Yosemite Sam was sailing his ship at a speed of 67 m/s when suddenly a storm accelerated his boat at a rate of 5.4 m/s^2 over a

time period of 55s. What was Sam’s final velocity ? What formula must be used?

Answer: vf= 364 m/s

Explanation: Use the formula for acceleration:

a= vf - vi / t

Derive for vf:

vf =( at )+ vi

= 5.4 m/s² ( 55s) + 67 m/s

= 364 m/s

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

Mariana [72]

a) $F=\frac{\mu_k mg}{cos \theta - \mu_k sin \theta}$

Here the crate is moving at constant velocity, so no acceleration:

a = 0

Let's analyze the forces acting along the horizontal and vertical direction.

- Vertical direction: the equation of the forces is

$R-Fsin \theta - mg = 0$ (1)

where

R is the normal reaction of the floor (upward)

$F sin \theta$ is the component of the force F in the vertical direction (downward)

mg is the weight of the crate (downward)

- Horizontal direction: the equation of the forces is

$F cos \theta - \mu_k R = 0$ (2)

where

$F cos \theta$ is the horizontal component of the force F (forward)

$\mu_k R$ is the force of friction (backward)

From (1) we get

$R=Fsin \theta +mg$

And substituting into (2)

$F cos \theta - \mu_k (Fsin \theta +mg) = 0\\F cos \theta -\mu _k F sin \theta = \mu_k mg\\F(cos \theta - \mu_k sin \theta) = \mu_k mg\\F=\frac{\mu_k mg}{cos \theta - \mu_k sin \theta}$

b) $\mu_s=cot(\theta)$

In this second case, the crate is still at rest, so we have to consider the static force of friction, not the kinetic one.

The equations of the forces will be:

$R-Fsin \theta - mg = 0$ (1)

$F cos \theta - \mu_s R = 0$ (2)

In this second case, we want to find the critical value of $\mu_s$ such that the woman cannot start the crate: this means that the force of friction must be at least equal to the component of the force pushing on the horizontal direction, $F cos \theta$ .

Therefore, using the same procedure as before,

$R=Fsin \theta +mg$

$F cos \theta - \mu_s (Fsin \theta +mg) = 0$

And solving for $\mu_s$ ,

$F cos \theta = \mu_s (Fsin \theta +mg) \\\mu_s = \frac{F cos \theta}{F sin \theta + mg}$

Now we analyze the expression that we found. We notice that if the force applied F is very large, $F sin \theta >> mg$ , therefore we can rewrite the expression as

$\mu_s \sim \frac{F cos \theta}{F sin \theta}\\\mu_s=cot(\theta)$

So, this is the critical value of the coefficient of static friction.

At the same moment, one rock is thrown upward at 4.5 m/s and another thrown downward at 6.2 m/s. What is the relative velocity o

erastova [34]

The correct answer is
<span>C) -10.7 m/s

In fact, the first rock is moving upward with velocity +4.5 m/s, while the second rock is moving downward with velocity -6.2 m/s, with respect to a fixed reference frame. In the reference frame of the first rock, instead, the second rock is moving with velocity equal to its velocity in the fixed frame minus the velocity of the reference frame of the first rock:
</span> $v=-6.2 m/s -(+4.5 m/s) = -10.7 m/s$ <span>
