Answer:

a = 1.764m/s^2

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, the net force is F = ma.

The equation for friction is F(k) = F(n) * μ.

In this case, the normal force is simply F(n) = mg due to no other external forces being specified

F(n) = mg = 15kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147N.

F(k) = F(n) * μ = 147N * 0.18 = 26.46N.

Assuming the object is on a horizontal surface, the force due to gravity and the normal force will cancel each other out, leaving our net force as only the frictional one.

Thus, F(net) = F(k) = ma

26.46N = 15kg * a

a = 1.764m/s^2

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 0.55[sg]; v = 0.9[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must establish the initial conditions with which we can work.

y = initial elevation = - 1.5 [m]

x = landing distance = 0.5 [m]

We set "y" with a negative value, as this height is below the table level.

in the following equation (vy)o is equal to zero because there is no velocity in the y component.

therefore:

$y = (v_{y})_{o}*t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}\\ where:\\(v_{y})_{o}=0[m/s]\\t = time [sg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[\frac{m}{s^{2}}]\\ -1.5 = 0*t -4.905*t^{2} \\t = \sqrt{\frac{1.5}{4.905} } \\t=0.55[s]$

Now we can find the initial velocity, It is important to note that the initial velocity has velocity components only in the x-axis.

$(v_{x} )_{o} = \frac{x}{t} \\(v_{x} )_{o} = \frac{0.5}{0.55} \\(v_{x} )_{o} =0.9[m/s]$

Why can a device never be 100% efficient? Explain.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

No machine is free from the effects of gravity, and even with wonderful lubrication, friction always exists. The energy a machine produces is always less than the energy put into it (energy input). ... That is why 100% efficiency in machines shall not be possible.
