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>

A projectile is fired at v 0 = 381.0 m/s at an angle of θ = 73.5 ∘ , with respect to the horizontal. Assume that air friction wi
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of projection, vo = 381 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 73.5°

The formula for the range is

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{381^{2}Sin147 }{9.8}

R = 8067.4 m

Range in shorten by 34.1 %

So, the new range is

R' = 8067.4 - 34.1 x 8067.4/100

R' = 5316.4 m
