The uniform crate has a mass of 150 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is μs = 0.2. The coef

ficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the floor is μ′s = 0.4. Assume the man only exerts a horizontal force on the crate. Determine whether the 85-kg man can move the crate.

Answer:

The man will be able to move the crate.

Explanation:

\mu_s = Coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor = 0.2

\mu'_s = Coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the floor = 0.4

m_c = Mass of crate = 150 kg

m_p = Mass of man = 85 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Horizontal force in order to move the crate is given by

F_h=\mu_sm_cg\\\Rightarrow F_h=0.2\times 150\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_h=294.3\ N

Maximum force that the man can apply

F_m=\mu'_sm_pg\\\Rightarrow F_m=0.4\times 85\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_m=333.54\ N

Here it can be seen that F_m>F_h.

So, the man will be able to move the crate.

In a completely frictionless Newton's Cradle toy, the change in speed of the balls coming in and those going out is zero. This i
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

False. The net force is Zero

Explanation:

To answer this question we propose the solution of the problem.

 We have a toy where balls come in and out after crashes between them, this toy forms our system, so all the balls are parts of the system, when the balls collide with each other according to Newton's third law force and action and reaction, so it has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, this is each is applied to some of the objects.

In conclusion of the previous one for the system the net force is Zero, all are internal. Therefore, the only thing that happens is a redistribution of speeds according to the conservation of the moment.

Let's review the answer.

False. The net force is Zero

Which statement about ocean surface currents is false?
Alla [95]

A) they have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast is False

Explanation:

  • warm and cold ocean currents can influence the coastal areas only when the air is blown into the land from the sea.
  • the temperature over the land increases when warm ocean currents heat the air above the ocean.
  • the temperature over the land decreases when cold ocean currents cool the air above the ocean and can bring colder winds to the coastal regions.
  • so, ocean currents play a major role in regulating the air temperature over land on the coastal region.
