An 85-kg man plans to tow a 109 000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that h

e instead attempts the feat by pulling the cable at an angle of 9.08 above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.77. What is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane?

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

F=\mu mg

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

F = 0.77\times85\times9.8

F= 641.41\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}

a=0.0059\ m/s^2

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
