A block is moving at constant speed due to a horizontal force pulling to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction, Hk, bet

ween the block and the surface is 0.20 and the mag- nitude of the frictional force is 100.0 N, what is the weight of the block? (a 400 N (b) 600 N (c) 500 N (d) 267 N

Answer:

c) 500 N

Explanation:

If the block moves with constant speed there is no acceleration. We draw a free body diagram and define the forces on the body.

F_{f}=FrictionForce\\F_{e}=ExternalForce\\N=NormalForce\\W=Weight\\

The equation for the frictional force is:

F_{f}=N*H_{k}

Where H_{k} is the kinetic friction coefficient. We write the equilibrium equation in the y direcction:

\sum F_{y}\rightarrow N-W=0\\N=W

We replace this result in the equation for the frictional force:

F_{f}=W*H_{k}

We replace the data given by the exercise and find the weight

W=\frac{F_{f}}{H_{k}}\\W=\frac{100}{0.2}=500\: N

What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver who has opened his parachute and is now slowing down as he falls?
mote1985 [20]
The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.
