The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force

P. A small cube (mass = 4.3 kg) is in contact with the front surface of the large cube and will slide downward unless P is sufficiently large. The coefficient of static friction between the cubes is 0.710. What is the smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward?

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. the helicopter flies for
igomit [66]

Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}

\Rightarrow g_2=35 gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

MatroZZZ [7]

Responder:

6.704 m / s

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando la fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva. Primero necesitamos calcular la distancia recorrida por el perro usando la fórmula del trabajo realizado.

Trabajo realizado = Fuerza × distancia

Distancia = Trabajo realizado / Fuerza

Distancia = W / mg

S = 176/8 × 9,81

S = 176 / 78,48

S = 2,24 m

Dada la velocidad inicial u = 3.6km / h

Convertir a m / s

= 3.6km × 1000m / 1h × 3600

= 3600/3600

= 1 m / s

u = 1 m / s

Usando la ecuación de movimiento

v² = u² + 2gS para obtener la velocidad final v:

v² = 1² + 2 (9,81) (2,24)

v² = 1 + 43,9488

v² = 44,9488

v = √44,9488

v = 6,704 m / s

Por tanto, la rapidez final del perro es de 6,704 m / s
