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 monument has a height of 348 ft, 8 in. Express this height in meters. Answer in units of m.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The height of mountain in meter will be 106.2732 m

Explanation:

We have given height of mountain = 348 ft,8 in

We know that 1 feet = 0.3048 meter

So 348 feet =348\times 0.3048=106.07meter

And we know that 1 inch = 0.0254 meter

So 8 inch 8\times 0.0254=0.2032m

So the total height of mountain in meter = 106.07+0.2032 = 106.2732 m

The height of mountain in meter will be 106.2732 m

Explain why people who eat only plants must eat a variety of plants in order to obtain all the nutrients they need
katrin2010 [14]
Because different plants contain different vitamins and minerals as well as different amino acids and our body needs a large variety of these in order to preform all the necessary chemical reactions taking place inside our body. Some vegetables are very rich in a certain vitamin but are lacking in another, like how oranges have plenty of vitamin C but not iron. Vitamins and minerals are used in your cells to speed up and allow pretty much any chemical reaction to occur, but each one helps with a certain process and cannot simply be replaced by a different vitamin. In addition, very few vegetables contain all of the essential amino acids that work as the building blocks for protein synthesis and the creation of enzymes, so if you are not getting all of these in your diet, it is very unlikely you are producing enough enzymes and as a result certain functions in your body could stop working altogether.

Rearrange the momentum equation to solve for speed. Show all work.
nasty-shy [4]

Definition:                   Momentum  =  (mass) x (speed)


OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:


Divide each side        
by  'mass' :                  <span>Momentum / mass  =  Speed </span>
