Why is it easier to slide a heavy box over a floor that it is to start it sliding in the first place?

Answer:

This is because of the inertia of the object.

Explanation:

This is because of the inertia of the object.

When you push a static object you must overcome the static friction force of the object. Once you have overcome the static friction the inertia law demands that the object tend to conserve its motion. That is the reason why you need less force when the object is already in motion. In other words, the inertia gained by the object with the initial force, "helps" you with the work of moving the object. This is also the reason why the kinetic friction of an object in motion over a surface is lower than the static friction.

Laurie is moving a dresser with a mass of 250 kg. She does 126 J of work with a force if 14 N. How far does she move the dresser
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: 9 m

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when an unbalanced force causes displacement of the body.

Force is the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a).

Work = Force × Displacement

⇒W = F.s = ma.s

It is given that mass of the dresser is, m = 250 kg

work done, W = 126 J

Force acting on the dresser, F = 14 N

we need to find displacement, s

⇒126 J = 14 N × s

⇒ s = 126 J/ 14 N = 9 m

Hence, Laurie is able to move the dresser to about 9 m.

Two blocks with a mass of 2 kg collide in an elastic collision. The initial velocity of Block 1 is 10 m/s. Block 2 is traveling
pentagon [3]

Answer:

p = 20 kg•m/s

KE = 100 J

Explanation:

In an elastic collision of identical masses, the two masses will exchange momentums. Therefore Block 1 initially moving at 10 m/s will be moving at 2 m/s, and Block 2 will go from 2 m/s to 10 m/s

momentum = mv = 2(10) = 20 kg•m/s

KE = ½mv² = ½(2)10² = 100 J

Unfortunately, your answer selection does not have this answer as an option.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

A. 59.4

Explanation:

The refractive index of the glass, n₁ = 1.50

The angle of incidence of the light, θ₁ = 35°

The refractive index of air, n₂ = 1.0

Snell's law states that n₁·sin(θ₁) = n₂·sin(θ₂)

Where;

θ₂ = The angle of refraction of the light, which is the angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air

Therefore;

θ₂ = arcsin(n₁·sin(θ₁)/n₂)

Plugging in the values of n₁, n₂ and θ₁ gives;

θ₂ = arcsin(1.50 × sin(35°)/1.0) ≈ 59.357551° ≈ 59.4°

The angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air, θ₂ ≈ 59.4°.

A jet transport with a landing speed of 200 km/h reduces its speed to 60 km/h with a negative thrust R from its jet thrust rever
Amanda [17]

Answer:

257 kN.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information in the following questions;

=> "A jet transport with a landing speed

= 200 km/h reduces its speed to = 60 km/h with a negative thrust R from its jet thrust reversers"

= > The distance = 425 m along the runway with constant deceleration."

=> "The total mass of the aircraft is 140 Mg with mass center at G. "

We are also give that the "aerodynamic forces on the aircraft are small and may be neglected at lower speed"

Step one: determine the acceleration;

=> Acceleration = 1/ (2 × distance along runway with constant deceleration) × { (landing speed A)^2 - (landing speed B)^2 × 1/(3.6)^2.

=> Acceleration = 1/ (2 × 425) × (200^2 - 60^2) × 1/(3.6)^2 = 3.3 m/s^2.

Thus, "the reaction N under the nose wheel B toward the end of the braking interval and prior to the application of mechanical braking" = The total mass of the aircraft × acceleration × 1.2 = 15N - (9.8 × 2.4 × 140).

= 140 × 3.3× 1.2 = 15N - (9.8 × 2.4 × 140).

= 257 kN.
