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

True or False: Our food has potential energy?
DanielleElmas [232]

Hello User,

Answer is yes.

Explanation

<em>At the most fundamental level, chemical energy is stored in food as molecular bonds. These molecular bonds represent potential energy, which is either very stable, such as in fat molecules, or very active and transitory, such as in ATP molecules.</em>

Hope it helps you... pls mark brainliest

The two uniform, slender rods B1and B2, each of mass 2kg, are pinned together at P, and then B1is suspended from a pin at O. (Th
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

hello the diagram relating to this question is attached below

a) angular accelerations : B1 = 180 rad/sec,  B2 = 1080 rad/sec

b) Force exerted on B2 at P = 39.2 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Co = 150 N-m ,

<u>a) Determine the angular accelerations of B1 and B2 when couple is applied</u>

at point P ; Co = I* ∝B2'

                150  = ( (2*0.5^2) / 3 ) * ∝B2

∴ ∝B2' = 900 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B2 = ∝B2' + ∝B1 = 900 + 180 = 1080 rad/sec

at point 0 ; Co = Inet * ∝B1

                  150 = [ (2*0.5^2) / 3  + (2*0.5^2) / 3  + (2*0.5^2) ] * ∝B1

∴ ∝B1 = 180 rad/sec

hence angular acceleration of B1 =  180 rad/sec

<u>b) Determine the force exerted on B2 at P</u>

T2 = mB1g + T1  -------- ( 1 )

where ; T1 = mB2g  ( at point p )

                 = 2 * 9.81 = 19.6 N

back to equation 1

T2 = (2 * 9.8 ) + 19.6 = 39.2 N

A typical laboratory centrifuge rotates at 3700 rpm . Test tubes have to be placed into a centrifuge very carefully because of t
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration of test tube

= ω² R

= (2πn)² R

= 4π²n²R

n = no of rotation per second

= 3700 / 60

= 61.67

R = .10 m

acceleration

= 4π²n²R

= 4 x 3.14² x 61.67² x .10

= 14999 N Approx
