A box (m = 20 kg) is sliding on a horizontal surface. it is connected to a massless hook by a light string passing over a massle

ss pulley wheel. the coefficients of friction between the box and the surface are 0.80 (static) and 0.30 (kinetic). if 15 kg (in total) are placed on the hook, calculate the acceleration of the box.

mass of the box = 20 kg

force of friction on the box due to surface

$F_s = \mu_s N$

$F_s = 0.80 * 20 * 9.8$

$F_s = 156.8 N$

similarly kinetic friction on it

$F_k = \mu_k N$

$F_k = 0.30* 20 * 9.8$

$F_k = 58.8 N$

now the weight of the suspended block will be

$W = mg = 15*9.8 = 147 N$

so here the weight of the suspended block is less than the limiting friction on it

So here we will say that friction will counter balance the weight of the suspended block and it will not move at all

So acceleration of the box will be zero

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.

alex41 [277]

The magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

<h3>Magnitude of the height</h3>

The magnitude of the height of the projectile is calculated as follows;

H = u²sin²θ/2g

H = (36.6² x (sin 29)²)/(2 x 9.8)

H = 16.1 m

Thus, the magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 52J$

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: $\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.

For our case then we have:

$\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}$

Which for our values is:

$\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J$
