You calculate that the maximum static friction is 420N. If you apply 500N of force, will the couch slide?

1 answer:

5 0

Assuming that the entirety of the force is opposite the static friction, then the couch should begin sliding as the applied force overcomes the couch's static friction with what it's making contact with.

A girl pulls on a 10-kg wagon with a constant horizontal force of 30 N. If there are no other horizontal forces, what is the wag

strojnjashka [21]

Force equals mass*distance
F = ma

Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N

30 = 10a
30/10 = a
3 = a

The wagon's acceleration is 3 m/s^2

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there

notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where

t is time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h$

So, the required time is 2 hours.

A frictionless pendulum is made with a bob of mass 19.7 kg. The bob is held at height = 0.934 meter above the bottom of its traj

Alika [10]

Answer:

265 J

Explanation:

$Energy=PE+KE=mgh+ 0.5mv^{2}$ where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

$Energy=19.7(9.81*0.934+0.5*2.93^{2})=265.063303\approx 265 J$
