Answer:

The coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

Explanation:

Since the block reads 24.5 N before the block starts to move, this is its weight. Now, when the block starts to move at a constant velocity, it experiences a frictional force which is equal to the force with which the student pulls.

Now, since the velocity is constant so, there is no acceleration and thus, the net force is zero.

Let F = force applied and f = frictional force = μN = μW where μ = coefficient of friction and N = normal force. The normal force also equals the weight of the object W.

Now, since F - f = ma and a = 0 where a = acceleration and m = mass of block,

F - f = m(0) = 0

F - f = 0

F = f

Since the force applied equals the frictional force, we have that

F =  μW and F = 23.7 N and W = 24.5 N

So, 23.7 N = μ(24.5 N)

μ = 23.7 N/24.5 N

μ = 0.97

Since μ = 0.97 < 1, the coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

21. Calculate the acceleration of the bus from point D to E. Show your work.
Marat540 [252]

21) Acceleration from D to E: 1 m/s^2

22) The acceleration of the bus from D to E is 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

21)

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity of the object. Mathematically:

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

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we want to measure the acceleration of the bus from point D to point E. We have:

- Initial velocity at point D: u = 0

- Final velocity at point E: v = 5 m/s

- Time elapsed from D to E: t = 21 - 16 = 5 s

Therefore, the acceleration between D and E is

a=\frac{5-0}{5}=1 m/s^2

22) This question is the same as 21), so the result is the same.
