You push against a steamer trunk with a force of 800 n at an angle alpha with the horizontal . the trunk is on a flat floor and

the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and floor is 0.55. the mass of the trunk is 87 kg. what is the largest value of alpha that will allow you to move the trunk?

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

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
Rama09 [41]

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.

If you wanted to increase your muscular endurance, it would be important to participate in activities that __________.
Maurinko [17]
In order to increase muscular endurance, it is important to take part in activities that increase the size of muscle cells and the amount of blood that is delivered to the cells<span>. The increased size of the muscle cells reuires them to contract less to accomplish the same task; moreover, the increased blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the blood.</span>

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

1- Density increase as the temperature decreases. This is the reason why liquid water is more dense than solid water.

2- The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity.

3- not really sure for that one...I will think about that.

4- same reason for number 3
