3. A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the produce between the object's mass and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have two forces acting on the object:

- The applied force, F = 25 N, to the right

- The force of friction F_f, opposing the motion of the box, so to the left

So we can write the net force as

F_{net}=F-F_f

Also, we know that the box is moving at constant speed: this means its acceleration is zero, so

a=0

Therefore

F_{net}=0

WHich means:

F-F_f=0

And therefore,

F_f=F=25 N

which means that the force of friction is also 25 N.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

A ball is dropped from rest. how fast is the ball going after 3 seconds​
Airida [17]

Answer:

v = 29.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the ball is dropped at rest,

u = 0m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Using

v = u + at

After 3 seconds,

v = 0 + (9.81)(3)

v = 29.4m/s
