Answer:

6318 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity of the moon (gₘ) = 1.62 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) =.?

gₘ = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = 1/6 × gₑ

1.62 = gₑ /6

Cross multiply

gₑ = 1.62 × 6

gₑ = 9.72 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the weight of the container on the earth as follow:

Mass (m) of container = 650 kg

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth (gₑ) = 9.72 m/s²

Weight (W) of container on the earth =.?

W = m × gₑ

W = 650 × 9.72

W = 6318 N

Therefore, the weight of the container on earth is 6318 N

A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incl
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

7.9m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wagon=40 kg

\theta=18.5^{\circ}

Tension=140 N

Initial velocity of wagon=u=0

Displacement=s=80 m

Net force applied  on wagon=F=T-mgsin\theta=140-40(9.8)sin18.5=15.7 N

By using g=9.8m/s^2

a=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{15.7}{40}=0.39m/s^2

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

v^2=2\times 0.39\times 80

v=\sqrt{2\times 0.39\times 80}=7.9m/s

Bob is pulling a 30 kg filing cabinet with a force of 200 N , but the filing cabinet refuses to move. The coefficient of static
Arada [10]

Answer:

<em>Magnitude of the Frictional force is 200 N</em>

Explanation:

The frictional force is the force that tries to oppose relative motion between two surfaces that are contacting. The coefficient of static friction is the coefficient of friction of a body that is not moving.

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction forces are equal and opposite. So the frictional force felt on the filing cabinet will be equal to the applied force pulling the cabinet.

Frictional force = Force applied

Force applied  = 200 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the friction force on the filing cabinet is 200 N
