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

sammy [17]

Answer:

Distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m

Explanation:

Wear have given maximum speed tat will be equal to final speed of the car        v = 278 m/sec

Constant acceleration a=5.56m/sec^2

As the car starts initially starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

From third equation of motion v^2=u^2+2as

Putting all values in equation

278^2=0^2+2\times 5.56\times s

s = 6950 m

So distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m

A 3 kg bowling ball is thrown onto a mattress. If it takes 0.3 seconds to stop the ball using a force of 24 N, what was the init
enyata [817]

Answer:

-24 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the bowling ball =  3 kg

time (t) = 0.3 seconds

Force = 24 N

initial velocity u = ???

We know that;

Force = mass × acceleration (a)

So;

24 = 3 × a

a = 24/3

a = 8 m/s²

Also;

From equation of motion; acceleration is given by the relation;

a =\frac{v-u}{t}

if v = 0

then ;

8 = \frac{0-u}{0.3}

24 = 0- u

u = -24 m/s

Thus; the  initial velocity of the bowling ball when it first touched the mattress =  -24 m/s

The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

250 N

433 N

Explanation:

N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane

W = Weight of the block = 500 N

f = static frictional force acting on the block

Parallel to incline, force equation is given as

f = W Sin30

f = (500) Sin30

f = 250 N

Perpendicular to incline force equation is given  

N = W Cos30

N = (500) Cos30

N = 433 N
