This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The mag

nitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle θ is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.310. The weight of the block is 55.0 N, and the directional angle for the force is θ = 50.0°. Determine the magnitude of when the block slides (a) up the wall and (b) down the wall.

Answer:

Part a)

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

F = 62.5 N

Explanation:

Part a)

If block is sliding up then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg + F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg + \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 - 0.310(sin50)}

F = 135.7 N

Part b)

If block is sliding down then net force must be zero and friction will be in opposite to the direction of motion of the block

Fcos\theta = mg - F_f

Fsin\theta = F_n

so we have

Fcos\theta = mg - \mu(Fsin\theta)

F(cos\theta + \mu sin\theta) = mg

F = \frac{mg}{cos\theta + \mu sin\theta}

F = \frac{55}{cos50 + 0.310(sin50)}

F = 62.5 N

Can someone explain the normal force? where does it come from? ...?
Vilka [71]
<span>The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object which is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book. The normal force in itseñf comes from the third law of Newton as a reactive force</span>

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50
horsena [70]
It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.
