To move a 51kg cabinet across a floor requires a force of 200n to start it moving, but then only 100n to keep it moving a steady speed. (a) find the maximum coefficient of static friction between the cabinet and the floor. (b) find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cabinet and the floor.

a)

b)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cabinet, m = 51 kg

a) Applied force = 200 N

Now the force required to move the from the state of rest (F) = coefficient of static friction ()× Normal reaction(N)

N = mg

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

⇒N = 51 kg × 9.8 m/s²

⇒N = 499.8 N

thus, 200N  = × 499.8 N

⇒ =

b) Applied force = 100 N

since the cabinet is moving, thus the coefficient of kinetic() friction will come into action

Now the force required to move the from the state of rest (F) = coefficient of kinetic friction ()× Normal reaction(N)

N = mg

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

⇒N = 51 kg × 9.8 m/s²

⇒N = 499.8 N

thus, 100N  = × 499.8 N

⇒ =

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
