Answer:

a) 4.98m/s²

b) 481.66N

Explanation:

a) Using the Newtons second law of motion

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\Wsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - F_f = ma_x\\

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting along the plane

Ff is the frictional force opposing the moving froce

a is the acceleration of the skier

Given

m = 60kg

g = 9.8m/s²

\theta = 35°

Ff = 38.5N

Required

acceleration of the skier a

Substituting into the formula;

60(9.8)sin 35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\588sin35^0 - 38.5 = 60a\\337.26 - 38.5 = 60a\\298.76 = 60a\\a = 298.76/60\\a = 4.98m/s^2\\

Hence the acceleration of the skier is 4.98m/s²

b) The normal force on the skier is expressed as;

N = Wcosθ

N = mgcosθ

N = 60(9.8)cos 35°

N = 588cos 35°

N = 481.66N

Hence the normal force on the skier is 481.66N

A 300 kg piano needs to be moved to the other side of the room. The maximum static frictional force is equal to 90 N and the kin
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a = 0.1 m/s²

Explanation:

  • If the maximum static frictional force is 90 N, this means that any applied force that will overcome this force, will cause the piano to slide, so kinetic frictional force applies.
  • Under these conditions, the net force in the horizontal direction is just the difference between the applied force (which is larger that the static friction force) and the kinetic frictional force, as follows:

       F_{net}  = F_{app} -F_{frk}  = 100 N - 70 N = 30 N (1)

  • By the same token, according Newton's 2nd Law, this force is just equal to the product of the mass of the piano, times the acceleration, as follows:

       F_{net} = m* a = 300 Kg * a = 30 N (2)

  • Solving for a:

        a = \frac{F_{net}}{m} = \frac{30 N}{300kg} = 0.1 m/s2 (3)

When a wheel is rotated through an angle of 21◦ , a point on the circumference travels through an arc length of 2.1 m. When the
LiRa [457]

Answer:

R = 5.73 m

Explanation:

For an angle of rotation through 21 degree we know that

arc length is given as

angle \times Radius = Arc

now we know that

Arc = 2.1 m

Angle = 21 degree

Angle = 21\times \frac{\pi}{180}

so now we have

21\times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2.1}{R}

R = \frac{2.1 \times 180}{21 \times \pi}

R = 5.73 m
