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.

REY [17]

Answer:

   F = 196 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law,  we define a reference system with the x axis in the direction of movement of the stones and the y axis vertically

Y axis  

       N- W = 0

       N = mg

X axis

       F -fr = ma

In this case, they ask us for the force to keep moving, so the stones go at constant speed, which implies that the acceleration is zero.

       F- fr = 0

       F = fr

the friction force has the equation

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ mg

we substitute

        F = μ mg

let's calculate

         F = 0.80 9.8 25

         F = 196 N

Is a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth ? Whay do you say?
KATRIN_1 [288]
I would say yes, a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth. Base on articles, it is the end of the world if that happens. <span>Some people believe global cataclysm will occur when Earth's magnetic poles reverse. When north goes south, they say, the continents will lurch in one direction or the other, triggering massive earthquakes, rapid climate change and species extinctions.</span>

A certain 60.0 Hz AC power line radiates an electromagnetic wave having a maximum electric field strength of 11.6 kV/m.
yuradex [85]

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of the power line, f = 6 Hz

Value of maximum electric field strength of 11.6 kV/m

(a) The wavelength of this very low frequency electromagnetic wave is given by using relation as :

c=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{60\ Hz}

\lambda=5\times 10^6\ m

(b) As its can be seen that the wavelength of this wave is very high. It shows that it is a radio wave.

(c) The relation between the maximum magnetic field strength and maximum electric field strength is given by :

B_0=\dfrac{E_0}{c}\\\\B_0=\dfrac{11.6\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B_0=3.86\times 10^{-5}\ T

So, the maximum magnetic field strength is 3.86\times 10^{-5}\ T.

A girl swings on a playground swing in such a way that at her highest point she is 4.1 m from the ground, while at her lowest po
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

V1 =8.1 m/s

Explanation:

height at highest point (h2) = 4.1 m

height at lowest point (h1) = 0.8 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

from conservation of energy, the total energy at the lowest point will be the same as the total energy at the highest point. therefore

mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2 + 0.5mV2^{2}

where

  • speed at highest point = V2
  • speed at lowest point = V1
  • mass of the girl and swing = m
  • at the highest point, the  speed is minimum (V1 = 0)
  • at the lowest point the speed is maximum (V2 is the maximum speed)
  • therefore the equation becomes mgh1 + 0.5mV1^{2} = mgh2

      m(gh1 + 0.5V1^{2}) = m(gh2)

      gh1 + 0.5V1^{2} = gh2

      V1 = \sqrt{\frac{gh2 - gh1}{0.5}}

now we can substitute all required values into the equation above.

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{(9.8x4.1) - (9.8x0.8)}{0.5}}

V1 = \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.5}}

V1 =8.1 m/s
