The force of friction is 330 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the crate in this problem, we have 3 forces acting on it:

- The force applied by the 1st child, F_1 = 150 N forward

- The force applied by the 2nd child, F_2 = 180 N

- The force of friction, F_f, acting backward

So the net  force is

\sum F = F_1 + F_2 - F_f

We also know that the crate remains stationary, which means that its acceleration is zero:

a = 0

Therefore, we can rewrite Newton's second law as

F_1 + F_2 - F_f = 0

From which we find

F_f = F_1+F_2 = 150 + 180 =330 N

A spherical asteroid of average density would have a mass of 8.7×1013kg if its radius were 2.0 km. 1. If you and your spacesuit
Law Incorporation [45]

1. 0.16 N

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=8.7\cdot 10^{13}kg is the mass of the asteroid

m = 100 kg is the mass of the man

r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid

Substituting, we find

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})\frac{(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)(110 kg)}{(2000 m)^2}=0.16 N

2. 1.7 m/s

In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(8.7\cdot 10^{13} kg)}{2000 m}}=1.7 m/s

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b
Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

\theta = Angle of slide = 20.7°

\mu = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J

A 2.0 kg block has a rope attached to the block on a table and is pulled with a force of 8.0 N. The block accelerated at 2.5m/s^
Masja [62]

Answer:

0.15

Explanation:

Assuming the rope is horizontal, sum the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − Nμ = ma

Substitute:

F − mgμ = ma

mgμ = F − ma

μ = (F − ma) / (mg)

Plug in values:

μ = (8.0 N − 2.0 kg × 2.5 m/s²) / (2.0 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.15

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .
