False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Answer:
x = 0.6034 m
Explanation:
Given
L = 5 m
Wplank = 225 N
Wman = 522 N
d = 1.1 m
x = ?
We have to take sum of torques about the right support point. If the board is just about to tip, the normal force from the left support will be going to zero. So the only torques come from the weight of the plank and the weight of the man.
∑τ = 0 ⇒ τ₁ + τ₂ = 0
Torque come from the weight of the plank = τ₁
Torque come from the weight of the man = τ₂
⇒ τ₁ = + (5 - 1.1)*(225/5)*((5 - 1.1)/2) - (1.1)*(225/5)*((1.1)/2) = 315 N-m (counterclockwise)
⇒ τ₂ = Wman*x = 522 N*x (clockwise)
then
τ₁ + τ₂ = (315 N-m) + (- 522 N*x) = 0
⇒ x = 0.6034 m
The correct answers are <span>starting friction and </span>static friction
Friction slows down all forces, but starting friction slows down or stops completely the start of motion.
