A horizontal force of 120 N is required to push a bookcase across the floor at a constant velocity how much is the friction forc

The Friction Force that acts on a sliding bookcase is -120 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Frictional force is the force developed by the two surfaces where they contact and slide against each other. They mainly affected by amount of force impelled them together and by the angle and position of the object.
  •             Frictional Force F = Coefficient of friction * normal force
  • At a constant velocity, there will be no acceleration and the net force will be zero.

               Net Force        = m * a = 0

               120 - Friction   = 0

               Friction Force  = -120 N

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?
kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

here we know that total distance that man moved is

d_1 = 200 km

d_2 = 100 km

so total distance is

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 200 km + 100 km

d = 300 km

now here total time of the motion is

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

total time will be given as

t = t_1 + t_2

t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours

now by above formula

v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}

v_{avg} = 30 km/h

so his average speed is 30 km/h

If earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of earth would be:________
siniylev [52]

If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

<h3>What is an escape velocity?</h3>

The ratio of the object's travel distance over a specific period of time is known as its velocity. As a vector quantity, the velocity requires both the magnitude and the direction. the slowest possible speed at which a body can break out of the gravitational pull of a certain planet or another object.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity of earth is given below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r}}

Given that earth's mass was half its actual value but its radius stayed the same. The escape velocity will be calculated as below:-

V_e=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{r\times 2}}

V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

Therefore, If the earth's mass were half its actual value but its radius stayed the same, the escape velocity of the earth would be V_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}.

A bucket of mass m is hanging from the free end of a rope whose other end is wrapped around a drum (radius R, mass M) that can r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension .

Applying newton's second law on the downward movement of the bucket

mg - T = ma

On the drum , a torque of TR will be acting which will create an angular acceleration of α in it . If I be the moment of inertia of the drum

TR = Iα

TR = Ia/ R

T =  Ia/ R²

Replacing this value of T in the other equation

mg - T = ma

mg - Ia/ R²  = ma

mg =  Ia/ R² +ma

a ( I/ R² +m)= mg

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

mg - T = ma

mg - ma  = T

mg - m x mg / ( I/ R² +m) = T

mg - m²g / ( I/ R² +m ) = T

mg - mg / ( 1 + I / m R² ) = T

b ) T =  Ia/ R²

I = TR² / a

c ) Moment of inertia of hollow cylinder

I = 1/2  M ( R² - R² / 4 )

= 3/4 x 1/2 MR²

= 3/8 MR²

I / R² = 3/8 M

a = mg / ( I/ R² +m)

a = mg / ( 3/8 M + m )

T =  Ia/ R²

= 3/8 MR² x mg / ( 3/8 M + m ) x 1 /R²

= \frac{3mMg}{(3M +8m)}
