Answer: 0m/s²

Explanation:

Since the forces acting along the plane are frictional force(Ff) and moving force(Fm), we will take the sum of the forces along the plane

According newton's law of motion

Summation of forces along the plane = mass × acceleration

Frictional force is always acting upwards the plane since the body will always tends to slide downwards on an inclined plane and the moving acts down the plane

Ff = nR where

n is coefficient of friction = tan(theta)

R is normal reaction = Wcos(theta)

Fm = Wsin(theta)

Substituting in the formula of newton's first law we have;

Fm-Ff = ma

Wsin(theta) - nR = ma

Wsin(theta) - n(Wcos(theta)) = ma... 1

Given

W = 562N, theta = 30°, n = tan30°, m = 56.2kg

Substituting in eqn 1,

562sin30° - tan30°(562cos30°) = 56.2a

281 - 281 = 56.2a

0 = 56.2a

a = 0m/s²

This shows that the trunk is not accelerating

sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \  by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.​
