A 25kg chair initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires 165 N force to set it in motion. Once the chair is in motion, a 12

7 N horizontal force keeps it moving at a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor.

The coefficient of static friction between the chair and the floor is 0.67

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the chair = 25kg

Force = 165 N (F_applied)

Force = 127 N (F_max)

To find: Coefficient of static friction  

The “coefficient of static friction” between a chair and the floor is defined as the ration of maximum force to the normal force acting on the chair  

μ_s=F_{max}/F_{n}  

The F_n is equal to the weight multiplied by its gravity

∴F_{n}=mg  

Thus the coefficient of static friction changes as

μ_s=F_{max}/mg

μ_{s} = =165N/((25kg)\times(9.80 m/s^2 ) )

= 0.67

ANTONII [103]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Rotational Force described from the equilibrium and Newton's second law.

When there is equilibrium, the Force generated by the tension is equivalent to the Force of the Weight. However in rotation, the Weight must be equivalent to the Centrifugal Force and the tension, in other words:

W = F_T + m\omega^2r_E

Where

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \rightarrow Angular velocity is equal to the Period, at this case Earth's period

r_E = 6.371*10^6m \rightarrow Radius of the Earth

m = mass

F_T= Force of Tension

W = mg \rightarrow Newton's second law

Replacing and re-arrange to find the Tension we have,

F_T = W- \frac{W}{g} (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2r_E

F_T = W(1-(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2\frac{r_E}{g})

F_T = (505)(1-(\frac{2\pi}{24hours})^2\frac{6.371*10^6}{9.8})

F_T = (505)(1-(\frac{2\pi}{24hours(\frac{3600s}{1hour})})^2\frac{6.371*10^6}{9.8})

F_T = (505)(1-(\frac{2\pi}{86400})^2\frac{6.371*10^6}{9.8})

F_T = 503.26N

Therefore when Sneezy is on the equator he is in a circular orbit with a Force of tension of 503.26N

A girl weighing 600 N steps on a bathroom scale that contains a stiff spring. In equilibrium, the spring is compressed 1.0 cm un
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given:

F = 550 N

m = 1000 kg

To Find:

a = ?

Solution:

So by the equation by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion,

F = m x a

550 N = 1000 kg x a

a = 550 N/ 1000 kg

a = 0.55 m/s^2

Therefore,

The acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 550 N net force = 0.55 m/s^2
