Answer:
1.8 m
Explanation:
Given: Glass falls from a table, smashes 0.6 seconds later
To find: How high a table is
Formula: Vv=gt, dv=1/2gt^2, t=2d/g
Solution: A table's <em>height</em> is measured from the top of the edge down to the floor. The tables are shown both have a height of 30 inches, which is common for many tables.
<u>Data</u>
- t = 0.6s
- g = 9.81 m/s²
- d = ?
<u>Equation</u>
- d =
²
<u>Math & Units</u>
- d = 4.905 (0.6²)
- d = 442.676
Hence the table is 1.8 m high
Answer:
58.27 N
Explanation:
the data we have is:
mass:
coefficient of friction:
and we also know the acceleration of gravity is
We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:
-------
Vertically the forces acting on the object:
- Normal force
(acting up from the object)
- weight:
(acting down from)
so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:
from Newton's second Law we know that , so:
and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) , and:
-----------
now let's analyze the horizontal forces
- frictional force:
and since
-->
- force to move the object:
and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:
and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration:
and we get:
substituting known values:
