A rugby player sits on a scrum machine that weighs 200 Newtons. Given that the coefficient of static friction is 0.67, the coeff

icient of kinetic friction is 0.56 and the force required to push both the scrum machine and the player into motion is 850 Newtons, calculate the following: a)      The mass of the player ( 4marks) b)      The magnitude of the force required to keep both the scrum machine and the player in motion?​

a. 850 N is the minimum force needed to get the machine/player system moving, which means this is the maximum magnitude of static friction between the system and the surface they stand on.

By Newton's second law, at the moment right before the system starts to move,

• net horizontal force

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[s. friction] = 0

• net vertical force

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

and we have

F[s. friction] = µ[s] F[normal]

It follows that

F[weight] = F[normal] = (850 N) / (0.67) = 1268.66 N

where F[weight] is the combined weight of the player and machine. We're given the machine's weight is 200 N, so the player weighs 1068.66 N and hence has a mass of

(1068.66 N) / g ≈ 110 kg

b. To keep the system moving at a constant speed, the second-law equations from part (a) change only slightly to

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[k. friction] = 0

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

so that

F[k. friction] = µ[k] F[normal] = 0.56 (1268.66 N) = 710.45 N

and so the minimum force needed to keep the system moving is

F[push] = 710.45 N ≈ 710 N

Answer:

If you are asking the definition here is your answer:--

Explanation:

<u><em>Electrons</em></u> are negatively charged particles that revolve around the nucleus of an atom. In QFT(Quantum field theory) Electrons are vibration of space in the positive energy field.

<u><em>Protons </em></u> are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom held by the strong nuclear force. In QFT(Quantum field theory) protons are also different type of vibration in space in the direction of positive energy field.

It requires 0.30 kJ of work to fully drive a stake into the ground. If the average resistive force on the stake by the ground is
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Length of the stake will be 0.3623 m

Explanation:

We have given energy required to fully drive a stake into ground = 0.30 KJ = 300 J

Average resistive force acting on the floor is equal to F = 828 N

We have to find the length of the stake

We know that work done is given by

W = Fd, here W is work done , F is average force and d is the length of the stake

So 300 = 828×d

d = 0.3623 m

So length of the stake will be 0.3623 m
