Answer:

The greatest horizontal force that can be exerted without moving the table is 168.56N.

Explanation:

The maximum friction force is determined from the coefficient of static friction as follows:

F_{fr}=\mu\cdot F_{norm} = 0.43\cdot F_{norm}

where the the normal force is exerted by the ground as a reaction to the weight of the table, and has same magnitude as but opposite direction to the gravitational force on the table:

F_{fr} = 0.43\cdot 40kg\cdot 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 168.56 N

This is the <em>maximum</em> static force, so the friction force will be matching and opposing any horizontal force up to 168.56N.

The force equals the coefficient of static friction times the weight. Use gravity g=9.8 m/s^2
0.43*40*9.8=16.856 N

vampirchik [111]
Power = (voltage) x (current). The motor consumes (12)x(206)=2,472 watts. Some of it is dissipated as heat, but most of it is used to do useful work by turning the engine over to make it start.

Ben Rushin is waiting at a stop light. Turns green, ben accelerated from rest at a rate of 6.00 m/s squared for a time of 4.10 s
Lera25 [3.4K]
D= vt +.5at^2
since he started at rest, v (initial velocity) is 0
so d=.5at^2
d = .5 (6m/s^2) (4.1s)^2 
then put that into a calculator.

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
