke's Law experiment and create a plot of Displacement vs. Force. You add a linear fit and find the following
balandron [24]

Answer: 0.192 N/m

Explanation:

Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.

In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:

Y=mX+b

Where m=\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{X_{2}-X_{1}} is the slope and b is the point where the line intersects the Y-axis.

So, if the equation is:

Y=0.192X+0.011

The slope of this line is 0.192 N/m which is also the spring constant k.

Keaton is asked to solve the following physics problem:
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The answer is C "think about the problem first, systematically consider all factors, and form a hypothesis"

Explanation:

In physics there is some basic fomula that sir Isacc Newton proposed under the topic of motion. The three formulas are below;

<em>1) v=u+at</em>

<em>2)v^2=u^2+2as</em>

<em>3)s=ut+(1/2)(at^2)</em>

the variables are explained below;

u= initial velocity of the body

a=acceleration/Speed of the body

t= time taken by the body while travelling

s= displacement of the body.

Therefore to solve keatons problem, the factors(variables) in the formulas above need to be systematically considered. Since the ball was dropped from the top of the building, the initial velocity is 0 because the body was at rest. Also the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

Plz i need help for the 5 problems. plz show the work!!!
Artemon [7]

Answer:

1.   3 m/s^{2}

2.   1.5 m/s^{2}

3.   3 seconds

4.   0 m/s^{2}

5.   2.2 seconds

Explanation:

(1)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=0 since it’s at rest, v=30m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {30-0}{10}=3 m/s^{2}

(2)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=10m/s, v=22m/s and t=8 seconds

a = \frac {22-10}{8}=1.5 m/s^{2}

(3)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=0m/s since at rest, v=15m/s and a=5 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {15-0}{5}=3s

(4)

When initial and final velocity are constant, there’s no acceleration as proven below

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=20 since it’s at rest, v=20m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {20-20}{10}=0 m/s^{2}

(5)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=9m/s since at rest, v=0m/s and a=-4.1 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {0-9}{-4.1}=2.2s
