Samantha is refinishing her rusty wheelbarrow. She moves her sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time movi

ng with a total distance of 0.12 m. Samantha pushes the sandpaper against the surface with a normal force of 2.6 N. The coefficient of friction for the metal/sandpaper interface is 0.92. How much work is done by the normal force during the sanding process

Answer:

W = 12.96 J

Explanation:

The force acting in the direction of motion of the sand paper is the frictional force. So, we first calculate the frictional force:

F = μR

where,

F = Friction Force = ?

μ = 0.92

R = Normal Force = 2.6 N

Therefore,

F = (0.92)(2.6 N)

F = 2.4 N

Now, the displacement is given as:

d = (0.12 m)(45)

d = 5.4 m

So, the work done will be:

W = F d

W = (2.4 N)(5.4 m)

<u>W = 12.96 J</u>

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, find its hang time.
weqwewe [10]
The height of the projectile is given by:
h = ut - 0.5at²

The height will be 0 twice, once at t = 0 and the second time at the time when the journey has been completed, or t = hang time.
0 = 7.3t - 0.5(9.81)t²
t = 1.49 seconds

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law
