A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$x=1.75m$

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

$y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta =37\\$

To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

At the end of the motion y=0m

$0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}$

Solving for t

$t=-0.36 s$ or $t=0.73s$

Since the time can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

$x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m$

You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 252 N in the negative x di

pentagon [3]

(a) 252 N, opposite to the applied force

There are two forces acting on the refrigerator in the horizontal direction:

- the pushing force of 252 N, F, forward

- the frictional force, Ff, pulling backward

In this case, the refrigerator is not moving: this means that its acceleration is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the net force acting on the refrigerator is also zero:

$\sum F = ma = 0$

So we have

$F-F_f = 0$

which means that the frictional force is equal in magnitude to the pushing force:

$F_f = F = 252 N$

and the direction is opposite to the pushing force.

(b) 334.8 N

The force that must be applied to the refrigerator to make it moving is equal to the maximum force of friction, which is given by:

$F_{max} = \mu mg$

where

$\mu = 0.61$ is the coefficient of static friction

m = 56 kg is the mass of the refrigerator

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting:

F_max = (0.61)(56 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=334.8 N
