Answer:

a)  T = -22796.5 N,  b)  F = 3000 N

Explanation:

a) For this part we use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference frame with the x-axis in the direction of motion and the y-axis in the vertical direction.

We make a free-body diagram for each body,

the tractor has the bar force (T) and the push force (F) and the friction force (fr₁)

Y axis

        N₁ -W₁ = 0

        N₁ = M₁ g

X axis

        F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a

the Trailer has the bar force (T) and the friction force (fr₂)

Y axis  

      N₂ - W₂ = 0

      N₂ = m₂ g

X axis

     T - fr₂ = m₂ a

let's write the system of equations

      F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a          (1)

           T - fr₂ = m₂ a

we solve

       F - (fr₁ + fr₂) = (M₁ + m₂) a

indicate that the total friction forces are fr = 3000N

       fr = fr₁ + fr₂

         

        F =\frac{(M_1+m_2) a}{fr}

         

let's calculate

        F =\frac{(2000+1500) \ 3}{3000}

        F = 3.5 N

The friction force is

       fr = μ N

the norm of the system is N = N₁ + N₂

       μ = \frac{fr}{N_1 + N_2}

       μ = \frac{3000}{2000+1500}

       μ = 0.858

with this value we can find the friction force 1 and substitute in equation 1

       F - T - μ N₁ = M₁ a

       T = F - M₁ (a + μ g)

        T = 3.5 - 2000 (3 + 0.858  9.8)

        T = -22796.5 N

b) when the system moves with constant velocity the acceleration is zero

            F - T - fr₁ = 0

                  T - fr₂ = 0

we solve

           F + (fr₁ + fr₂) = 0

           F = fr₁ + fr₂

           F = 3000 N

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel,and a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds of its travel

20miles / 5sec = 4miles /sec would be the average speed for the last 20 m

Explanation:

The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).

The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:

v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:

d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)

t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:

v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s
