Answer:

a) frictional force  = 93.8 N

b) acceleration = 1.29 ms∧-2

Explanation:

The frictional force can be calculated by :

μ k   = Fk / N

where:

  • μ k = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.14
  • N= normal force or the force perpendicular to the contacting surface
  • Weight of the crate, W = mg = (67 × 10) == 670 N

take acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s∧2

The normal force , N = W = 670N ( upward force equals downward force)

Fk = μ k × N

= 0.14 × 670

Fk  = 93.8 N

b) To calculate the magnitude of crate's acceleration

F - Fk  = ma

where

  • Fk  = frictional force = 93.8N
  • F = horizontal force = 180 N
  • m = mass = 67.0 kg
  • a = magnitude of acceleration (unknown)

by substituting,

180 - 93.8 = 67a

86.2 = 67a

acceleration, a = (86.2 ÷ 67)

a = 1.29 ms∧-2

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

 T = 1.73 kg

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for this balance problem

We draw a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the Y axis perpendicular

The only force we have to lay down is the weight (W)

       Wx = W sin θ

       Wy = W cos θ

       Wx = 2.0 ain 60  

       Wx = 1.73 kg

       Wy = 2.0 cos 60

       Wy = 1.0 kg

Y Axis

      N-Wy = 0

X axis

      T- Wx = 0

      T = Wx

      T = 1.73 kg

Bezzdna [24]

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Why are there variations of traits within a population?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The variation and distribution of traits in a population depend on genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variation can result from mutations caused by environmental factors or errors in DNA replication, or from chromosomes swapping sections during meiosis.
