If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 29 kg crate and the floor is 0.38, what horizontal force is required to move th

e crate at a steady speed across the floor?

OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Let <em>F</em> be the magnitude of the force needed to keep the box sliding at constant speed, and <em>f</em> the magnitude of kinetic friction. Then by Newton's second law, the net horizontal force on the crate is

<em>F</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

so that

<em>F</em> = <em>f</em>

<em />

<em>f</em> is proportional to the magnitude of the normal force <em>n</em>,

<em>f</em> = 0.38<em>n</em>

The net vertical force is

<em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

which tells us that

<em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = (29 kg) (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 284 N

Then the required force must have magnitude

<em>F</em> = <em>f</em> = 0.38 (284 N) ≈ 110 N

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 26 cm apart.
mezya [45]

Answer: 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Explanation: The force per unit length that two wires exerts on each other is defined by the formula below

F/L = (u×i1×i2) / (2πr)

Where F/L = force per meter

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s^2A^2

i1 = current on first wire = 57A

i2 = current on second wire = 57 A

r = distance between both wires = 26cm = 0.26m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

Force per meter = (1.256×10^-6×57×57)/ 2×3.142 ×0.26

= 4080.744×10^-6/ 1.634

= 4.080×10^-3 / 1.634

= 2.49×10^-3 N/m
