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.

Stels [109]

Answer:

628.022466 N

8.61 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass

\mu = Coefficient of friction

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F_f=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow F_f=0.646\times 99.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_f=628.022466\ N

Magnitude of frictional force is 628.022466 N

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F_f}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{628.022466}{99.1}\\\Rightarrow a=6.33726\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=u-6.33726\times 1.36\\\Rightarrow u=8.61\ m/s

Initial speed of the player is 8.61 m/s

Recalculate 100 km/h to m/s
qwelly [4]

= 27.777

Explanation:

A kilometer has 1,000 meters, and an hour has 3,600 seconds, so 100 kilometers per hour is: 100 x 1,000 / 3,600 = 27.777... m/s.

Hans Langseth's beard measured 5.33 m in 1927. Consider two charges, q1 = 2.42 nC and an unspecified charge, q2, are separated 5
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-7.89 * 10^(-9) C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

q1 = 2.42 nC = 2.42 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q2 = 5.33 m

q3 = 1.0 nC = 1 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between q1 and q3 = 1.9 m

Distance between q2 and q3 = 5.33 - 1.9 = 3.43 m

The net force acting on q3 is:

F = F(q1, q3) + F(q2, q3)

F = (k*q1*q3)/1.9² + (k*q2*q3)/3.43²

F = (9 * 10^(9) * 2.42 * 10^(-9) * 1 * 10^(-9))/3.61 + (9 * 10^(9) * q2 * 1 * 10^(-9))/11.7649

F = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

If the net force is zero:

0 = 6.033 * 10^(-9) + 0.765*q2

-0.765*q2 = 6.033 * 10^(-9)

=> q2 = -[6.033 * 10^(-9)]/0.765

q2 = -7.89 * 10^(-9) C

He vector parts that add up to the resultant are called ____.
cupoosta [38]

1. Answer: components

A two dimensional vector can be divided into two parts called horizontal component and vertical component.

A three dimensional vector can be divided into three components: one along x-axis, one along y-axis and one along z-axis.

Hence, the vector parts that add up to the resultant are called components.

2. Answer: 5 miles.

The resultant distance along the straight line from the starting point to the end point would be the displacement.

The displacement would be equal to the magnitude of the hypotenuse formed in the right triangle.

Displacement, d=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5 miles

3. Answer: Scalar

A scalar quantity has only magnitude. For example, speed and distance are scalar quantities and can be normally added to find the total.

A vector quantity has both magnitude as well as direction. The components are summed according to vector addition rules. For example, velocity, acceleration, force etc.
