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.

Using newtons second law of motion, how fast for 100 KG object accelerates 350 N of force is applied to

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.5m/s^2

Explanation:

From Newton's second Law of Motion

F = ma

Where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

F = 350 N

Mass = 100kg

350N = 100×a

a = 350/100

a = 3.5m/s^2

The acceleration of the object will be 3.5m/s^2

A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i

Ket [755]

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

V is the final velocity after collision. Here, V = 0 as both players comes to rest after collision.

$v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=-\dfrac{88\ kg\times 2\ m/s}{120\ kg}$

$v_2=-1.47\ m/s$

So, the speed of another player is 1.47 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
