First you need to make a difference between friction while object is stationary and the friction while object is moving. Force required to start moving some object is slightly greater than force required to maintain objects movement. That means that to move a chair you need some force F1 but you can than slightly reduce force and chair will still be moving.

Now to the problem in this question: It can be said that "stationary friction force" is equal to 15 Newtons. Its also good to know that friction force between chair and floor while you are increasing your push is also increasing and is equal to force of your push. Once it reaches 15N which is it "critical value" for that chair, chair starts moving and friction force drops a little bit and now it is called friction force of moving chair.

A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 22m/s comes to a stop in 17.32 secs. What is the acceleration of the truck?
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 22 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 17.32 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)

a = -1.270 m/s²

Round as needed.

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?
tia_tia [17]
Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!
