A large box of mass M is moving on a horizontal floor at speed v0. A small box of mass m is sitting on top of the large box. The

coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is μs and coefficient of kinetic friction between the large box and floor is μk. Find an expression for the shortest distance dmin in which the large box can stop without the small box slipping.

Answer:

dmin = V0^2 / {2(9.8)(μs)}

Explanation:

According to free body diagram, the only forces acting on the small box are force of gravity and force of friction.  

Therefore, the vector sum of the forces in the horizontal direction will be,

ma = F of friction which would be ma = mgμs

a = gμs ……. (1)

Kinematics equation states that, Vf^2 = Vi^2+ 2a (delta d)

Since the large box stops moving, which means Vf = 0 and initial velocity Vi=V0, then kinematics equation becomes

0 = V0^2 + 2a (delta d)

(delta d or dmin) = V0^2/2a …… (2)

 

Substitute the value of a from eqn.1 in eqn. 2, we should get

dmin = V0^2 / {2(9.8)(μs)}

madam [21]

Answer:

the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow.

Explanation:

We can answer this exercise using Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ e . dA = q_{int} / ε₀

field flow is directly proportionate to the charge found inside it, therefore if we place a Gaussian surface outside the plastic spherical shell.  the flow must be zero since the charge of the sphere is equal  induced in the shell, for which the net charge is zero. we see with this analysis that this shell meets the requirement to block the elective field

From the same Gaussian law it follows that if the sphere is not in the center, the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow , so no matter where the sphere is, the total induced charge is always equal to the charge on the sphere.

A swimmer does 3,560 J of work in 55 s. What is the swimmer’s power output? Round your answer to two significant figures. The po
Natasha2012 [34]
The value of the swimmer's power output is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it took for the work to be completed. From the given in this item,
                              P = 3560 J/ 55 s = 64.73 W
Rounding off to two significant figures will give us 65 W.

PtichkaEL [24]
This phenomena is referred to as metal projectile injury/effect. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. As expected, your body is subjected to a magnetic field. This is a technique to look inside your body without cutting it open. Metals should not be placed anywhere near an MRI because it will cause the metals to follow the direction of the magnetic field.
