A man seeking to set a world record wants to tow a 101,000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attache

d to the airplane. The mass of the man is 84 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.76. What is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane? Assume that the airplane is on wheels that turn without any frictional resistance.

Answer:

6.19 x 10^{-3} m/s^{2}

Explanation:

For this exercise we need to sum the forces on the y-axis and x-axis as follows:

∑F_{y} = N - mg = m.a_{y} = 0

From the exercise, we deduce there is no motion in y-axis, so:

N = mg

Then for x-axis we have:

∑F_{x} = H - f^{s} = m.a_{x} = 0

Now, from the exercise we deduce that we are looking for the greatest static friction which means to have the maximun static friction to start moving, so at this point the acceleration is zero, so we can find horizontal force (H), which then will act in the airplane to move it. Therefore we have:

H = f^{s} = f^{sma_{x} } = u_{s}N = u_{s}mg

H = (0.76)(84Kg)(9.8m/s^{2})

H = 625.63 N

Now we apply this force to the weight of the plane to find the greatest acceleration the mann can give to start moving the plane.

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{H}{m}

a = \frac{6325.63N}{101000Kg}

a = 6.19 x 10^{-3} m/s^{2}

NeTakaya

Answer:

Explanation:

Let time taken by Jada in driving be t hour .

distance travelled by jada = 55 t

a )

Time of drive by destiny = t - 10 min

= t - .167 hour

distance of travel by destiny = 70 ( t - .167 )

Total distance = 45 miles

55 t + 70 ( t - .167 ) = 45

55t + 70 t - 11.69 = 45

125 t = 56.69

t = .453 hour = 27.21 minutes

b )

distance travelled by Destiny = 70 ( t - .167 )

70 ( .453 - .167 )

= 20.02 miles .

1. While riding a chairlift, a 55-kg skier is raised a vertical distance of 370 m. What is the total change in the skier's gravi
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<em>199,430Joules</em>

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a falling object due to virtue of its position.

gravitational potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

gravitational potential energy = 55 * 9.8 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 539 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 199,430

<em>Hence the total change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199,430Joules</em>
