A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is

loris [4]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is $1.82\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 750 N

Mass of the crate, m = 250 kg

The coefficient of friction is 0.12.

We need to find the acceleration of the crate. The net force acting on the crate is given by :

$F=ma\\\\F-f=ma$

f is frictional force, $f=\mu N=\mu mg$

$F-\mu mg=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F-\mu mg}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{750-0.12\times 250\times 9.8}{250}\\\\a=1.82\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the crate is $1.82\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

You throw a 3.00 N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is 16.0 m above the ground, it is tr

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The final speed of the stone as it lift the ground is 23.86 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the rock, F = 3 N

Distance, d = 16 m

Initial speed of the stone, u = 22 m/s

We need to find the rock's speed just as it left the ground. It can be calculated using work energy theorem as :

$W=\Delta E\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\Fd=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\v^2=\dfrac{2Fd}{m}+u^2\\\\v^2=\dfrac{2mgd}{m}+u^2\\\\v^2=2\times 9.8\times 16+(16)^2\\\\v=23.86\ m/s$

So, the final speed of the stone as it lift the ground is 23.86 m/s.

here is a true or false Question pl,ease help..... . In a closed system, the volume of a gas is not related to the volume of its

KIM [24]

There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Solid has a shape and volume of its own. A liquid takes the shape of the container does not occupy entirely the volume of the container. For gas, it takes the shape of the container as well as taking the volume of the container. In this case, if the system is only composed of gas, the statement given is true.
