The value of the friction force is 5.4 N

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we have to write down the equation of the forces along the horizontal direction.

We have only two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

The horizontal component of the pull of the student, $F cos \theta$ , forward
The friction force, $F_f$ , backward

The resultant force must be equal to the product between mass and acceleration (Newton's second law), so we can write:

$F cos \theta - F_f = ma$

where:

F = 50 N is the force of pull of the student

$\theta=45^{\circ}$ is the angle relative to the horizontal

m = 20 kg is the mass of the box

$a=1.5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving the equation for $F_f$ , we find the value of the friction force:

$F_f = Fcos \theta -ma=(50)(cos 45^{\circ})-(20)(1.5)=5.4 N$

A marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is $h=0.90 m$ , the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ , so the vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s$

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

$x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m$

Clara rushes 30m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s what is her average velocity?

navik [9.2K]

Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time
