AI Thread Summary
To solve for the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 1000-N crate and the floor, the net force (Fnet) must be calculated using the applied force of 300 N at a 20-degree angle below the horizontal. The vertical component of the applied force affects the normal force (Fn), which is the force exerted by the floor against the crate. When the force is applied at an angle above the horizontal, the acceleration of the crate can be determined by adjusting the net force calculations accordingly. A free-body diagram is recommended to visualize the forces acting on the crate for accurate calculations. Understanding kinetic friction is essential for solving these physics problems effectively.

a 1000-n crate is being held is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force of f of 300-n at an angle of 20.0 below the horizontal. what is the coefficient kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? if the 300 n force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0 above the horizontal, what will be the acceleration of the crate? assume that the coefficient of riction is the same as in a.

srry I am really bad at physics ne1 want to help me
 
well, what is kinetic friction? Fk = q*Fn (q = coefficient)

Fn is the force pushing upwards against the block by the floor. in this case it is due to gravity and the downward component of the man's push.

draw a free-body diagram and go from there.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
