A block whose weight is 45 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36 N is applied to the block. The coefficient of

kinetic and static friction are 0.65 and 0.42, respectively. Will the block move under the influence of the force, and if so, what will be the blocks acceleration?

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

For the block to move, it must first overcome the static friction.

Fs = N μs

Fs = (45 N) (0.42)

Fs = 18.9 N

This is less than the 36 N applied, so the block will move.  Since the block is moving, kinetic friction takes over.  To find the block's acceleration, use Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − N μk = ma

36 N − (45 N) (0.65) = (45 N / 9.8 m/s²) a

6.75 N = 4.59 kg a

a = 1.47 m/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the block's acceleration is 1.5 m/s².

Usually the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.  You might want to double check the problem statement, just to be sure.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

A weightlifter raises a 50kg weight to a height of 2m in 2 minutes. What was the power spent by the weightlifter?
belka [17]

Answer:

117.72kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 50kg

height x = 2m

time taken = 2 minutes= 129 seconds

let us find the work done

WD= force * distance

WD= mgx

WD= 50*9.81*2

WD= 981 Joules

Let us find the power

Power= work * time

Power= 981*120

Power= 117720

Power= 117.72 kW

Hence the power spent is 117.72kW

What is a neutron start?
nataly862011 [7]

neutron star is formed when the core of a star, that was one ginormous, collapse on its own mass thus it loses it's volume exponentially (y=a^x) while the mass of the star decreases linearly (y=mx+c) thus the neutron star has mass of 10 to 29 sun in the radius of 10 km( for scale earth has 6731 km) thus it's density is super high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope it helps you! ;)

A spring with a mass on the end of it hangs in equilibrium a distance of 0.4200 m above the floor. The mass is pulled down a dis
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.48 m

Explanation:

I'm assuming that this takes place in an ideal situation, where we neglect a host of factors such as friction, weight of the spring and others

If the mass is hanging from equilibrium at 0.42 m above the floor, from the question, and it is then pulled 0.06 m below that particular position. This pulling is a means of adding more energy into the spring, when it is released, the weight compresses the spring and equals its distance (i.e, 0.06 m) above the height.

0.42 m + 0.06 m = 0.48 m

At the highest point thus, the height is 0.48 m above the ground.
