A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) No acceleration in the vertical

c) 35N

d) 35N

e) 8.75\ m/sec^2

Explanation:

a) The situation can be shown in the free body diagram shown in the figure below where F is the applied force, Fr is the friction force, W is the weight of the book and N is the normal force exerted vertically up from the desk to the book

b) The vertical movement is restrained by the normal force which opposes to the weight. In absence of any other force, they both are in equilibrium and the net force is zero

c) The net horizontal force acting on the book is the vectorial sum of the applied force and the friction force. Since they lie in the same axis and are opposed to each other:

Fh_{net}=F-F_r=50 N - 15N=35N

d) The net force acting on the book is the vector sum of all forces in all axes. The normal and the weight cancel each other in the y-axis, so our resulting force is the x-axis net force, computed as above:

F_n=35N in the x-axis

e) Following Newton's second law, the acceleration is calculated as

a=\frac{F_t}{m}=\frac{35N}{4Kg}=8.75m/sec^2

A projectile of mass m is fired straight upward from the surface of an airless planet of radius R and mass M with an initial spe
motikmotik

Answer:

K = G Mm / 9R

Explanation:

Expression for escape velocity V_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Kinetic energy at the surface = 1/2 m V_e ²

= 1/2 x m x 2GM/R

GMm/R

Potential energy at the surface

= - GMm/R

Total energy = 0

At height 9R ( 8R from the surface )

potential energy

= - G Mm / 9R

Kinetic energy = K

Total energy will be zero according to law of conservation of mechanical energy

so

K  - G Mm / 9R = 0

K = G Mm / 9R

An athlete whose mass is 87.0 kg is performing weight-lifting exercises. Starting from the rest position, he lifts, with constan
expeople1 [14]

Answer: X = 52,314.12 N

Explanation: Let X be the force the feet of the athlete exerts on the floor.

According to newton's third law of motion the floor gives an upward reaction based on the weight of the athlete and the barbell which is known as the normal reaction ( based on the mass of the athlete and the barbell)

Mass of athlete = 87kg, mass of barbell = 600/ hence total normal reaction from the floor = 87* 61.22/ 9.8 *9.8 = 52,200N.

The athlete lifts the barbell from rest thus making it initial velocity u=0, distance covered = S = 0.65m and the time taken = 1.3s

The acceleration of the barbell is gotten by using the equation of constant acceleration motion

S= ut + 1/2at²

But u = 0

S = 1/2at²

0.65 = 1/2 *a (1.3)²

0.65 = 1.69 * a/2

0.65 * 2 = 1.69 * a

a = 0.65 * 2/ 1.69

a = 0.77m/s²

According to newton's second law of motion

Resultant force = mass * acceleration

And resultant force in this case is

X - 52,200 = (87 + 61.22) * 0.77

X - 52,200 = 148.22 * 0.77

X - 52, 200 = 114.132

X = 114.132 + 52,200

X = 52,314.12 N

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?
katrin2010 [14]
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
