The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a 50.0-kg box and a horizontal surface are 0.500 and 0.400 respectively.

(a) What is the acceleration of the object if a 250-N horizontal force is applied to the box

Answer:

1.08 m/s^2

Explanation:

The maximum value of static friction F_s = μ_s mg

where μ_s = coefficient of static friction

m= mass of box= 50kg

g= 9.81 m/s^2 , acceleration due to gravity

F_s = 0.5×50×9.81 =245 N

Since, the applied force is greater than the maximum value of static friction F_s, the object must be in motion. Hence, kinetic friction must be taken into account and not static friction.

By equilibrium condition

ma = F - μ_k m g

where F = 250 N,  μ_k = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4, m= 50 Kg

a = acceleration of the box

50a = 250-0.4×50×9.81

Solving we get a=  1.08 m/s^2

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

According to the graph, what is the motorcycle’s Average velocity ?
borishaifa [10]
According to the position vs time graph, the <em>average</em> <em>velocity</em> of the motorcycle is the change in position divided by the change in time. Also, note that the slope is linear and positive throughout the 5 hours, it doesn't change direction. 

Therefore, we have
Avg velocity = change in direction/change in time
Avg velocity = (150km - 30km)/(5h - 0h)
Avg velocity = 24km/hr south.
