Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

We're adding two vectors here.  The first is 300 Newtons to the right, which we can write as (300, 0), meaning 300 to the right, 0 up.

The second is 300 at let's say a 45 degree angle down.  For the components we have an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse 300, so the components are both magnitude 300/√2 = 150√2.  So we can write this vector (150√2, -150√2), the negative sign because it points down in the y direction.

Adding is componentwise.  The resulting force is (300+150√2, -150√2).

That has square magnitude

r² = (300+150√2)² + (-150√2)² = 150² ( (2+√2)² + (√2)² )

= 150²( (6 + 4√2) + 2)

= 300²(2+√2)

so

r = 300 √(2+√2) Newtons

That's the answer; I'm not sure if your class expects a calculator approximation, which is 554.3 Newtons.

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.

What are the answers please help
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2cm

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

c.) 10.27 cm

d.)  10.31 cm

e.)  10.24 cm  

Explanation:

The figure depicts a vernier caliper readings

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2 cm

The reading before the vernier scale

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

the point where the main scale and vernier scale meet

c.) The observed readings is

10.2 + 0.07 = 10.27 cm

d.) If the instrument has a positive zero error of 4 division

correct reading = 10.27 + 0.04 = 10.31cm

e.)  If the instrument has a negative zero error of 3 division

correct reading = 10.27 - 0.03 = 10.24cm
