That statement is false. It's exactly the opposite direction.

In circular motion, the "centripetal" force ... and therefore the centripetal acceleration ... points TOWARD the center.

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 37.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 92.0 NN toolbox, cau

eduard

Answer:

The speed is $v =8.17 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of slant is $\theta = 37.0^o$

The weight of the toolbox is $W_t = 92.0N$

The mass of the toolbox is $m = \frac{92}{9.8} = 9.286kg$

The start point is $d = 4.25m$ from lower edge of roof

The kinetic frictional force is $F_f = 22.0N$

Generally the net work done on this tool box can be mathematically represented as

$Net \ work done = Workdone \ due \ to \ Weight + Workdone \ due \ to \ Friction$

The workdone due to weigh is = $mgsin \theta * d$

The workdone due to friction is = $F_f \ cos\theta * d$

Substituting this into the equation for net workdone

$W_{net} = mgsin\theta * d + F_f \ cos \theta *d$

Substituting values

$W_{net} = 92 * sin (37) * 4.25 + 22 cos (37) * 4.25$

$= 309.98 J$

According to work energy theorem

$W_{net} = \Delta Kinetic \ Energy$

$W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} m (v - u)^2$

From the question we are told that it started from rest so u = 0 m/s

$W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} * m v^2$

Making v the subject

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 W_{net}}{m} }$

Substituting value

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 309.98}{9.286} }$

$v =8.17 m/s$

what factors go into decisions about changing what materials should be used when building a products

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

you need to consider the use for the product, how brittle the materials are, how they react to certain things, the cost of the materials, the durability and flexibility of the materials, and how easy to obtain the materials are as well as how they would work and how they would hold

A force of 10. N toward the right is exerted on a wooden crate initially moving to the right on a horizontal wooden floor. the c

Artyom0805 [142]

1) 5 N

The crate is initially moving, so we must calculate the force of kinetic friction, which is given by:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k=0.2$ is the coefficient of friction between the crate (made of wood) and the floor (made of wood). The coefficient of kinetic friction between wood and wood is about 0.2.

$mg=25 N$ is the weight of the crate

Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

$F_f=(0.2)(25 N)=5 N$

2) 5 N

There are two forces acting on the crate along the horizontal direction:

- The force that pushes the crate toward the right, of magnitude $F=10 N$

- The force of friction, which acts in the opposite direction (so, towards the left), of magnitude $F_f = 5 N$

Since the two forces are in opposite directions, the net force is given by their difference:

$F_{net}=F-F_f = 10 N-5 N=5 N$

3) Yes

The crate is accelerating. In fact, according to Second Newton's Law:

$F_{net}=ma$ (1)

where Fnet is the net force on the crate, m is its mass, a is its acceleration. We can immediately see that since Fnet is not zero, the acceleration is also non-zero, so the crate is accelerating.

We can even calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. In fact, the mass of the crate is given by:

$m=\frac{Weight}{g}=\frac{25 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=2.55 kg$

And by using (1) we find

$a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{5 N}{2.55 kg}=1.96 m/s^2$
