Two rocks are moving through empty space in a straight line at the same speed. One has a mass of 10 kg, the other has a mass of

50 kg. Which statement about the rocks is true?
A.
Both will be stopped by the same amount of force acting against them.



B.
The one with less mass takes more force to stop.



C.
The one with greater mass takes more force to stop.



D.
Both will stop on their own without any force acting on them.

A and D are definitely wrong because the two rocks have different masses, so it leaves us with B and C. The most logical answer to the question is
C <span>The one with greater mass takes more force to stop.

Answer:

1.129×10⁻⁵ N

1.295 m

Explanation:

Take right to be positive.  Sum of forces on the 31.8 kg mass:

∑F = GM₁m / r₁² − GM₂m / r₂²

∑F = G (M₁ − M₂) m / r²

∑F = (6.672×10⁻¹¹ N kg²/m²) (516 kg − 207 kg) (31.8 kg) / (0.482 m / 2)²

∑F = 1.129×10⁻⁵ N

Repeating the same steps, but this time ∑F = 0 and we're solving for r.

∑F = GM₁m / r₁² − GM₂m / r₂²

0 = GM₁m / r₁² − GM₂m / r₂²

GM₁m / r₁² = GM₂m / r₂²

M₁ / r₁² = M₂ / r₂²

516 / r² = 207 / (0.482 − r)²

516 (0.482 − r)² = 207 r²

516 (0.232 − 0.964 r + r²) = 207 r²

119.9 − 497.4 r + 516 r² = 207 r²

119.9 − 497.4 r + 309 r² = 0

r = 0.295 or 1.315

r can't be greater than 0.482, so r = 0.295 m.

A man attempts to push a 19.8 kg crate across a warehouse floor. He slowly increases the force until the crate starts to move at
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

 μ = 0.18

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second Law, the coordinate system is horizontal and vertical

Before starting to move the box

Y axis

     N-W = 0

     N = W = mg

X axis

     F -fr = 0

     F = fr

The friction force has the formula

     fr = μ N

     fr =  μ m g

At the limit point just before starting the movement

     F = μ m g

     μ = F / m g

calculate

      μ = 34.8 / (19.8 9.8)

    μ = 0.18

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.
