Which term below best describes the forces on an object with a a net force of zero?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

B. Balanced Forces

Explanation:

The net force is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. Therefore, if the forces are balanced, they will counteract each other, causing the net force to be zero, then the object will continue at rest or moving with constant velocity.

a man drags a 8.10 kg bag of mulch at a constant speed, applying a 29.5 N at 38°. what is the coefficient of friction?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction is 0.38.

Explanation:

The free body diagram is drawn below.

Let $f$ be frictional force acting in the backward direction as shown. Let the coefficient of friction be $\mu$ . Let $N$ be the normal reaction force acting on the bag.

Given:

Mass of the bag is, $m=8.10\textrm{ kg}$

Force acting at $\theta = 38$ ° is $F= 29.5\textrm{ N}$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}$

The force F can be resolved into its components as $F_{x}=F \cos \theta$ and $F_{y}=F \sin \theta$

Therefore,

$F_{x}=29.5\cos(38)=23.25\textrm{ N}\\F_{y}=29.5\sin(38)=18.16\textrm{ N}$

Now, as there is no acceleration in vertical direction, therefore,

Sum of upward forces = Sum of downward forces

$N+F_{y}=mg\\N=mg-F_{y}=8.10\times 9.8-18.16\\N=79.38-18.16=61.22\textrm{ N}$

Now, as the bag is moving at a constant speed, so acceleration in the horizontal direction is also zero as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Therefore, backward force = forward force.

$f=F_{x}\\f=23.25\textrm{ N}$

Now, frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N\\\mu = \frac{f}{N}=\frac{23.25}{61.22}=0.38$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.38.

Block b rests upon a smooth surface. if the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a and b are μs = 0.4 and μk = 0.

aliina [53]

Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

2.173a = 6

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

We can change a gas to liquid by the temperature and the pressure.

hodyreva [135]

I am not sure how you want me to answer this, but yes, gas can go from being a gas to a liquid when the right temp and pressure is applied.
