You (85 kg) are standing on the horizontal surface at the top of a cliff. The coefficient of static friction between your feet a

nd the ground is .5 and the kinetic coefficient is .4. You have a friend (100kg) that wants to accelerate down the side of the cliff. They set up massless and frictionless pulley and secure themselves with a massless string (physics students can do these sorts of things) that is then tied around your waist. The coefficient of static friction between your feet and the ground is .5 and the kinetic coefficient of friction is .4.

Answer:

 a = 7.6 m / s²

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use Newton's second law .  In general, it is asked to know if the system is in equilibrium or accelerated, suppose that the system is in equilibrium

Person on top of the cliff m = 85 kg

Y axis

          N - W = 0

          N = w₁

          N = m g

X axis

          T’ -fr = 0

          T’ = fr

the friction force has the formula

         fr = μ N

we subtitle

         T’ = μ m g

we calculate

        T ’= 0.5 85 9.8

        T’ = 416.5 N

This is the maximum value that the tension of the rope can have by remaining in static equilibrium.

Person on the cliff   M = 100 kg

        T -W = 0

        T = W = M g

        T = 100 9.8

        T = 980 N

we see that

         T> T ’

       

as the tension exceeds the maximum static friction force, in the system it is accelerated, so the friction coefficient decreases to   μ= 0.4

We medo the problem, but  with acceleration

Person on the cliff

          T ’-fr = m a

          a = (T '-  μ mg) / m

in this case, how the rope should maintain the tension of the diagram of the person hanging

         T ’= T = Mg

we substitute

         a = Mg / m - very g

         a = g (M / m - my)

let's calculate

        a = 9.8 (100/85 - 0.4)

        a = 7.6 m / s²

What happens to light when it passes through a lens?
Novay_Z [31]
B. Light refracts as it passes through a lens.

The bending of a ray of light also occurs when light passes into and out of a glass lens. ... Because a convex lens can cause rays of light to converge, it can produce an image on a screen.

Hello
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land.

Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. Therefore, the air above the land is warmer than the air above the ocean. Now, recall that warmer air is lighter than cooler air.
