A string is being pulled with a force of 20 N and moves a 5 kg block to the left at a constant speed. What is the coefficient of

friction for between the floor and the block? Enter your answer as a decimal value (Example: 0.72) * I think the answer is 20 but this question is starting frustrating me

Answer:

μ = 0.4

Explanation:

As, the object is moving at a constant speed. Therefore, the unbalanced force on it must be equal to zero. So, the frictional force on the object must be equal to the force applied to it:

F = frictional force

F = μR = μW = μmg

where,

F = Applied Force  = 20 N

μ = coefficient of friction between wall and floor = ?

m = mass of block = 5 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

20 N = μ(5 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

μ = 20 N/49 N

<u>μ = 0.4</u>

Answer:

Friction, normal force, and weight

Explanation:

If the book slows down, it means that there must be friction acting in the opposite direction of the direction the book is moving in.

Weight is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth on the book, and normal force is the table pushing the book up because the book is pushing down on the table (3rd law.)

Note that weight and normal force is not the 3rd law action-reaction pair. The pair is the force of the book on the table and the force of the table on the book.

The forklift exerts a 1,500.0 N force on the box and moves it 3.00 m forward to the stack. How much work does the forklift do ag
allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity

A. At what point in it's motion is the kinetic energy of the end of a pendulum greatest? b. At what point is the potential energ
Darya [45]

The kinetic energy will be greatest at the bottom of the swing motion.

The potential energy will be greatest at the highest position of the swing.

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object or system due to the position or placement of its parts. However, it is not affected by the external environment of the object or system. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy of the particles of an object or system in motion.

In an oscillating pendulum, the potential energy and gravitational kinetic energy are constantly changing. The potential and kinetic energies are maximal at extreme and intermediate positions, respectively.

How is the bike in the picture a system and how is the Earth a system?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The earth is a vast, complex system powered by two sources of energy: an internal source (the decay of radioactive elements in the geosphere, which generates geothermal heat) and an external source (the solar radiation received from the Sun); the vast majority of the energy in the earth system comes from the Sun.
