Answer:

n order to walk across the floor, you push backwards on the floor with your foot. Newton's Third Law says that the reaction force to this action force is "floor pushes you forward" (Action: You push floor backwards. Reaction: floor pushes you forward.) So, when you walk, it is the floor that pushes you along!

Answer:

The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, $\omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm$

Angular velocity, $\omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm$

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}$

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

$\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}$

$\omega=2.09\ rad/s$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}$

$\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2$

Hence, The angular acceleration is $0.209\ rad/s^2$

Helga [31]

Answer: $3.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$\mu_s =0.330$

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force $F_s$

$F_s=ma_{min}$

$\mu_sN=ma_{min}$

$\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}$

$a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2$
