Two workers are sliding 470 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 450 N while the ot

her pulls in the same direction with a force of 330 N using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

Answer:

0.169

Explanation:

There are three forces acting on the crate along the horizontal direction:

- The pushing force of the first worker, F1 = 450 N forward

- The pushing force of the second worker, F2 = 330 N forward

- The frictional force F_f acting backward

The crate slides with constant speed, so its acceleration is zero: a = 0. This means that we can write Newton's second law as

\sum F = ma = 0\\F_1 + F_2 - F_f = 0

The frictional force can be rewritten as

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m = 470 kg is the mass of the crate

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting everything into the previous equation, we find:

F_1 + F_2 - \mu mg = 0\\\mu = \frac{F_1 + F_2}{mg}=\frac{450 N+330 N}{(470 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.169

wide tube that extends down from the bag of solution, which hangs from a pole so that the fluid level is 90.0 cm above the needl
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The average gauge pressure inside the vein is 110270.58 Pa

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the Bernoulli's Equation. First, in order to determine the outlet pressure of the needle, we need to find the total pressure exerted by the atmosphere and the fluid.

P_f: fluid's\ pressure\\P_f= \rho g h=1025\frac{kg}{m^3} \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.9 m=9040.5 Pa \\P_T: total\ pressure\\P_T=P_{atm}+P_f\\P_T=101325 Pa + 9040.5 Pa=110275.5 Pa\\

Then, we have to find the fluid's outlet velocity with the transversal area of the needle, as follows:

S: transversal\ area \\S= \pi r^2=\pi (0.200 \times 10^{-3})^2=5.65 \times 10^{-7} m^2\\v=\frac{F}{S}=\frac{5.55 \times 10^{-8} \frac{m^3}{s}}{5.65 \times 10^{-7} m^2}=0.98\times 10^{-1} \frac{m}{s}

As we have all the information, we can complete the Bernoulli's expression and solve to find the outlet pressure as follows:

P_T-P_{out}=\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2\\P_{out}=P_T-\frac{1}{2} \rho v^2=110275.5 Pa-\frac{1}{2} 1025\frac{kg}{m^3} (0.98\times 10^{-1} \frac{m}{s})^2=110275.5 Pa-4.92 Pa =110270.58 Pa

Consider the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) as you complete these questions. A ball is
Lena [83]

Answer:

When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE  energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.

Explanation:

If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.

If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh

How does a prism split white light into a rainbow?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

DECOMPOSITION OF LIGHT:

Descartes explained the formation of the rainbow and years later Newton studied the light and managed to break it down into the colors of its spectrum through a prism year 1666.

Newton knew very little about the nature of light, did not know that it was a wave and even less that it was an electromagnetic wave. He believed that it was formed by corpuscles, but he managed to break it down into its spectral colors. Today we know that light is both particle and wave.

Humans (and some animals) appreciate a wide range of colors that are usually due to the mixture of radiation (lights) of different wavelengths. The color of light with a single wavelength or a narrow band of them is known as pure color.

When the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the light beam travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving (double refraction when changing media) giving as result a beam diverted from the initial direction and with its separate components. Thus arises the solar spectrum.

Each of the different rays of light crosses the glass with different velocity and the average speed of light within the prism is less than in a vacuum. Light is a wave with an oscillating electric field that interferes with the charged particles in matter.

The visible radiations are between the following wavelengths: from 350 nm (nanometers) for violet to 750 nm for red.
