Answer:

Explanation:

Let the force required be F . It is applied at the top of the box . The box is likely to turn about a corner . Torque of this force about this corner

= F x 2

This torque will try to turn the box . On the other hand the weight which is acting at CM will create a torque about the same corner . This torque will try to prevent the box to turn around the corner.

This torque of weight

= 100 x 1

= 100 pound ft.

For equilibrium

Torque of F = torque of weight.

F x 2  = 100

F = 50 pounds .

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given:

Edge of the cubical box = 2 ft

weight of the box, F = 100 pounds

Horizontal force = T

As the box tip at the right bottom corner so take the moments of force about this point which are in equilibrium.

T x 2 = 100 x 1

T = 50 lb

Thus, the force T is 50 lb.

A computational model predicts the maximum potential energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass and its speed at the lo
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the coaster car, m = 350 kg

speed of the coaster car at the lowest point, v = 25 m/s

The coaster car will have maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point and based on law of conservation of mechanical energy, the maximum kinetic energy of the coaster car at the lowest point will be equal to maximum potential energy at the highest point.

K.E_{max} = P.E_{max}

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} (350)(25)^2\\\\K.E_{max} =109,375 \ J

Thus, P.E_{max} = 109,375 \ J

Therefore, the prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

a 28.7 KG sled is pulled forward with a 63 net force across the ground with MK equals 0.169 what is the acceleration of the sled
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.54\ \text{m/s}^2

Explanation:

F = Force on the sled = 63 N

m = Mass of sled = 28.7 kg

\mu_k = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.169

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

The force balance of the system is given by

F-\mu_k mg=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{F-\mu_k mg}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{63-0.169\times 28.7\times 9.81}{28.7}\\\Rightarrow a=0.54\ \text{m/s}^2

The acceleration of the sled is 0.54\ \text{m/s}^2.
