A man weighing 180 lbf pushes a block weighing 100 lbf along a horizontal plane. the dynamic coefficient of friction between the

block and plane is 0.2. assuming that the block moves at a constant speed, how much work is required to move the block 100 ft considering the (a) the block and (b) the man as the system.

The first thing you should know is that the work is defined as:
 W = F * d
 Where
 F = force
 d = displacement
 We have then
 (a) the block
 F = (0.2) * (100) = 20
 d = 100
 W = (20) * (100) = 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) the man as the system.
 F = (0.2) * (100 + 180) = 56
 d = 100
 W = (56) * (100) = 5600 ft.lbf
 answer:
 (a) 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) 5600 ft.lbf

Hooke’s law describes the linear relationship between stress and strain through Young’s modulus. Given two materials under the s
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The material with higher modulus will stretch less than

The material with lower modulus

Explanation:

A material with a higher modulus is stiffer and has better resistance to deformation. The modulus is defined as the force per unit area required to produce a deformation or in other words the ratio of stress to strain.

E= stress/stain

Hooks law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded the extension e of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached

F=ke

Where k is the constant which gives the measure of the spring under tension

A. In one short sentence, explain why we call the force of gravity an attractive force.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The force of gravity is called an attractive force because it is the force (although weak) in which a planetary body or matter uses to attract an object towards itself.

(b) Yes, it does and the formula for force of gravity between any two object is

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r}

where m1 and m2 are masses of the first and second object respectively

r is the distance between the center of the two masses

G is the gravitational constant

How much force (in Newtons) acts on a 1700 kg car going around a
Daniel [21]

Answer:

b) 4781 N

Explanation:

Because there is a redius do this question is talking about the acceleration force which= mv^2/r

so a=15^2/80=2.8125 m^2/s

so the force will be = m.a

F =1700×2.8125=4781.25 N
