Complete question is;

You push downward on a trunk at an angle 25° below the horizontal with a force of 750N. if the trunk is on a flat surface and the coefficient of static friction between the surface and the trunk is 0.61, what is the most massive trunk you will be able to move?

Answer:

The most massive trunk is about 81.3 kg

Explanation:

I've attached a free body diagram that depicts this question.

Where;

N = normal force on the trunk

m = mass of the trunk

W = weight of the trunk = mg

F = static frictional force

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction, we obtain;

N = W + 750 Sin25

N = mg + 750 Sin25    - - - - (eq 1)

Now, we are given that Coefficient of static friction: μ = 0.61

static frictional force is given by the formula;

F = μN

Since N = mg + 750 Sin25, we now have;

F = (0.61) (mg + 750 Sin25)   - - - (eq 2)

Along the horizontal direction, for the trunk to move, force equation must be;

F = 750 Cos25

Thus, we now have;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(mg + 750 Sin25)

g = 9.81.

So,we now have ;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(m(9.81) + 750Sin25)

750 × 0.9063 = 0.61(9.81m + (750 × 0.4226))

Divide both sides by 0.61;

(750 × 0.9063)/0.61 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 - 316.95 = 9.81m

797.35 = 9.81m

m = 797.35/9.81

m = 81.3 kg

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

A metal block of mass 265 g rests at a point 2.4 m from the center of a horizontal rotating wooden platform. The coefficient of
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The minimum angular velocity of the platform what whould the block slides away is w= 2.26 rad/s.

Explanation:

m= 0.265 kg

r= 2.4 m

μ= 0.257

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 2.597 N

Fr= μ * W

Fr= 0.66 N

∑F = m * ac

W+Fr = m * ac

(W+ Fr) / m = ac

ac= 12.29 m/s²

ac= w² * r

√(ac/r)= w

w= 2.26 rad/s

A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around th
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The fountain is 3.43 m high.

Explanation:

Circumference of the pool = 15 m.

C = 2\pir

where C is the circumference and r its radius.

r = \frac{C}{2\pi }

 = \frac{15}{2(\frac{22}{7}) }

r = 2.3864

radius of the pool = 2.40 m

So that the height of the fountain, h, can be determined by applying trigonometric function.

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 55 = \frac{h}{2.4}

h = Tan 55 x 2.4

  = 1.4282 x 2.4

  = 3.4277

h = 3.43 m

The height of the fountain is 3.43 m.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 10 g bullet moving at 300 m/s.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:450joules

Explanation:

Let mass=m velocity =v

Mass given=10g=(10/1000)kg=0.01kg

Velocity given =300m/s

Kinetic energy =(m x v^2)/2

Kinetic energy =(0.01x300^2)/2

Kinetic energy =(0.01 x 90000)/2

Kinetic energy =900/2

Kinetic energy =450joules
