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

Mrac [35]

Answer:

\boxed{q = 1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 6} C}

Explanation:

f_e =   \frac{{q}^{2}k }{ {r}^{2} }  \\ q =  \sqrt{ \frac{f_e( {r}^{2} )}{k} }  =  \sqrt{ \frac{5.2(5 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )^{2} }{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  \\ q =\sqrt{ \frac{5.2(5 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )^{2} }{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  =  \sqrt{ \frac{0.013}{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  \\ q = 1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 6}

Ned tightens a bolt in his car engine by exerting 15 N of force on his wrench at a distance of 0.45m from the fulcrum. How much
____ [38]

Answer:

T = 6.75\,N\cdot m

Explanation:

Vectorially speaking, torque is the cross product between force and distance from fulcrum. Its magnitude is equal to the following expression:

T = F\cdot r \cdot \sin \theta

T = F_{\bot} \cdot r

Let assume that force is perpendicular to the distance from the fulcrum. So, the torque needed to turn the bolt is:

T = (15\,N)\cdot (0.45\,m)

T = 6.75\,N\cdot m

A container of rocks is brought back from the Moon's surface where the acceleration due to gravity is 162 meters per second if t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

6318 N

Explanation:

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

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) =.?

gₘ = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = gₑ /6

Cross multiply

gₑ = 1.62 × 6

gₑ = 9.72 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the container on the earth as follow:

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) = 9.72 m/s²

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

W = m × gₑ

W = 650 × 9.72

W = 6318 N

Therefore, the weight of the container on earth is 6318 N
