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

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

A crate is being lifted into a truck. If it is moved with a 2470 N force and 4850 J of work is done, then how far is the crate b
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:1.96m

Explanation:

Work=4850J

Force=2470N

Distance =work ➗ force

Distance =4850 ➗ 2470

Distance =1.96m

How are igneous rock formed ?Explain in brief.​
Sati [7]

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are formed by melting and cooling of magma originated from volcanic process.

when molten rock (rock liquefied by intense heat and pressure) cools to a solid state. Lava is molten rock flowing out of fissures or vents at volcanic centres (when cooled they form rocks such as basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian)

These rocks are strong, crystalline and dark in colour.
