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

Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s. What does micah need to determine acceleration.
katrin2010 [14]
The time component is needed. The acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the time in when this change of velocity happens.

Why do mirrors form inverted images?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The image is real light rays actually focus at the image location). As the object moves towards the mirror the image location moves further away from the mirror and the image size grows (but the image is still inverted).

  • The mechanic did 5406 Joules of work pushing the car.

That's the energy he put into the car.  When he stops pushing, all the energy he put into the car is now the car's kinetic energy.

  • Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

And there we have it

  • The car's mass is 3,600 kg.
  • Its speed is 'v' m/s .
  • (1/2) (mass) (v²) =  5,406 Joules

(1/2) (3600 kg) (v²) = 5406 joules

1800 kg (v²) = 5406 joules

v² = (5406 joules) / (1800 kg)

v² = (5406/1800) (joules/kg)

= = = = = This section is just to work out the units of the answer:

  • v² = (5406/1800) (Newton-meter/kg)
  • v² = (5406/1800) (kg-m²/s²  /  kg)
  • v² = (5406/1800)  (m²/s²)

= = = = =

v = √(5406/1800)  m/s

<em>v = 1.733 m/s</em>

An objects weighs 30n on earth a second object weighs 30n on thee moon which has the greatest mass of is it the same
bulgar [2K]
Mass is indirectly proportional to gravity, as moon has less gravity mass would be greater there, if weight of the object is same!

In short, your answer would be "Moon"

Hope this helps!
