A horizontal force of 40N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at which coefficient of friction between floo

r and box? Determine it to three significant figures even through that's quite unrealistic. How much work is done in overcoming friction between the object and floor if the box slides 8m along horizontally on the floor?

Answer:

Coefficient of friction is 0.068.

Work done is 320~J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box (m): 60 kg

Force needed (F): 40 N

The formula to calculate the coefficient of friction between the floor and the box is given by

F=\mu mg...................(1)

Here, \mu is the coefficient of friction and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute 40 N for F, 60 kg for m and 9.80 m/s² for g into equation (1) and solve to calculate the value of the coefficient of friction.

40 N=\mu\times60 kg\times9.80 m/s^{2} \\~~~~~\mu=\frac{40 N}{60 kg\times9.80 m/s^{2}}\\~~~~~~~=0.068

The formula to calculate the work done in overcoming the friction is given by

W=Fd..........................(2)

Here, W is the work done and d is the distance travelled.

Substitute  40 N for F and 8 m for d into equation (2) to calculate the work done.

W=40~N\times8~m\\~~~~= 320~J

Variations in the reactive properties of different organic molecules are most closely associated with _____.
azamat

Answer:

the presence or absence of functional groups

Explanation:

The functional group is the group of atoms that characterize a chemical function and that have well-defined characteristic properties.

In organic chemistry, the functional group is a set of submolecular structures, characterized by a specific elementary connectivity and composition that confers specific chemical reactivity to the molecule that contains them. These structures replace the hydrogen atoms lost by saturated hydrocarbon chains. Aliphatic, or open chain, groups are usually represented generically by R (alkyl radicals), while aromatic ones, or derivatives of benzene, are represented by Ar (aryl radicals).

babymother [125]

Answer:

1) designed to measure the difference in speed of light in different directions , 1887

Explanation:

1) This experiment was designed to measure the difference in speed of light in different directions and therefore find the speed of the ether.

2) was made in 1887

3) At that time it was assumed that it was the medium in which light traveled and it is everywhere

4) the speed of the wave depends on the characteristics of the medium where it travels,

for the one in a string depends on the tension and density

for an electromagnetic wave of the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum

5) In this type of interferometer the beam is divided into two rays

6) In his interrupter, he had to accurately measure the displacement of the fringes in a telescope, for which he had to minimize vibrations, he had problems in the movement of one of the arms, changes in temperature

7) In Michelsom's second experiment, the apparatus could measure 0.01 fringes by increasing the length of the arms by 11 m

8) The new interferometer floated on a bed of mercury

9) Couldn't measure any difference in speed of light in different directions

10) Physics was forced to eliminate the concept of ETHER

11) One of the principles of relativities that the speed of light is constant in all inertial efficiency systems

12) Michelson in 1907

13) It seems that Einstein did not know the results of this experiment

The Steamboat Geyser in Yellowstone National Park shoots water into the air at 48.0 m/s. How
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
poizon [28]
Let us first know the given: Tennis ball has a mass of 0.003 kg, Soccer ball has a mass of 0.43 kg. Having the same velocity at 16 m/s. First the equation for momentum is P=MV P=Momentum M=Mass V=Velocity. Now let us have the solution for the momentum of tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ) I use the subscript "t" for tennis.  Momentum of Soccer ball Ps= 0.43 x 13m/s = (      km-m/s). If we going to compare the momentum of both balls, the heavier object will surely have a greater momentum because it has a larger mass, unless otherwise  the tennis ball with a lesser mass will have a greater velocity to be equal or greater than the momentum of a soccer ball.
