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.

A disoriented physics professor drives 3.22 km north, then 4.75 km west, then 1.90 km south. find the magnitude and direction of
Andre45 [30]

It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.

Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90  S

= 1.32 N + 4.75 W

D = \sqrt{N^2 + W^2}

D = 4.93 Km

direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west

If there are 50 people per square kilometer in a city, and the area of the city is 1.5 × 10 square kilometers. What is the total
qaws [65]

Answer:

750 people

Explanation:

From the question,

Number of people in the city = population density×Area of the city

N = D×A.......................... Equagtion 1

Where N = Number of people in the city, D = population density, A = Area of the city.

Given: D = 50 people per square kilometer, A = 1.5×10 square kilometer.

Substitute into equation 1

N = 50(1.5×10)

N = 750 people.

Hence the total number of people in the city is 750 people.
