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

A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Does this statement describ
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.

How much heat must be removed from 456 g of water at 25.0°C to change it into ice at - 10.0°C?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

229,098.96 J

Explanation:

mass of water (m) = 456 g = 0.456 kg

initial temperature (T) = 25 degrees

final temperature (t) = - 10 degrees

specific heat of ice = 2090 J/kg

latent heat of fusion =33.5 x 10^(4) J/kg

specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg

for the water to be converted to ice it must undergo three stages:

  • the water must cool from 25 degrees to 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of water x change in temp

        Q = 0.456 x 4186 x (25 - (-10)) = 66808.56 J

  • the water must freeze at 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of fusion x change in temp

         Q = 0.456 x 33.5 x 10^(4) = 152760 J

  • the water must cool further to -10 degrees from 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of ice x change in temp

        Q = 0.456 x 2090 x (0 - (-10)) = 9530.4 J

The quantity of heat removed from all three stages would be added to get the total heat removed.

Q total = 66,808.56 + 152,760 + 9,530.4 = 229,098.96 J
