A box weighing 52.4 N is sliding on a rough horizontal floor with a constant friction force of magnitude LaTeX: ff. The box's in
german

Answer:

The magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is 2.614 newtons.

Explanation:

Since the box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, then it is decelerated solely by friction force due to the contact of the box with floor. The free body diagram of the box is presented herein as attachment. The equation of equilbrium for the box is:

\Sigma F = -f = m\cdot a (Eq. 1)

Where:

f - Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.

m - Mass of the box, measured in kilograms.

a - Acceleration experimented by the box, measured in meters per square second.

By applying definitions of weight (W = m\cdot g) and uniform accelerated motion (v = v_{o}+a\cdot t), we expand the previous expression:

-f = \left(\frac{W}{g} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{v-v_{o}}{t}\right)

And the magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is calculated by this formula:

f = -\left(\frac{W}{g} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{v-v_{o}}{t}\right) (Eq. 1b)

Where:

W - Weight, measured in newtons.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

v_{o} - Initial speed, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that W = 52.4\,N, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, v_{o} = 1.37\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} and t = 2.8\,s, the magnitud of the kinetic friction force exerted on the box is:

f = -\left(\frac{52.4\,N}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } \right)\cdot \left(\frac{0\,\frac{m}{s}-1.37\,\frac{m}{s}  }{2.8\,s} \right)

f = 2.614\,N

The magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is 2.614 newtons.

The Earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles; our Moon’s diameter is about 2,000 miles; how
Vitek1552 [10]

Three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

<h3>What is the moon?</h3>

The moon is a non luminous body found in the space. It could cause a solar eclipse when it comes between the sun and the earth.

Since the Earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles and the Moon’s diameter is about 2,000 miles, to obtain the number of moons that could fit inside the sun we have;

8,000 miles/ 2,000 miles = 3

Hence, three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

y=y_{0}+uSin\theta t-1/2 gt^{2}

y=2+20Sin5 t-4.9t^{2}

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

0=2+1.74 t-4.9t^{2}

4.9t^{2}-1.74t-2=0

t= \frac{1.74\pm\sqrt{1.74^{2}+4\times\2\times4.9}}{9.8}

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X =  16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y'=y_{0}+uSin\theta t'-1/2 gt'^{2}

y'=2+20Sin5 t-4.9\times0.35^{2}

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.
