You happen to know that the coefficient of static friction between your patio table and the ground is 0.42. You decide you want

to move it (45kg) by pushing on it. Are you able to move the table?

Answer:

If the force applied is larger than 185.2 N, yes.

Explanation:

In order to move the table, the pushing force must be larger than the frictional force. The frictional force is given by:

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu=0.42$ is the coefficient of static friction

$m=45 kg$ is the mass of the table

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration

Substituting,

$F_f=(0.42)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=185.2 N$

So, we are able to move the table if we push with a force larger than 185.2 N.

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$V=16.65 m^3$

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

$R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg$

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

$F_b=18.5kg*g$

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

$P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3$

$P_A=1.29 kg/m^3$

$F_b=F_A-F_H$

$F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g$

$m=P/V$

$18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g$

$V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}$

$V=16.65 m^3$

A proton moving at 3.90 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.80 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\theta=40^0$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

$F_m=evB\sin\theta$

To find the angle, we make $\sin\theta$ subject of the formula

$\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}$

$\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641$

$\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0$

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?

PtichkaEL [24]

D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

Explain why you cannot use mass or volume alone to identify substances.

Alex17521 [72]

Objects can have the same mass (but different <span>compositions). Only mass or volume cannot tell you if the object is solid or vo</span>lumes) or same volume (but different masses)
