Answer: 9.6kg

Explanation:

According to research, a person with compromised strength in his finger can apply a normal force of 6N to either side of a pinch held object like a notebook.

Since the person is holding onto to the book vertically, the force applied on both sides of the book slightly is 6 + 6 = 12N.

If the coefficient of friction of the surface between the finger and the book cover is given as 0.80.

From the relationship,

F = uR, u is the frictional force, R is the slight resultant force exerted on both side of the book.

Therefore,

F = 0.8 × 12 = 9.6N

The max mass of book this person can hold onto vertically before it slip off his finger will be derived from the formula

F = Mg

If we take acceleration due to gravity as 10m/s², and make M the subject of formula, we have

M = F/g = 9.6/10 = 0.96kg.

Answer: The mass of the heaviest book the person can hold is 0.0157 kilogram

Explanation:

From Force F = Coefficient of friction * length

Note, average length of human fingers is 7.6inches = 0.19304 meters

F= 0.8 *0.19304

F= 0.1544 N

But F = mass m * acceleration g

Mass m = F/g

m = 0.1544/9.81

m = 0.0157 kg

A 1000 kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1m/s, heading toward a group of small innocent children.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The force is -1620.73 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1000 kg

Velocity = 1 m/s

Distance = 2 m

Angle = 30°

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of work done

W_{net}=K_{f}-K_{i}

F\times d=K_{f}-K_{i}

Fd\cos\theta=-K_{i}

F=\dfrac{-K_{f}}{d\cos\theta}

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{d\cos\theta}

Put the value into the formula

F=-\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(1)^2}{2\times\cos30}

F=-1620.73\ N

Hence, The force is -1620.73 N.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is "telescopes".

Explanation:

Throughout ancient times, astronomical observatories have indeed been available, and so many historical locations were reserved for astronomical observations. All contemporary astronomers lacked within those older telescopes were lenses until 1610. A telescope is indeed an instrument used to view far-off objects. Telescopes often are being used to look at planets and stars.
