A box with a mass of 70 kg sits on a slope of 40 degrees. you are tasked with pushing the box up the slope. the static (stationa

ry) coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is 0.55, and the kinematic (while moving) coefficient of friction is 0.35.
a. what is the minimum force required to keep the box from slipping?
b. what is the minimum force required to begin pushing the box up the slope?
c. what is the minimum force required to maintain the box moving up the slope?
d. what is the force required to accelerate the box up the slope at 0.65 m/s2 once it is already moving upwards? give your answers in newtons (n).

PART a)

Force of friction on the box is given by formula

F_f = \mu mg cos\theta

F_f = 0.55 * 70 * 9.8 * cos40

F_f = 289 N

now the component of weight along the inclined

F_g = mgsin40

F_g = 70*9.8 * sin40

F_g = 441 N

now by force balance the force required to hold the block

F_{net} = F_g - F_f

F_{net} = 441 - 289 = 152 N

Part b)

to slide the block upwards the friction force will be upwards along the plane

F = F_g + F_f

F = 441 + 289 = 730 N

Part c)

Kinetic friction on the block is given by

F_k = \mu_k mg cos\theta

F_k = 0.35 * 70 * 9.8 * cos40

F_k = 184 N

now in order to move it up

F = F_g + F_k

F = 441 + 184

F = 625 N

Part d)

now to accelerate upwards by 0.65 m/s^2 we can use

F - F_g - F_k = ma

F - 441 - 184 = 70* 0.65

F = 670.5 N

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

Lorico [155]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

a = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}

da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

F_w = ma

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

dF_W = mda

dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)

dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})

dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})

dF_W = -0.3N

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.
