Answer:

a) F = 353.2 N

b) F_{f} = 147.2 N

   a = 4.21 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The minimum force necessary to start moving the box s given by:       

\Sigma F = 0

F - \mu_{s}N = 0

F = \mu_{s}mg

Where:

F: is the force applied to move the box

μs: is the static coefficient of friction = 0.6          

m: is the mass = 60 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

F = 0.6*60 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} = 353.2 N

b) The acceleration is:

F - F_{f} = ma

F - \mu_{k}mg = ma              

a = \frac{F - \mu_{k}mg}{m} = \frac{400 N - 0.25*60 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{60 kg} = 4.21 m/s^{2}

Now, the friction force is:

F_{f} = \mu_{k}mg = 0.25*60 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} = 147.2 N

I hope it helps you!

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf
kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy  

V0x = V0 cos(θ) 

V0y = V0 sin(θ) 

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2 

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant  

Vx = Vocos(θ) 

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t 

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t 

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

The cheetah can maintain its maximum speed for only 7.5 s. What is the minimum distance the gazelle must be ahead of the cheetah
amm1812

Basically the cheetah is running 31.5km/h faster than the gazelle. So to determone how long it will take to cover 9mm at that speed, you have to a lot of work. If you skip all of that work, the answer is 1.60m seconds

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s
