C. the hockey puck will accelerate and continue moving in a straight line
Answer:
- apples falling from trees
- people's feet touching the ground
- sky divers moving toward the ground
- balls bending downward after being thrown
Explanation:
When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.
This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.
Answer:
The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N
Explanation:
Given data,
The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg
You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N
The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8
The formula for static frictional force is,
Fₓ = μₓ · η
Where,
η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'
Substituting the values in the above equation,
Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8
= 180.32 N
Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N
