Answer:

The minimum coefficient of static friction required, µ = 0.10

<em>Note. The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:</em>

<em>While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, a driver is pulled over by the state police. Although the log cannot roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. The driver claims that the truck could not possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket anyway and now the driver court date is approaching.</em>

<em>The log has a mass of m = 929 kg; the truck has a mass of M = 8850 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 23.0 seconds, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction μs needed to keep the log in the back of the truck.</em>

Explanation:

First, velocity in mph is converted to m/s

1 mph = 0.447 m/s

55 mph ≈ 24.6 m/s

The acceleration of the empty truck is a = v/t = 24.6 / 23 = 1.07 m/s²

Force that can be generated by the truck, F = ma

F = 8850kg * 1.07 m/s² = 9469.5 N

However, with the added mass of the log on it, the acceleration of the truck will become;

a = F / m = 9469.5 N / (8550+929)kg = 0.97 m/s²

Frictional force between the log and the truck = 0.97 m/s² * 929 kg = 901.13 N

Normal reaction on the truck due to the weight of the log, R = mg

R = 929 kg * 9.8m/s² = 9104.2 N

Coefficient of static friction, µ = F/R

µ = 901.13/9104.2

µ = 0.098 ≈ 0.10

Therefore, the minimum static friction required is µ = 0.10

The answer is D. If you aren't consistent with your drop positions, then your data may be invalid. To be frank: it basically screws over the experiment.

Research indicate that men and women of different races expectationz regarding to gender roles. Which of these statements regard
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Asian American women are more likely than Asian American men to value egalitarian roles for men and women.

Explanation:

Gender biased has made the environment have different races expectation regarding to gender role.

A socialist feminine (Anita) believes that the oppression of women is based on the capitalist economy.

Parent influence an individuals on their lives socialization.

Some expectations of gender expectation.

1. Men are expected to gain more income, power, and social standing than females.

2. Using biological determinism, it shows that women are more hormonal and men are more aggressive.

3. Few percent of women are in the paid labor force while, large percent of men are in the paid labor force.

4. There is occupational segregation and this why women make up 97% of secretaries and 95% of child-care workers.

5. It is believed that women live longer than men, and this might be due to the stress the man has gone through during is life.

6. In general, men and women differ physically from but women have greater endurance than men.

There should be gender equality because *The Equal Pay Act of 1963" says that men and women receive equal pay for equal work.

Sexual harassment is a form of overt discrimination that has a negative impact on women's.

But today, both men and women say it is not fair for men to be the sole decision maker in the household.

Research on the impact of peer relationships on socialization have found that

1. for boys and girls peers reinforce age and racial norms as well as gender expectations.

2. gender norms are applied more strictly to boys than to girls.

3. homophobia serves to reinforce gender norms.
