Block A, with mass mA, is initially at rest on a horizontal floor. Block B, with mass mB, is initially at rest on the horizontal

top surface of A. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is μs. Block A is pulled with a horizontal force. It begins to slide out from under B if the force is greater than:
(A) mA*g
(B) mB*g
(C) μs*mA*g
(D) μs*mB*g
(E) μs(mA +mB)g

Answer:

(E) μs(mA +mB)g

Explanation:

We can apply for mB:

∑ Fx = mB*a   (→)

⇒  Ffriction = mB*a   ⇒  a = Ffriction / mB = μs*N / mB

⇒ a = μs*(mB*g) / mB  ⇒   a = μs*g    (acceleration of the system)

Now, for mA we have

∑ Fx = mA*a   (→)

F - Ffriction = mA*a      ⇒  F = mA*a + Ffriction  

⇒     F = mA*(μs*g) + μs*(mB*g)   ⇒   F = μs*g*(mA + mB)

We must know that the friction acts only between the two blocks

A person jogs eight complete laps around a quarter-mile track in a total time of 13.1 minutes
ExtremeBDS [4]
Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.

Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds

1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,

Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s
