A filing cabinet weighing 556 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between it and the floor is 0.68, and the

coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. In four different attempts to move it, it is pushed with horizontal forces of magnitudes
(a) 222 N,
(b) 334 N,
(c) 445 N, and
(d) 556 N. For each attempt, calculate the magnitude of the frictional force on it from the floor. (The cabinet is initially at rest.) (e) In which of the attempts does the cabinet move?

Explanation:

"Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object."

(556 x 0.68) = static friction of 378.08N. before movement occurs.

The  forces (a) and (b) will not move it.  

Each will incur a frictional force preventing movement equal to itself, = 222N. and 334N. respectively.

Forces (c) and (d) will move it, and accelerate it.

Forces (c) and (d) will both encounter friction of (556 x 0.56) = 311.36N. when the cabinet is moving.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

2.667m/s to the north and 3.333 m/s to the west

Explanation:

According to law of momentum conservation, the total momentum should be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, the momentum was

0.5*2 = 1 kg m/s to the west

Therefore the total momentum after the explosion should be the same horizontally and vertically.

Vertically speaking, it was 0 before the explosion. After the explosion:

0.2*4 + 0.3v = 0

0.3v = -0.8

v = -0.8/0.3 = -2.667 m/s

So the vertical component of the 0.3kg piece is 2.667m/s to the north

Horizontally speaking, since the 0.2kg-piece doesn't move west or east post-explosion:

0.2*0 + 0.3V = 1

0.3V = 1

V = 1/0.3 = 3.333 m/s

So the horizontal component of the 0.3kg piece is 3.333 m/s to the west

A positively charged sphere with a charge of 8Q is separated from a negatively charged sphere -2Q by a distance r. There is an a
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the first case , the expression for electrostatic force can be given by the following .

F = K x 8Q x 2Q / r² where k is a constant .

F = K 16 Q² / r²

When they touch , some charge is neutralized . Net charge remaining

= 8Q - 2 Q = 6 Q

Charge on each sphere = 6Q/2 = 3 Q .

Force between them

F₁ = k 3Q x 3 Q / r² = k 9 Q² / r²

F₁ / F = 9 / 16

F₁ = 9 F / 16 .
