A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The

coefficient of static friction between the board and the box is μs. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the box is, as usual, less than μs. Throughout the problem, use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. In the hints, use Ff for the magnitude of the friction force between the board and the box. Find Fmin, the constant force with the least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the the box (which will then fall off of the opposite end of the board).

Answer:

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}

Explanation:

The Newton’s second law states that the net force on an object is the product of mass of the object and final acceleration of the object. The expression of newton’s second law is,

\sum {F = ma}

Here, is the sum of all the forces on the object, mm is mass of the object, and aa is the acceleration of the object.

The expression for static friction over a horizontal surface is,

F_{\rm{f}}} \leq {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg

Here, {\mu _{\rm{s}}} is the coefficient of static friction, mm is mass of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the expression of static friction and solve for maximum static friction for box of mass {m_1}

Substitute  for in the expression of maximum static friction {F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg

{F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g

Use the Newton’s second law for small box and solve for minimum acceleration aa to pull the box out.

Substitute  for , [/tex]{m_1}[/tex] for in the equation .

{F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a

Substitute {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g for {F_{\rm{f}}} in the equation {F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a

{\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g = {m_1}a

Rearrange for a.

a = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

The minimum acceleration of the system of two masses at which box starts sliding can be calculated by equating the pseudo force on the mass with the maximum static friction force.

The pseudo force acts on in the direction opposite to the motion of the board and the static friction force on this mass acts in the direction opposite to the pseudo force. If these two forces are cancelled each other (balanced), then the box starts sliding.

Use the Newton’s second law for the system of box and the board.

Substitute for for in the equation .

{F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)a

Substitute for in the above equation .

{F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g

There is no friction between the board and the surface. So, the force required to accelerate the system with the minimum acceleration to slide the box over the board is equal to total mass of the board and box multiplied by the acceleration of the system.

A 0.060 kg ball hits the ground with a speed of –32 m/s. The ball is in contact with the ground for 45 milliseconds and the grou
FinnZ [79.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

= 9.25 m/s


<u>Explanation</u>

The Newton's second law of motion states that, the change in momentum is directly propotional to the force producing it and it takes place in the direction of force.

F = ma

f = m(v-u)/t

ft = m(v-u)

∴ 55 × 45/1000 = 0.060(v - -32)

2.475 = 0.06(v + 32)

2.475/0.6 = v + 32

41.25 = v + 32

v = 41.25 -32

= 9.25 m/s

How fast must a 100 kg object be going in order for it to stop a 200 kg object traveling at 10 km/hr when the two objects collid
hichkok12 [17]
P1i+p2i =p1f +p2f where p is momentum and i denotes initial, f denotes final, and 1 and 2 refers to the object number. If the object stops, their velocity is 0 and p1f and p2f also equal 0.

p=mass x velocity

We have p1i=-p2i

100v1i=-(200) (-10÷3.6)


Note: 10÷3.6 is 10km/hr in m/s
Note: The velocity of the second object ifs negative because I said the velocity of the first object was positive and the second object is travelling in the opposite direction

So v1i=20/3.6=5.56m/s

A dog starts from rest to chase after a ball. If the dog reaches a maximum speed of 5.4 m/s in 8.2 seconds, what is the accelera
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

0.66 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Final velocity (v) = 5.4 m/s

Time (t) = 8.2 secs

Acceleration (a) =....?

The acceleration of the dog can be obtained as follow:

v = u + at

5.4 = 0 + a × 8.2

5.4 = 8.2a

Divide both side 8.2

a = 5.4/8.2

a = 0.66 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the dog is 0.66 m/s².

A softball is thrown straight up. To what height will it go if it takes 2.0 sec to reach the highest point?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

4.4 m

Explanation:

Given:

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.0 s

Find: Δy

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = 0 − ½ (-9.8) (2.0)²

Δy = 4.4 m
