Refer to the diagram shown below.

When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.

At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Answer:  
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

4. A box of books weighing 325 N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exer
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.61°

Explanation:

Since the box move at constant velocity, it means there is no acceleration then we can say it has a balanced force system.

Pulling force= resistance force

From the formula for pulling force,

F(x)= Fcos(θ)

= 425×cos(35.2)

=347N

The force exerted downward at an angle of 35.2° below the horizontal= Fsin(θ)= 425sin(35.2)

=425×0.567=245N

Resistance force= (325N+ 245N) (α)= 570N(α)

We can now equates the pulling force to resistance force

570 (α)= 347N

(α)= 347/570

= 0.61

Estimate how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m high). Express your a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

It will take 8.80 sec to fall from the building

Explanation:

We have given height pf the state building h = 380 m

Initial velocity will be 0 m /sec

So u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the fall time

According to second equation of motion h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

So 380=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t^2=77.55

t = 8.80 sec
