Jeff is pushing a rock up a hill with a force of 85 N. If Chris comes to help and Chris can push with a force of 60 N, what is t

Answer:

F = 145 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied by Jeff is 85 N and the force applied by Chris is 60 N. Both forces are acting in the same direction to push a rock up a hill. It means that net force is equal to the sum of these two forces.

So,

Net force on the rock = 85 N + 60 N

= 145 N

Hence, the net force on the rock is 145 N.

Upper A 12​-pound box sits at rest on a horizontal​ surface, and there is friction between the box and the surface. One side of
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction is : 0.36397

Explanation:

When we have a box on a ramp of angle \alpha , and the box is not sliding because of friction, one analyses the acting forces in a coordinate system system with an axis parallel to the incline.

In such system, the force of gravity acting down the incline is the product of the box's weight times the sine of the angle:

F_g=W\,*\, sin(\alpha)\\F_g=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)

Recall as well that component of the box's weight that contributes to the Normal N (component perpendicular to the ramp) is given by:

N=m*g*cos(\alpha)

and the force of static friction (f) is given as the static coefficient of friction (\mu) times the normal N:

f=\mu *m*g*cos(\alpha)

When the box starts to move, we have that the force of static friction equals this component of the gravity force along the ramp:

f=F_g\\\mu *\,m*g*cos(\alpha)=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)

Now we use this last equation to solve for the coefficient of static friction, recalling that the angle at which the box starts moving is 20 degrees:

\mu *\,m*g*cos(\alpha)=m*g\,*\, sin(\alpha)\\\mu=\frac{sin(\alpha)}{cos(\alpha)}\\\mu = tan(\alpha)\\\mu=tan(20^o)\\\mu=0.36397

Bob and Lily are riding on a typical carousel. Bob rides on a horse near the outer edge of the circular platform, and Lily rides
jekas [21]

Answer:

B.the same as Lily's.

Explanation:

When a disc is rotating on its axis uniformly with some angular velocity , every particle on it rotates with the same angular velocity , because every particle on it completes a rotation simultaneously . So in one rotation they take same time . Hence   particles whether on the outer edge or near the axis , all have same angular velocity .

They but differ due to their different linear velocity . Linear velocity of particle near outer edge have greater magnitude.  .

If an object has two forces that are equal in magnitude, but acting on it in opposite directions, what are some possible things
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: The body will be in a position of rest

Explanation:

Since both forces are equal and acting in opposite direction on the body. It will make the body to be in a state of rest or equilibrium because the sum of the forces acting in the body will be zero.
