Find the force that would be required in the absence of friction first, then calculate the force of friction and add them together.  This is done because the friction force is going to have to be compensated for.  We will need that much more force than we otherwise would to achieve the desired acceleration:

F_{NoFric}=ma=0.39kg \times0.18 \frac{m}{s^2}  =0.0702N

The friction force will be given by the normal force times the coefficient of friction.  Here the normal force is just its weight, mg

F_{Fric}=0.39kg \times 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \times 0.21=0.803N

Now the total force required is:

0.0702N+0.803N=0.873N

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

You can do the reverse unit conversion from cm/s to m/s, or enter any two units below: Metre per second (U.S. spelling: meter per second) is an SI derived unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by distance in metres divided by time in seconds.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

68 readings.

Explanation:

We need to take this problem as a statistic problem where the normal distribution table help us.

We can start considerating that X is the temperature of the solution, then

0.9 = P(|\bar{x}-\mu|

0.9 = P(\frac{|\bar{x}-\mu|}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

0.9 = P(|Z|

For a confidence level of 90% our Z_{critic} is 1.645

Therefore,

\frac{0.1}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} = 1.645

Substituting for \sigma = 5 and re-arrange for n, we have that n is equal to

n=(\frac{1.645\sigma}{0.1})^2

n=\frac{(1.645)^2(0.5)^2}{0.1^2}

n=67.65

n=68

We need to make 68 readings for have a probability of 90% and our average is within 0.1\°\frac
