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

If a town was 90 miles away and you travel at 45 mph how long would it take to get there
notka56 [123]

Answer:

t = 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the town, d = 90 miles

Speed, v = 45 mph

We need to find the time to get there. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

t is time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{90}{45}\\\\t=2\ h

So, the required time is 2 hours.

A fullback preparing to carry the football starts from rest and accelerates straight ahead. He is handed the ball just before he
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

x=4.06m

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t  (1)\\\\

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}    (3)\\

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

for this problem

Vf=7.6m/s

t=1.07

Vo=0

we can use the ecuation number one to find the acceleration

a=(Vf-Vo)/t

a=(7.6-0)/1.07=7.1m/s^2

then we can use the ecuation number 2 to find the distance

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X

(7.6^2-0^2)/(2x7.1)=4.06m

Competitive pressures stemming from the threat of entry are stronger when
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Industries outlook is uncertain

Explanation:

Competitive pressures stemming from the threat of entry are stronger when the industry's outlook is uncertain or highly risky, entry barriers are low, and very few existing industry members are looking to expand their market reach by entering product segments or geographic areas where they currently do not have a presence. entry barriers are low, the pool of entry candidates is large, and existing industry members are earning good profits. there are fewer than 10 entry candidates with the potential to hurdle the industry's barriers to entry. t is difficult or costly for a customer to switch to a new brand, the total dollar investment needed to enter the market successfully exceeds $5 million, and existing governmental regulations impose significant cost and compliance burdens on industry members. buyers have strong brand preferences and high degrees of loyalty to their preferred brand and when it takes new entrants less than 5 years to secure attractive amounts of space on retailers' shelves and build a well-recognized brand name.
