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

is this true or false? an object with a mass of 9.0kg has an acceleration of 3m/s2. the force acting on it is 3N
ludmilkaskok [199]

The answer is "False". The force acting on the object is 27 N.

According to Newton's second law, when a force <em>F</em> acts on am object of mass <em>m</em>, it produces an acceleration <em>a</em>. The force is given by the expression,

F=ma

Thus, if the body has a mass of 9.0 kg and if it has an acceleration of 3 m/s², then, on substituting the values in the equation for force,

F=ma\\ =(9.0kg)(3m/s^2)\\ =27N

Thus, it can be seen that the force acting on the body is 27 N and not 3 N as is mentioned in the statement. Hence the statement is false.

What accounts for most of the mass in the universe?
aev [14]
Around 80 percent  of the mass of the universe is made up material known as "Dark matter". It does not emit light or energy but the influence of it can be detected or observed gravitationally. Motions of stars and galaxy tell us how much mater there is, but somehow the speed of rotation of galaxy does not add up to its mass alone, there is a certain amount of matter really not accounted for. Dark matter maybe made up of non-baryonic matter, or perhaps what scientist called the WIMPS or (weakly interacting massive particles.)
