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

Alja [10]

v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s

How does the speed of an object relate to the energy of the object
Ann [662]

Answer:

Increasing the speed of an object decreases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object increases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object does not affect its motion energy. Whether or not its motion energy is affected depends on how much its speed was increased.

Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it
stich3 [128]

Answer:

a. 6.69m/s

b. y=4.48m

c. t=1.43secs

Explanation:

Data given, acceleration,a=35m/s^2

distance covered,d=64cm=0.64m,

a. to determine the speed, we use the equation of motion

initial velocity,u=0m/s

if we substitute values we arrive at

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\v^{2}=0+2*35*0.64\\v^{2}=44.8m/s\\v=\sqrt{44.8}\\ v=6.69m/s\\

b. After taking the shot,the acceleration value is due to gravity i.e a=9.81m/s^2

and the distance becomes (y-2.2) above the ground. When it reaches the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero and the initial velocity becomes 6.69m/s.

Hence we can write the equation above again

v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\

if we substitute values we have

v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\0=6.69^{2}-2*9.81(y-2.2)\\y-2.2=\frac{44.76}{19.62} \\y=2.28+2.2\\y=4.48m

c. the time it takes to arrive at 1.83m is obtain by using the equation below

1.83-2.2=6.69t-\frac{1}{2} *9.81t^{2}\\4.9t^{2}-6.69t-0.37\\using \\t= \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}\\ where \\a=4.9, b=-6.69, c=-0.37

if we insert the values, we solve for t , hence t=1.43secs
