A stubborn, 100 kgkg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around

the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 NN . The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are μsμsmu_s = 0.80 and μk=0.5μk=0.5.
Is the farmer able to move the mule?

Answer:

No, the farmer is not able to move the mule.

Explanation:

Mass =100 kg

Force=F=800 N

The coefficient between the mule and the ground=\mu_s=0.8

\mu_k=0.5

Static friction force,f=\mu N

Normal force=N=mg

Static friction force,f=\mu_s mg=0.8\times 100\times 9.8=784 N

Using g=9.8m/s^2

F<f

Static friction force is greater than applied force.

Therefore , the farmer is not able to move the mule.

The forces acting on a child sitting in a seat are described by the free-body diagram shown. What is the net force acting on the
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The net force is 0 N.

To find the total net force, all you need to do is add the forces.

So 100 + -100 = 0

Most of these questions are trick questions, but if you know Newton's laws of forces, then you should know that all forces should cancel out with each other.

Hope this helps!!!

Three samples of gas each exert 740. mm Hg in separate 2 L containers. What pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a s
Usimov [2.4K]
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure exerted is simply equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Given that all three samples of gas each exert 740 mmHg, when they are placed in a single 2 L container, they exert a pressure of 2220 mmHg on the container which is the sum of their individual pressures.

How did rutherford’s experiment shape our current model of the atom?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before the Rutherford's model of the atom, the plum pudding model proposed by J.J Thomson through his experiment using the gas discharge tube was the prevalent structure of the atom known.

Through Thomson, it was widely and popularly believed that the atom is made up of a pool of negatively charged particles.

When Rutherford performed the Alpha scattering experiment using a thing gold foil, he observed that all the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil and just a few of them were deflected back.

To explain this, the suggested the atomic or nuclear model of that atom in which an atom has a small positively charged center called nucleus where all the mass is concentrated.

Today, the suggestion that an atom is made up of nucleus is highly relevant and still consistent.
