Answer:

the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

applied horizontal force, F = 450 N

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.795

constant velocity, v = 1.2 m/s

At constant velocity, the acceleration of the object is zero and the net force will be zero.

F_{Net} = F - F_k\\\\0 = F - F_k\\\\F_k = F\\\\\mu \ N = F\\\\\mu (mg) = F\\\\m = \frac{F}{\mu  g} \\\\m = \frac{405}{0.795 \ \times \ 9.8} \\\\m = 51.98 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the box is 51.98 kg.

The space shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.6times10^3 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 110 ms. How many foo
sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

Distance=Speed\times Time

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters

Thus no of football fields=\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him
juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal  direction

m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}

v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}

v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
