A(n) 930 N crate is being pushed across a level floor by a force of 400 N at an angle of 20◦ above the horizontal. The coefficie

nt of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.20. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the box? Answer in units of m/s 2

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the crate is included as attachment, whose equations of equilibrium are described below:

\Sigma F_{x} = P\cdot \cos 20^{\circ} - \mu_{k}\cdot N = \left(\frac{W}{g}\right)\cdot a

\Sigma F_{y} = P\cdot \sin 20^{\circ} + N - W = 0

From second equation of equilibrium we find an expression for the normal force and find the respective value:

N = W - P \cdot \sin 20^{\circ}

N = 930\,N - 400\cdot \sin 20^{\circ}\,N

N = 793.192\,N

Lastly, the acceleration experimented by the crate during pushing is cleared in the first equation of equilibrium and consequently calculated:

a = \frac{P\cdot \cos 20^{\circ}-\mu_{k}\cdot N}{\frac{W}{g} }

a = \frac{400\cdot \cos 20^{\circ}\,N-0.20\cdot (793.192\,N)}{\frac{930\,N}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }

a = 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2.291\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at 5.9 m/s2. The racer decides to race against another driver in a
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

(a) Time will be t = 3.56 sec

(b) Distance traveled by car when they are side by side is 37.38712 m

(b) Velocity of race car = 21.004 m/sec

velocity of stock car = 12.816 m/sec            

Explanation:

We have given acceleration of the car a_1=5.9m/sec^2

Acceleration of the stock car a_2=3.6m/sec^2

When 1st car overtakes the second car then distance traveled by both the car will be same

(a) So s_1=s_2

As both car starts from rest so initial velocity of both car will be 0 m/sec

It is given that stock car leaves 1 sec before

So \frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times (t+1)^2\times 3.6

After solving t = 3.56 sec

(b) From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3.56+\frac{1}{2}\times 5.9\times 3.56^2=37.38712m

(c) From first equation pf motion v = u+at

So velocity of race car v = 0+5.9×3.56 = 21.004 m/sec

Velocity of stock car v = 0+ 3.6×3.56 = 12.816 m/sec
