A mass of 5 kg is placed at rest on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of static friction of 1.03 and a coefficient of kine

tic friction of 0.68. a force is of 26 newtons is applied to it downward in the -y direction and another force of 26 newtons is applied horizontally in the +x direction. what is the amount of friction, in newtons, acting on the mass? note: this could be static or kinetic friction... you must determine which kind of friction is acting here

Until the object starts to move, the static coefficient of friction must be used since the object is at rest initially.  If the horizontal force is large enough to overcome the friction force and the object accelerates, we switch to the kinetic coefficient.
The total downward force in the -y direction is the weight plus the applied 26N:
Fy=mg-26N = 5*-9.81-26 = -75.05N
The maximum friction force here is the magnitude of this force times the static coefficient of friction.  This force will point in the opposite direction as an applied horizontal force, no matter which way it points (non conservative forces tend to oppose motion in all directions)
Ff=75.05N*1.03=77.3N
Note this is greater than the applied horizontal x-directed force of 26N.  This means the answer is 26N of friction force acting on the object.  Why not the full 77.3N?  Because that is the maximum amount you can oppose along the x-direction before the object starts to move.  But since we are only applying 26N, that is all the friction force pushes back with. This is a statement of Newton's 3rd Law of equal and opposite actions.  If the object pushed back with the full 77.3N in this case it would accelerate backward (F=ma), since there would be a net force on the object (77.3N - 26N = 51.3N)  This obviously doesn't happen!

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (
Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

     F = m a

    a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

    v = v₀ + a t

    v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

    p = m v

The moment change

    Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

    Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

    Δp = m v₀  + F t - m v₀  

    Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum
