That's going to depend on the mass of the crate. They'll be able to push a crate full of pingpong balls really high, but they may not be able to even budge the crate at all if it's full of bricks.

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m

The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe
xxTIMURxx [149]
The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

a pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter high table with an initial high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4m/s. what is the
inysia [295]

Answer:

0.84 m

Explanation:

Given in the y direction:

Δy = 0.60 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

0.60 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.35 s

Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 2.4 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.35 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (2.4 m/s) (0.35 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.35 s)²

Δx = 0.84 m
