The mass on the left has a downslope weight of  

W1 = 3.5kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 19.7 N  

The mass on the right has a downslope weight of  

W2 = 8kg * 9.8m/s² * sin35º = 45.0 N  

The net is 25.3 N pulling downslope to the right.  

(a) Therefore we need 25.3 N of friction force.  

Ff = 25.3 N = µ(m1 + m2)gcosΘ = µ * 11.5kg * 9.8m/s² * cos35º  

25.3N = µ * 92.3 N  

µ = 0.274  

(b) total mass is 11.5 kg, and the net force is 25.3 N, so  

acceleration a = F / m = 25.3N / 11.5kg = 2.2 m/s²  

tension T = 8kg * (9.8sin35 - 2.2)m/s² = 27 N  

Check: T = 3.5kg * (9.8sin35 + 2.2)m/s² = 27 N √

hope this helps.   :)

What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 50kg and is and it is traveling at a rate of 60m/s.
liq [111]

Answer:

90,000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where <em>m </em>is the mass in kilograms and <em>v</em> is the velocity in m/s.

We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.

<em>m</em>=50

<em>v</em>=60

Substitute these values into the formula.

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*60^2

First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.

60^2=60*60=3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*50*3,600

Multiply 50 and 3,600

KE=\frac{1}{2}*180,000

Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.

KE=90,000

Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.

KE=90,000 Joules

The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules
