Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

A single loop of current is immersed in an externally applied uniform magnetic field of 3 Tesla oriented in the positive y direc
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

mu=12Tm^2

Explanation:

the magnetic moment mu of a single loop is given by:

\mu = I A B

where I is the current, B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop. By replacing we obtain:

\mu=(0.5A)(4m*2m)(3T)=12Tm^2

hope this helps!!

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist
Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs

Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infini
amid [387]

Answer:

Recall that the electric field outside  a uniformly charged solid sphere  is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the  sphere:

E_{outside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{r^{2} } r^{'}

lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:

E_{inside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{R^{2} } \frac{r}{R} r^{'}

To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):

V(r>R)=\int\limits^r_\infty {\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0)} }\frac{Q}{r^2}  } \, dr=\frac{q}{4\pi(e_{0)} } \frac{1}{r} \\V(r

=\frac{q}{4\pi e_{0} } [\frac{1}{R} -\frac{r^{2}-R^{2}  }{2R^{3} } ]

∴NOTE: Graph is attached

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.
