The ms = 0.5645 and mk=0.1113 for a 30 N box on level ground. What level force is needed to start the box moving
nevsk [136]

Answer:

16.935 N

Explanation:

In order to make the box start moving, the level force applied on the box (F) must be greater than the force of static friction that keeps the box at rest, which is equal to

F_f = \mu_s (mg)

where

\mu_s = 0.5645 is the coefficient of static friction

(mg) = 30 N is the weight of the box

Therefore, the condition for F must be:

F \geq F_f\\F \geq \mu_k (mg)=(0.5645)(30 N)=16.935 N

So, the applied force must be greater than this value.

What is the answer to this question?

Acceleration is a change in *speed* over time. In this case, the speed of the car increased by 90 km/hr in 6 s, giving it a rate of 90 km/hr/6s, or 15 km/hr/s. We’re asked for the acceleration in m/s^2, though, so we’ll need to do a few conversions to get our units straight.

There are 1000 m in 1 km, 60 min, or 60 * 60 = 3600 s in 1 hr, so we can change our rate to:

(15 x 1000)m/3600s/s, or (15 x 1000)m/3600 s^2

We can reduce this to:

(15 x 10)m/36 s^2 = 150 m/36 s^2

Which, dividing numerator and denominator by 36, gets us a final answer of roughly 4.17 m/s^2

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s
