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

A factory line moves parts for an automobile at a constant speed of 0.22 m/s. How long does it take the parts to move 8.5 m alon
OleMash [197]

Answer: C. 39 s

Explanation:

We know the constant speed is 0.22 m/s. We have to get to 8.5 m. We divide <u>8.5 m by 0.22</u> = 38.6. After we estimate, 6 is greater than 5, so 39 s.

List 5 possible effects of not adhering to standards of measurement
Bond [772]

Explanation:

Without the metric system, we'd have a different International System of Units, the metric system is important because 1mm is 0.1cm, 1 cm is 0.01m, with the imperial system the conversion is tedious. The most important feature of the metric system is its base in scientific fact and repeatable standards of measurement

Batman (mass = 88.8 kg) jumps straight down from a bridge into a boat (mass = 530 kg) in which a criminal is fleeing. The veloci
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it is 2.08 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of batman m_{1}= 88.8\ kg

Mass of boat m_{2}=530\ kg

Initial velocity = 14.5 m/s

We need to calculate the velocity of boat

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u=(m_{1}+m_{2})v...(I)

Where, m_{1}=mass of batman

m_{2} =mass of boat

u=initial velocity

v = velocity of boat

Put the value in the equation

88.8\times14.5=530+88.8\times v

v=\dfrac{88.8\times14.5}{530+88.8}

v=2.08\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the boat after Batman lands in it is 2.08 m/s.

Do you mean what order the Earth is in? The planets in order from closest to farthest from the sun are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto is technically just a dwarf planet but I'll include it anyways.
