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 75.0 kg stunt man jumps from a balcony and falls 24.0
Anika [276]

Answer:

The force that acts on the man equals 15354.75 newtons.

Explanation:

After falling through a distance of 24.0 meters the speed of the stunt man upon hitting the mattress can be obtained using third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2gh\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 24}\\\\v=21.7m/s ( u=0 since the man falls from rest)

Now since the man is decelerated through a distance of 1.15 meters thus the acceleration produced can be obtained from third equation of kinematics as

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\\\0=u^{2}=2as\\\\a=\frac{-u^{2}}{2s}\\\\a=-\frac{(21.7^{2}}{2\times 1.15}=-204.73m/s^{2}

Now by newton's second law the force that produced deceleration of the calculated magnitude is obtained as

F=mass\times acceleration\\\\F=75.0\times -204.73=-15354.75Newtons

The negative sign indicates that the direction of force is opposite of motion.

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object moving?
lisabon 2012 [21]
v ^{2} = Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)

14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882

Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.

The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448

Hope this helps!

So I don’t really get it can you also explain what’s the difference between radiation,conduction, and convection?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

I think its radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through solids (A)

Convection is the transfer of heat through liquids or gasses (B)

Radiation is the transfer of heat through em waves (C)

a runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. How fast is she running after 1.1 seconds
grigory [225]
Acceleration x time = velocity 

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation. 

3\frac{m}{s^{2}} x 1.1 s = ? 

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.
