Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

QUESTION 3
Alisiya [41]

The force of frictions is opposed to relative motion.

The acceleration of the crate is approximately <u>2.937 m/s²</u>.

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the wood, m = 100 kg

The force which can move the wood, F = 588 N

Wood on wood static friction, \mu_s = 0.5

Wood on wood kinetic friction, \mu_k = 0.3

Solution;

The force of friction, F_f, acting when the crate is moving is given as

follows;

F_f = m × g × \mu_k

Where;

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

F_f = 100 × 9.81 × 0.3 = 294.3

The force of friction, F_f = 294.3 N

The force with which the crate moves, F = 588 - 294.3 = 293.7

The force with which the crate moves, F = 293.7 N

Force = Mass, m × Acceleration, a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

Therefore;

a = \dfrac{293.7 \ N}{100 \ kg} = 2.937

The acceleration of the crate, a ≈ <u>2.937 m/s²</u>.

What is the acceleration of a boy on a skateboard if the net force on the boy is 15 N? The total mass of the boy and the skatebo
Stels [109]
                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the full 15N is pointing parallel to the ground,
then

                                   15 N  =  (58 kg) x (acceleration).

Divide each side
by  58 kg:                   Acceleration = 15 N / 58 kg

                                                         = (15 kg-m/s²) / (58 kg)

                                                         = (15/58) (kg-m/kg-s²)

                                                         =  0.26 m/s² .
