The uniform dresser has a weight of 91 lb and rests on a tile floor for which μs = 0.25. If the man pushes on it in the horizont

al direction θ = 0∘, determine the smallest magnitude of force F needed to move the dresser. Also, if the man has a weight of 151 lb , determine the smallest coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the floor so that he does not slip.

Answer:

F = 22.75 lb

μ₁ = 0.15

Explanation:

The smallest force required to move the dresser must be equal to the force of friction between the man and the dresser. Therefore,

F = μR

F = μW

where,

F = Smallest force needed to move dresser = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.25

W = Weight of dresser = 91 lb

Therefore,

F = (0.25)(91 lb)

<u>F = 22.75 lb</u>

<u></u>

Now, for the coefficient of static friction between shoes and floor, we use the same formula but with the mas of the man:

F = μ₁W₁

where,

μ₁ = coefficient of static friction between shoes and floor

W₁ = Weight of man = 151 lb

Therefore,

22.75 lb = μ₁ (151 lb)

μ₁ = 22.75 lb/151 lb

<u>μ₁ = 0.15</u>

Define “Law of Conservation of Energy”
Tems11 [23]

The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system remains constant or is conserved within a given frame of reference.

In classical mechanics, conservation of mass and conversation of energy are considered to be two separate laws. However, in special relativity, matter may be converted into energy and vice versa, according to the famous equation E = mc2. Thus, it's more appropriate to say mass-energy is conserved.

Example of Conservation of Energy

If a stick of dynamite explodes, for example, the chemical energy contained within the dynamite changes into kinetic energy, heat, and light. If all this energy is added together, it will equal the starting chemical energy value.

A giraffe, standing 6.00 m tall, bites a branch off a tree to chew on the leaves
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.11 s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (H) = 6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

The time taken for the branch to hit the ground can be obtained as follow:

H = ½gt²

6 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

6 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 6/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(6/4.9)

t = 1.11 s

Therefore, it will take 1.11 s for the branch to hit the ground.

Question 30
stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.69\°

Explanation:

The angular diameter \delta of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})

Where:

d=16 m is the actual diameter

D=1338 m is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})

\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\° This is the angular diameter
