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

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 90.0 units and a y component of -61.0 units. A) Assuming the x co
kvasek [131]

Answer:

A) magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

B)22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Explanation:

given vector = V1 = x i - 60 j

magnitude of V1 = 90

x - component can be found out by resultant formula

90^2 = x^2 + (-60)^2

x = 67.08 = 67.1 units (3sf)

FOR THE VECTOR 80 UNITS IN -VE X DIRECTION

The X component is -80-------(1)

The Y component is 0 ---------(2)

<u>For the x- component of new added vector:</u>

(1)----------- x + 67.1 = -80

x = -147.1 = -147.1

<u>For the y- component of new added vector:</u>

<u>(</u>2)---------- y - 61  = 0

y = 61.0 (3sf)

the new added vector is  = -147.1 i + 61 j

magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

direction = arctan (61 / 147.1)

               = 22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Diferencie energia cinética de energia potencial gravitacional.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Featured snippet from the web

The atoms and molecules in it are in constant motion. The kinetic energy of such a body is the measure of its temperature. Potential energy is classified depending on the applicable restoring force. Gravitational potential energy – potential energy of an object which is associated with gravitational force

The atomic number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
Goryan [66]
A related type of beta decay actually decreases the atomic number of the nucleus when a proton becomes a neutron. Due to charge conservation, this type of beta decay involves the release of a charged particle called a “positron” that looks and acts like an electron but has a positive charge.

a truck drives up a hill with a 15 incline. if the truck has a constant speed of 22m/s, what are the horizontal and vertical com
Kamila [148]

Answer:

speed of truck (v) =  22 m/s ,

angle of hill (Θ) =15°

Find

Vertical component (Fv) = ?

Harizontal component (Fh) =?

               Vertical component (Fh) = V cosΘ

                                                        = 22. cos 15

                                                        = 21.25 m/s.

               Harizontal component (Fv) = V sinΘ

                                                            = 22. sin 15

                                                            = 5.69 m/s.
