antsy andy tries to push his 6kg desk away from him and finds that it takes him 12 N of force to start the desk from rest and 8
N to keep it moving at constant velocity. what are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction?
1 answer:
Answer:
static coefficient = 0,203 & kinetic coefficient = 0,14
Explanation:
There are two (2) conditions, when the desk is about to move and when the desk is moving. In the attachements you can see the two free body diagram for each condition.
In the first condition, there is no movement and the force is 12 N, in the image we can see the total forces are equal to 0 and by the definition of the friction force we can get the static friction coefficient.
In the second condition there is movement in the direction of the force which is equal to 8 N, again by the definition of the friction force we can get the kinetic friction coefficient. Since the desk is moving with constant velocity there is not acceleration.

Observer A is moving inside the train
so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame
So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all
Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body
So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform
Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction
So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate
Now as per Newton's II law
F = ma
Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion
So we can say
- F = ma
so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate
It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train
So there is no effect on train motion
Answer:
a) perfectly inelastic, b) collision is inelastic, c) elastic
Explanation:
In this exercise, it is asked to identify what type of shock occurs between the skater and the frisbee, for this we must define a system formed by the skater and the fribee, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the amount of movement is preserved
Initial instant. Before the skater touches the frisbee
p₀ = M v₁ + m v₂
where M and m are the masses of the skater and frisbee, respectively
for the final moment they give us several possibilities, in all case the moment is conserved
p₀ =
case a)
Final instant. grabs the frisbee and holds it
p_{f} = (M + m) v '
p₀ = p_{f}
We can see that this shock is perfectly inelastic, it holds the fressbee
case b)
final instant.
This case is similar to the previous one, but the final speed of fresbee is zero, therefore this collision is inelastic and the kinetic energy is not conserved.
case c)
final instant. Grab the fressbee and resend it
this is an elastic Shock since the equivalent of a rebound of the fressbee, the kinetic energy is conserved.
