A girl exerts a horizontal force of 109 N on a crate with a mass of 31.2 kg. HINT (a) If the crate doesn't move, what's the magn
itude of the static friction force (in N)? 109 Correct: Your answer is correct. The static friction force is fs ≤ μsn. For an object with no acceleration at rest on a surface, fs equals the particular value required to keep the object at rest on the surface. N (b) What is the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor? (Assume the crate remains stationary.)
If the acceleration of a body is zero at some instant in time, it implies that the velocity is not changing at that point in time. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
✓Acceleration and velocity shares a very close relationship.
✓ For a body to accelerate, the velocity must change. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.
✓If at any point, a body moves with constant velocity i.e the velocity does not change with time, the acceleration becomes zero.
✓ For acceleration to occur, a body must change velocity.
Given there are three blocks of masses , and (ref image in attachment)
When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by
F = ( + + ) *a ................(equation 1)
Also it is given that does not move with respect to , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by only, Hence tension T is
T = *a ..........(equation 2)
There is also also tension exerted by . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by
T = ................(equation 3)
From equation 2 and 3, we get
*a =
Squaring both sides we get
* = * (+)
* = ( * )+ ( *)
( - ) * = *
= */( - )
Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a
a = *g/()
Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get
Newton’s First Law of Motion - if an object is at rest, it takes un-
balanced forces to make it move. Conversely, if an object is moving
it takes an unbalanced force to make it change it’s direction or speed.
Newton was the first to see that such apparently diverse phenomena as a satellite moving near the Earth's surface and the planets orbiting the Sun operate by the same principle: Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration, or F=ma.
In general we have the following relation between the Electric Field and the Elecric Potential:
Due to the vector nature of the electric filed, we can only know the mean Electric field E across the membrane, and take it out from the integral, that is:
E = (ΔV)/L
Where L is the thickness of the membrane and ΔV is the potential difference.
