Two identical boxes are being pulled across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity by a horizontal pulling force of 176 N tha

t is applied to one of the boxes, as the drawing shows. There is kinetic friction between each box and the floor. Find the tension in the rope between the boxes.

Answer:

88 N

Explanation:

Since the two boxes are identical, they have the same normal force and kinetic friction constant.

Also, since you know they are moving at a constant velocity, the force of 176 N being applied to one of the boxes must equal the sum of the force of friction from both boxes, that is:

176 = 2 * (F_n * u_k) where F_n is normal force and u_k is coefficient of kinetic friction.

Since the rope between the boxes only has to exactly cancel out 1 box worth of kinetic friction, you get:

F_t = (F_n * u_k) where F_t equals the tension in the rope.

Substitution F_t in the first equation leads to:

176 = 2 * (F_t)

F_t = 88

So the tension in the rope is exactly half of the 176 N force being applied, so it is 88 N.

Answer:

the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N

Explanation:

given,

the force applied on one body F = 176 N

When two bodies are moving on horizontal plane at constant velocity then their kinetic friction (f k) is equal to applied force F

According to newton third law the resultant force acting on one body is equal to the resultant force acting on the another body.

T is the tension in the rope

T- f_k = - (T- f_k)

T - F = - (T - F)

T - 176 = - (T - 0)

2 T = 176

T = 176/2 = 88 N

so, the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

28.1 mph

Explanation:

The force of friction acting on the car provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion around the curve, so we can write:

F=\mu mg = m \frac{v^2}{r} (1)

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

v is the maximum speed of the car

r is the radius of the trajectory

On the snowy day,

\mu=0.50\\v = 20 mph = 8.9 m/s

So the radius of the curve is

r=\frac{v^2}{\mu g}=\frac{(8.9)^2}{(0.50)(9.8)}=16.1 m

Now we can use this value and re-arrange again the eq. (1) to find the maximum speed of the car on a sunny day, when \mu=1.0. We find:

v=\sqrt{\mu g r}=\sqrt{(1.0)(9.8)(8.9)}=12.6 m/s=28.1 mph

The electric field 1.5 cm from a very small charged object points toward the object with a magnitude of 180,000 N/C. What is the
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

q = 4.5 nC

Explanation:

given,

electric field of small charged object, E = 180000 N/C

distance between them, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

using equation of electric field

E = \dfrac{kq}{r^2}

k = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q is the charge of the object

q= \dfrac{Er^2}{k}

now,

q= \dfrac{180000\times 0.015^2}{9\times 10^9}

      q = 4.5 x 10⁻⁹ C

      q = 4.5 nC

the charge on the object is equal to 4.5 nC

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The fraction of mass that was thrown out is calculated by the following Formula:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

We know that Force on a moving object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration given as:

F = ma

And there is gravitational force always acting on an object in the downward direction which is equal to g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Here as a convention we will use positive sign with acceleration to represent downward acceleration and negative sign with acceleration represent upward acceleration.

Case 1:

Hot balloon of mass = M

acceleration = a

Upward force due to hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force downwards = Mg

Net force on balloon is given as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (balloon is moving downwards so Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After the ballast has thrown out,the new mass is m. The new acceleration is -a/2 in the upward direction:

Net Force is given as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (Balloon is moving upwards so F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Calculating the fraction of the initial mass dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]
