In pushing a heavy box across the floor, is the force you need to apply to start the box moving greater than, less than, or the

same as the force needed to keep the box moving? On what are you basing your choice?
How do you think the force of friction is related to the weight of the box? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

Force needed to apply start the box is greater than the force needed to keep it moving because static friction is greater than the kinetic friction .

A  threshold force is needed to move the box and when box started to move kinetic friction comes into play.      

Friction force is directly related to the weight of the box as the friction force is

coefficient of friction time Normal reaction .

And Normal reaction is equal to the weight of box if no force is applied.

f_r=\mu N

N=mg

A house brick has a volume of 1900 cm³ and a weight in air of 80N.What is its apparent weight in water?The density of water is 1
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

61 N

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the brick when placed in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of brick = 1900 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of brick in water =…?

Density = mass / volume

1 = mass of brick in water / 1900

Cross multiply

Mass of brick in water = 1 × 1900

Mass of brick in water = 1900 g

Next, we shall convert 1900 g to Kg.

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

1900 g = 1900 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

1900 g = 1.9 Kg

Next, we shall determine the weight in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 1.9 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = m × g

W = 1.9 × 10

W = 19 N

Thus, the weight of the brick in water is 19 N.

Finally, we shall determine the apparent weight of the brick in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight in air = 80 N

Weight in water = 19 N

Apparent weight =?

Apparent weight = weight in air – weight in water

Apparent weight = 80 – 19

Apparent weight = 61 N

Small rockets are used to make small adjustments in the speed of satellites. One such rocket has a thrust of 42 N. If it is fire
Over [174]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}

Replacing,

a =\frac{42N}{83000kg}

a =5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2

The total speed change

\Delta v = v_f -v_0 \rightarrow v_f =\text{Final velocity and } v_0 = \text{Initial velocity } we have that the value is 0.71m/s

If we know that acceleration is the change of speed in a fraction of time,

a= \frac{\Delta v}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{\Delta v}{a}

We have that,

t= \frac{0.71m/s}{5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2 }

t = 1403.16s

Therefore the Rocket should be fired around to 1403.16s

Calvert likes to paddle around in his canoe. One day it sprung a leak and started to fill with water. Luckily, Calvert was able
kari74 [83]

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.
