<span>Force F = 280 N Angle with the ground = 40 degrees Weight of the Lawnmower = 350 N Velocity is constant so Acceleration is 0 So Forward force Ff = F cos theta = 280 cos40 Frictional force with resists to back Fb = (u x Force from pressure) + vertical component of Force, where u is the coefficient of friction. Fb = (u x m x g) + (u x 280sin40) AS Ff = Fb => 280 cos40 = u x ((m x g) + 280sin40) u = 280 cos40 / ((350 x 9.81) + 280sin40) = 214.49 / () = 0.405 So the coefficient of friction u = 0.405</span>

Answer:

µ= 0.405

Explanation:

Acceleration is 0 (constant V), so all the forces in the horizontal direction must add up to 0. Specifically those are these two:

Horizontal component of the force of (F1). It acts FORWARD.  

F1 = F*cosθ = 280cos40 N

Force of friction

F(fr) = µ*(total pressure force).

Two forces are creating the pressure force (Fp).

The other is the vertical component of F It's equal to

F*sinθ = 280sin40.

Then the friction force

F(fr) = µ*(mg + 280sin40)

Since

F1 = F(fr),

280cos40 = µ*(mg + 280sin40)

µ = 280cos40 / (mg + 280sin40)

µ= 0.405

The maximum range of projectle is R° if projected at angle of 45°. It'll be 300% of Range of projectile if projected at angle? a
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The maximum range is 300% of the range of the projectile is projected at an angle of 9.74°.

None of the options are correct.

Explanation:

Normally, ignoring air resistance, for projectile motion, the range (horizontal distance travelled) of the motion is given as

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

where

u = initial velocity of the projectile

θ = angle above the horizontal at which the projectile was launched

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The range is maximum when θ = 45°

R when θ = 45° is

R = (u² sin 90°)/g = (u²/g)

We are then told that this maximum range is 300% of the value obtainable for the range at a particular angle

Maximum range = 3R

(u²/g) = 3(u² sin 2θ)/g

Sin 2θ = (1/3)

2θ = sin⁻¹ (1/3) = 19.47°

θ = (19.47°/2) = 9.74°

Hope this Helps!!!

What fundamental frequency would you expect from blowing across the top of an empty soda bottle that is 24 cm deep
kari74 [83]

Answer:

708.3 Hz

Explanation:

For an open-air column, like the empty can, the fundamental frequency is given by

f_1 = \frac{v}{2L}

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound

L is the length of the column

In this problem, the length of the bottle is

L = 24 cm = 0.24 m

Therefore, the fundamental frequency is

f_1 = \frac{340 m/s}{2(0.24 m)}=708.3 Hz
