Answer:

This can spread their weight.

Explanation:

The ladder has a much larger surface area than the firefighter. Hence, his weight is spread out much more than usual, decreasing the pressure on the ice, preventing the ice from breaking/cracking.

Hope this helped!

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

$\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N$

Thus, the net force over the body is:

$F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}$

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

$F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N$

and the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°$

A 50.0 kg object rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$f=140\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the object on a horizontal surface, $m=50\ kg$

coefficient of static friction, $\mu_s=0.3$

coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k=0.2$

horizontal force on the object, $F=140\ N$

<u>Now the value of limiting frictional force offered by the contact surface tending to have a relative motion under the effect of force:</u>

$F_s=\mu_s.N$

where:

$N=$ normal force of reaction acting on the body= weight of the body

$F_s=0.3\times (50\times 9.8)$

$F_s=147\ N$

As we know that the frictional force acting on the body is always in the opposite direction:

So, the frictional force will not be at its maximum and will be equal in magnitude to the applied external force and hence the body will not move.

so, the frictional force will be:

$f=140\ N$

AleksAgata [21]

Av Speed = total distance / time time = 32+ 46 / 2.7 = 28 m/sec
Av velocity = total displacement / time total = S / t
S = sqrt( 32^2 +46^2) = 56 m
Av Velocity = 56/ 2,7 = 20.75 m/sec
with angle tan^-1 = 0.7 north west ( about 35 degrees north west)
