Answer:
t = 1.16 s.
Explanation:
Given,
speed of conveyor belt, v = 3.2 m/s
coefficient of friction,f = 0.28
Using newton second law
f = ma
and we also know that frictional force
f = μ N
f = μ m g
equating both the force equation
a = μ g
a = 0.28 x 9.81
a = 2.75 m/s²
Using Kinematic equation
v = u + at
3.2 = 0 + 2.75 x t
t = 1.16 s.
Time taken by the box to move without slipping is 1.16 s.
