Mary applies a force of 70 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.50 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 78 N, the

box's acceleration changes to 0.68 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box.
(a) What is the mass of the box in kilograms?
(b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box?

Answer:

The answers are: a) m = 44.44 kg; b) μ = 0.1097

Explanation:

a)

we have the following data:

F = applied force

f = friction force

F - f = net force = ma

F1 = 70 N

a1 = 0.5 m/s^2

F2 = 78 N

a2 = 0.68 m/s^2

F1 - f = ma1

F2 - f = ma2

Subtracting the second equation from the first equation:

F1 - F2 = m(a1 - a2)

m = (F1 - F2)/(a1 - a2) = (70 - 78)/(0.5 - 0.68) = 44.44 kg

b)

f = μmg

F1 - μmg = ma1

Clearing μ:

μ = (F1 - ma1)/(mg) = [70 - (44.44*0.5)]/[44.44*9.8] = 0.1097

the weight of 80 kg of mass on mercury is 296 N and almost identical to the weight of the same mass on Mars but mercury has much
Dmitrij [34]
Where Gravity rely's on only mass and distance and nothing else, so the weight on the planets will vary like you have stated. However Mars is smaller than Mercury, so the weight on Mars will be less, and the weight on Mercury will be more. Think this way.

More Mass = More Gravity = More Weight

Less Mass = Less Gravity = Less Weight
