Answer:
<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>
Explanation:
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.
Answer:
+7.0 m/s
Explanation:
Let's take rightward as positive direction.
So in this problem we have:
a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)
t = 4 s time interval
v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)
We can use the following equation:
v = u + at
Where u is the initial velocity
We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.
Answer:
Explanation:
A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium
T = mg
= 63 x 9.81
= 618.03 N
B )
When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.
T = mg
= 618.03 N
C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2
Net force on it = T - mg , acting in upward direction
T - mg = m a
T = mg + m a
= m ( g + a )
= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)
= 655.83 N
D ) If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2
Net force acting in downward direction
mg - T = ma
T = m ( g - a )
= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )
= 580.23 N
Answer:
static coefficient = 0,203 & kinetic coefficient = 0,14
Explanation:
There are two (2) conditions, when the desk is about to move and when the desk is moving. In the attachements you can see the two free body diagram for each condition.
In the first condition, there is no movement and the force is 12 N, in the image we can see the total forces are equal to 0 and by the definition of the friction force we can get the static friction coefficient.
In the second condition there is movement in the direction of the force which is equal to 8 N, again by the definition of the friction force we can get the kinetic friction coefficient. Since the desk is moving with constant velocity there is not acceleration.
