Assume that the force exerted on each crutch by the ground is directed along the crutch, as the force vectors in the drawing ind

icate. If the coefficient of static friction between a crutch and the ground is 0.913, determine the largest angle MAX that the crutch can have just before it begins to slip on the floor.

Answer: 43 degrees

Explanation:

The force of the crutch can be broken into components.  The horizontal component of F is the static friction force keeping the crutch from sliding.  The vertical component is opposing the weight and is the Normal force.  Using the orientation of the angle q, we have the following

fs = Fx = F sin (angle (tita))

N = Fy = F cos (angle(tita))

Maximum angle implies maximum static friction

Therefore,

fsmax = UsN = Us x F cos(angle tita)

Where U = miyu

F sin(angle tita) = Us x Fcos (angle tita)

Sin (angle tita) / cos (angle tita) = Us

Therefore, tan (angle tita) = Us

Angle tita = tan^-1(Us) = tan^-1 (0.931) = 42.95 degrees = 43 degrees

There for Angle tita Max = 43 degrees

A child throws a ball with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 40.0° above the horizontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.00
vivado [14]

Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

v = initial speed of the ball = 8 m/s

\theta = angle of launch = 40° deg

Consider the motion along the vertical direction :

v_{oy} = initial velocity along vertical direction = v Sin\theta = 8 Sin40 = 5.14 m/s

a_{y} = acceleration along vertical direction = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

y = vertical displacement = - 1 m

Using the kinematics equation

y = v_{oy}t + (0.5)a_{y}t^{2}

- 1 = (5.14)t + (0.5)(- 9.8)t^{2

t = 1.22 sec

Consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v_{ox} = initial velocity along horizontal direction = v Sin\theta = 8 Cos40 = 6.13 m/s

a_{x} = acceleration along vertical direction = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 1.22 sec

x = horizontal displacement = ?

Using the kinematics equation

x = v_{ox}t + (0.5)a_{x}t^{2}

x = (6.13)(1.22) + (0.5)(0)(1.22)^{2

x = 7.5 m

Why are many mitochondria needed in cells that move, like muscle cells?
Deffense [45]
Muscle cells have to use a lot of energy and the Mitochondria is known as the "power house" of the cell... I would say the number of mitochondria needed is increased because more power and energy is being used in that cell than a normal one (idk if this helps or if that's the answer you were looking for)

Which property help to explain differences in the specific heat capabilities of two substances
OLga [1]

Answer:

Forces between molecules

Explanation:

The tensions between molecules are the characteristic that explains variances in the specific heat capacity of two substances.

This means that a substance's specific heat capacity will increase or be higher the closer its atoms are bound together. As a result, it differs for the different states of matter, such as solid, liquid, and gas.
