A 5kg box is being pulled for a force of 20 n and is sliding with an acceleration of 2 m/s. Find the coefficient of friction

Physics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force =  5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

What happens when ice melts, according to the kinetic theory?
lukranit [14]
The water molecules increase their speed.
This is because when an object is in its solid form, the molecules are packed closely together, restricting movement.
On this table;

Solid
Liquid
Gas

Liquid is the next step on the ladder, and going from up to down, the molecules speed up and desperate.

you can produce a sound by plucking a string or by blowing in a pipe. how are these two ways different?​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a differenceis that the string needs force to be used. without something pulling on it then it wont make the noise. meanwhile the pipe only needs air to be blow Wich can be caused naturally or intentionally

consider the free-body diagram. if you want the box to move, the force applied while dragging must be greater than the
NeTakaya

Answer:

Force of static friction between the two surfaces

Explanation:

When two surfaces come into contact, they exert a force that resist the sliding of the two surfaces. This force is called static friction.

This force is given by the relation

                                       F_{s}=\mu_{s}\eta

Where,

                             μ - coefficient of static friction

                             η - normal force acting on the body

When a force acts on a body placed on a rough surface, it doesn't do any work if the applied force was less than the force of static friction.

So, in order to move the body, the applied force should be greater than the force of static friction.

According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, what key difference in their early formation explains why the jovian
svp [43]

Answer:

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline while the terrestrial planets formed in the Frostline in the solar nebular

Explanation:

The Jovian planets are the large planets namely Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets include the Earth, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. According to the nebular theory of solar system formation, the terrestrial planets were formed from silicates and metals. They also had high boiling points which made it possible for them to be located very close to the sun.

The Jovian planets formed beyond the Frostline. This is an area that can support the planets that were made up of icy elements. The large size of the Jovian planets is as a result of the fact that the icy elements were more in number than the metal components of the terrestrial planets.

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.
