a box having a mass of 50 kg is dragged across a horizontal floor by means of a rope tied on the front of it. the coefficient of

friction between the box and the floor is .3. if the angle between the rope and the floor is 30 degrees, what force must be exerted on the rope to move the box with an acceleration of 2.5 m/second squared

Answer: 148.263 N

Explanation:

If we draw a free body diagram of the describes situation we will have the following:

Net force in x:

-F_{fr}+Fcos\theta=0 (1)

Where:

F_{fr}=\mu_{k}N is the friction force

F is the force exerted on the rope to move the box

\theta=30\° is the angle

Net force in y:

N+Fsin\theta-W=0 (2)

Where:

N is the Normal force

W=mg is the force due gravity on the box (its weight), being m=50 kg the mass of the box and g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Rewritting (2):

N+m a sin\theta-mg=0 (3)

Where a=2.5 m/s^{2}

N=m(g-a sin\theta) (4)

N=50 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}-(2.5 m/s^{2}) sin30\°) (5)

N=428 N (6) This is the value of the normal force

Rewritting (1):

-\mu_{k}N+Fcos\theta=0 (6)

Finding F:

F=\frac{\mu_{k}N}{cos 30\°} (7)

F=\frac{(0.3)(428 N)}{cos 30\°}

Finally:

F=148.263 N

Think about the mice shown below. Using the space below numbered 1, describe what is happening from figure 1 to 3.​
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: Natural selection is taking place.

Explanation:

As you can see, the lighter colored mice are more visible than their surroundings, so the hawk picks them off one by one. the brown mice on the other hand are less visible, blending in with their surroundings, so they are successful, and pass on the genes that allow them to survive better.
