A factory worker pushes a 30.0-kg crate a distance of 4.5 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on

it. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.25. (a) what magnitude of force must the worker apply

The crate moves at constant velocity, this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the crate is zero (Newton's second law). 

There are only two forces acting on the crate: the force F applied by the worker and the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction: \mu m g, where \mu=0.25 is the coefficient of friction and m=30.0 kg is the mass of the crate. Since the net force should be equal to zero, the two forces must have same magnitude, so we have:
F=\mu m g=(0.25)(30.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.8 N
And so, this is the force that the worker must apply to the crate.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to the translational rms near the earth's surface is \sqrt 3 :1

Explanation:

The relation between the translational rms speed and the temperature is given by :

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3kT}{m}}

So, v_{rms}\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{T} }

When the temperature is three times greater.  

v'_{rms}=\dfrac{1}{3T}

The ratio of the translational rms speed in the ionosphere to the translational rms near the earth's surface is :

\dfrac{v_{rms}}{v'{rms}}=\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{1}

Hence, this is the required solution.
