A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

ove the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.350. what is the acceleration of the box?

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
F_x - F_f = ma
a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2

Hii please help i’ll give brainliest if you give a correct answer please please hurry it’s timed
Zina [86]

Answer: The answer is A for sure

Explanation:

That is, there will be no acceleration. If you are sitting at rest in a chair and the upward push of the chair is equal to the downward pull of gravity, you will stay at rest in the chair. ... You now have an unbalanced force acting on you and therefore, according to Newton's First Law, your motion is going to change.

Plz give brainlest :)

Consider a mechanical clutch that consists of two heavy disks that can engage or disengage. At the beginning disk 1 with mass m1
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

w = 4,786 rad / s ,  f = 0.76176 Hz

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the concept of angular momentum

       L = I w

The system is formed by the two discs, during the impact the system remains isolated, we have the forces are internal, this implies that the external torque is zero and the angular momentum is conserved

Initial Before sticking

      L₀ = 0 + I₂ w₂

Final after coupling

      L_{f} = (I₁ + I₂) w

The moments of inertia of a disk with an axis of rotation in its center are

      I = ½ M R²

How the moment is preserved

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I₂ w₂ = (I₁ + I₂) w

      w = w₂ I₂ / (I₁ + I₂)

Let's reduce the units to the SI System

      d₁ = 60 cm = 0.60 m

      d₂ = 40 cm = 0.40 m

      f₂ = 200 min-1 (1 min / 60 s) = 3.33 Hz

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w₂ = 2 π f₂

      w₂ = 2π 3.33

      w₂ = 20.94 rad / s

Let's replace

       w = w₂ (½ M₂ R₂²) / (½ M₁ R₁² + ½ M₂ R₂²)

       w = w₂ M₂ R₂² / (M₁ R₁² + M₂ R₂²)

Let's calculate

      w = 20.94 8 0.40² / (12 0.60² + 8 0.40²)

      w = 20.94 1.28 / 5.6

      w = 4,786 rad / s

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

      w = 2π f

      f = w / 2π

      f = 4.786 / 2π

      f = 0.76176 Hz

A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to re- turn to her. For the angle and ball involved, the acceleration of the bal
zalisa [80]

Answer:

3.28 m

3.28 s

Explanation:

We can adopt a system of reference with an axis along the incline, the origin being at the position of the girl and the positive X axis going up slope.

Then we know that the ball is subject to a constant acceleration of 0.25*g (2.45 m/s^2) pointing down slope. Since the acceleration is constant we can use the equation for constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

X0 = 0

V0 = 4 m/s

a = -2.45 m/s^2 (because the acceleration is down slope)

Then:

X(t) = 4*t - 1.22*t^2

And the equation for speed is:

V(t) = V0 + a * t

V(t) = 4 - 2.45 * t

If we equate this to zero we can find the moment where it stops and begins rolling down, that will be the highest point:

0 = 4 - 2.45 * t

4 = 2.45 * t

t = 1.63 s

Replacing that time on the position equation:

X(1.63) = 4 * 1.63 - 1.22 * 1.63^2 = 3.28 m

To find the time it will take to return we equate the position equation to zero:

0 = 4 * t - 1.22 * t^2

Since this is a quadratic equation it will have to answers, one will be the moment the ball was released (t = 0), the other will eb the moment when it returns:

0 = t * (4 - 1.22*t)

t1 = 0

0 = 4 - 1.22*t2

1.22 * t2 = 4

t2 = 3.28 s
