A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at

a force of 34.8 N. He then maintains this 34.8 N force while the box accelerates at 0.357 m/s^2. What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor?

Answer:

 μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

X axis

     F -fr = 0

     F = fr

The friction force has the formula

     fr = μ N

     fr =  μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

     F = μ m g

     μ = F / m g

calculate

      μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

    μ = 0.18

Answer:

The coefficient of friction between the crate and the floor = 0.143

Explanation:

Frictional Force: This is the force that act between two surface in contact and tend to oppose their motion. it is measured in Newton (N)

F - F₁ = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = Force of the crate, F₁ = frictional force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate

making F₁ the subject the equation 1

F₁ = F - ma .................... Equation 2

<em>Given: F = 34. 8 N,  m = 19.8 kg. a = 0.357 m/s².</em>

Substituting these values into equation 2

F₁ = 34.8 - (19.8×0.357)

F₁ = 34.8 - 7.07

F₁ = 27.73 N.

F₁ = μR ............... equation 3

making μ the subject of formula in equation 3

μ = F₁/R.............. Equation 4

Where F₁ = Frictional Force, μ = coefficient of static friction, R = Normal reaction.

R = mg,  

where g = 9.8 m/s², m = 19.8 kg

R = 19.8( 9.8) = 194.04 N,

R = 194.04 N, F₁ = 27.73 N

Substituting these values into equation 4

 μ  = 27.73/194.04

μ  = 0.143.

therefore the coefficient of friction between the crate and the floor = 0.143

A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case
vovangra [49]

The frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Opposition forces on the surface cause heat loss during the motion of an object known as the friction force.

Given data:

m(mass)= 10.0-kg

Θ (Inclination angle)=25.0o

Coefficient of sliding friction,\rm \mu_k=0.520

Coefficient of static friction,\rm  \mu_s=0.520

The friction force, F=?

Resolve the force in the inclined plane;

\rm F=\mu_s mg cos25^0 \\\\ F=0.520 \times 10 \times 9.81 \times  cos 25 ^0 \\\\ F= 46.2 \ N

Hence, the frictional force while the mass is sliding will be 46.2 N.

How can the rate of a reaction be decreased?
andre [41]

Answer:

Option A

Lowering the amount of reactants

Explanation:

To reduce the rate of chemical reaction, one can reduce temperature or surface area. The addition of catalysts increases rate of reaction but decreasing the amount of reactants decreases rate of reaction. Therefore, from the choices provided, choice A is correct.

A 1.00 -kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.62a). The object has
LekaFEV [45]

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m
