On the moon what would be the force of gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 7 kg?

What is the minimum force require to move a 5kg wooden crate on a wooden floor?

kolbaska11 [484]

You need to know the coefficient of static friction between a wooden object and a wooden surface. I'll denote it with µ. If you're given a specific value you should obviously use that.

By Newton's second law, the horizontal and vertical net forces are

• net horizontal:

∑ F = p - f = 0

• net vertical:

∑ F = n - w = 0

where

p = magnitude of the pushing force

f = mag. of friction

n = mag. of the normal force

w = weight of the crate

The second equation gives

n = w = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N

Friction is proportional to the normal force by a factor of µ, so

f = µ (49 N) = 49µ N

To overcome static friction, the push has to exceed this in magnitude, so that

p > 49µ N

For instance, if p = 0.25, then p would need to greater than 12.25 N. (This example isn't particularly helpful, though, since both possibly correct options are larger than 12.25 N...)

Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.

A horizontal force acts on an object on a fric- tionless horizontal surface. If the force is halved and the mass of the object i

guapka [62]

(a) If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b) if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

$\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}$

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

$\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)$

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

$\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)$

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.
