Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction between mA and the plane in the figure(Figure 1) is μk = 0.15, and that mA=mB=2.7kg.
luda_lava [24]
A ) 
T = mB g + mB a
T + mA a - mA g sin 35° = (Mi) mA g cos 35°
------------------------------------------------------------
T = 2.7 · 9.81  + 2.7 a
T = 26.487 + 2.7 a
26.487 + 2.7 a + 2.7 a - 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.574 = 0.15 · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
5.4 a + 26.487 - 15.2023 = 3.2539
5.4 a = 8.0296
a = 1.487 ≈ 1.5 m/s²
B )
T = 2,7 · 9.81 = 26.487 
26.487 - 15.2035 = (Mi) · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
11.2835 = (Mi) · 21.69
(Mi) = 11.2835 : 21.69 = 0.52

A train reaches a speed of 35.0 m/s after accelerating at a rate of 5.00 m/s2 over a distance of 40.0 m. What was the train’s in
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, V = 35m/s

Acceleration, a = 5m/s²

Distance, S = 40m

To find the initial velocity (U), we would use the third equation of motion.

V² = U² + 2aS

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

35² = U + 2*5*40

1225 = U² + 400

U² = 1225 - 400

U² = 825

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Initial velocity, U = 28.73m/s

A student moves a box across the floor by exerting 56.7 N of force and doing 195 J of
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A. 3.4 m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

Workdone = force * distance

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

Distance = \frac {workdone}{force}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Distance = \frac {195}{56.7}

Distance = 3.4 meters.

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N
