Astudent needs to move a large carton of books with a total mass of 120 kg, to get a better view out the window. the coefficient of static friction (μs) between the cardboard boxes and the tile floor is 0.42, and the coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) is 0.30. assuming the student keeps pushing with the same force needed to get the box moving, what will be the acceleration of the box of books?

Answer from: luximartinez

$1.176 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

= Total mass of carton of books = 120 kg

$\mu _{s}$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.42

$\mu _{k}$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.30

= force applied to get the box moving

= kinetic frictional force acting on the carton of books

= acceleration of the box

Force applied to get the box moving is given as

$F = \mu _{s}mg$

kinetic frictional force is given as

$f = \mu _{k}mg$

Force equation for the motion of the box of books is given as

F - f = ma

$\mu _{s}mg - \mu _{k}mg = ma$

$\mu _{s}g - \mu _{k}g = a$

(0.42)(9.8) - (0.30)(9.8) = a

a = (0.42)(9.8) - (0.30)(9.8)

$a = 1.176 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

The particle in a two-dimensional well is a useful model for the motion of electrons around the indole ring (3), the conjugated cycle found in the side chain of tryptophan. we may regard indole as a rectangle with sides of length 280 pm and 450 pm, with 10 electrons in the conjugated p system. as in case study 9.1, we assume that in the ground state of the molecule each quantized level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels. 9.27 electrons around the porphine ring (4), the conjugated macrocycle that forms the structural basis of the heme group and the chlorophylls. we may treat the group as a circular ring of radius 440 pm, with 20 electrons in the conjugated system moving along the perimeter of the ring. as in exercise 9.26, assume that in the ground state of the molecule quantized each level is occupied by two electrons. (a) calculate the energy and angular momentum of an electron in the highest occupied level. (b) calculate the frequency of radiation that can induce a transition between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied levels.
