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)

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.
