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 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)
AVprozaik [17]
The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time 
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives... 
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N. 
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

What object currently has the most gravitational potential energy?<br><br>A, B, C, or D​
eduard

Answer:

A

Explanation:

this because

gravitational potential energy = mass x height x gravitational field strength

so let's assume mass is 2 kg and gravitational field strength is 10 N /kg

so when height is very low, take it as 3 m

gravitational potential energy= 2 x 3 x 10 = 60 j

but when height is 6m

gravitational potential energy = 2 x 6 x 10 = 120 j

so when the height is the greatest, the gravitational potential energy is the highest

so A is the heighest so it has the highest gravitational potential energy.

hope this helps

please mark it brainliest :D
