What velocity will it take to slingshot a planet with 9.8m/s gravity

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print $A=0.5m^2$

Area of both the foot $A=2\times 0.5=1m^2$

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure $P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2$

So the pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$ when person stands on both feet.

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff

stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ = 0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

$\sum f_y =0$

The upward force and the downward force is :

$N_A+N_B = mg$

where;

$\mathbf { N_A \ and \ N_B}$ are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

$N_A+N_B = 45*9.8$

$N_A+N_B = 441$ ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

$\sum f_x = 0$

$F_A +F_B = P$

where ;

$\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B }$ are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

$\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B = P$

$\mu_s( N_A + N_B) = P$

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at $N_A$ and it is shifted to $N_B$ :

Then:

$\sum M _B = 0$

$P*h = mg*0.24$

$h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}$

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

How do i figure out the net force of an object? explain please :)

Savatey [412]

Draw a free body diagram to help you visualize. draw the object and use arrows to label and determine where all the forces acting upon it will be. then u add up the sum of all forces. if two forces of equal magnitude and opposite directions will cancel each other out.

Match each term to the best description

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Explanation:

Let's define all the forces, and then let's solve the problem.

Normal force:

When an object rests on some place (like a book on the table) the force that causes the book to not fall through the table is called the normal force, which is usually equal to the weight of the object and acts perpendicular to the surface where the object is resting.

Friction force.

When an object moves (or tries to move) parallel to a surface, such that the object is in contact with that surface, there appears a force that opposes to the movement (the force is parallel to the surface, and in the opposite direction to the movement).

And this force can be written as:

F = -N*μ

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

If the object is not moving yet (but there is applied a force that would move the object) the coefficient is called the coefficient of static friction which increases in a given range, until it can't keep increasing and the object starts to move, while if the object is moving, the coefficient is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and it is constant, where usually the first one is larger than the second, and these coefficients depend on both materials, the surface one and the object one.

Then we have two friction forces, one called the kinetic friction and the other called the static friction.

Then:

Coefficient of friction = Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value
