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 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
