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.

an object is thrown off a cliff with intial pward velocity of 15m/s it strikes the ground with downward velocity of 25 m/s what
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 15 m/s

v = -25 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(-25 m/s)² = (15 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 20 m
