You are working as a letter sorter in a U.S. Post Office. Postal regulations require that employees' footwear must have a minimu

m coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a coworker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.38 m in 1.21 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation?

Answer:

  μ = 0.66,    therefore if it compiesy with the regulations

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in part, let's start by finding with kinematics the acceleration of man

           y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as it starts from rest the initial velocity is zero

          y = ½ a t²

          a = \frac{2y}{t^2}

          a =\frac{2 \ 4.38}{1.21^2}  

          a = 6.46 m / s²

Now let's use Newton's second law,

Axis y

         N- W = 0

         N = W

         N = m g

X axis

on this axis the man exerts a backward force and by the law of action and reaction the floor exerts a forward force of the same magnitude, this forward force is the friction force.

         fr = m a

     

the friction force has an expression

          fr = my N

let's substitute

      μ mg = m a

      μ = a / g

   

let's calculate

     μ = 6.46 / 9.8

     μ = 0.66

therefore if you comply with the regulations

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7m/s2.​ We want
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

It is given that, Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10 m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7 m/s².

The second equation of kinematics gives the relationship between the height reached and time taken by it.

Here, the ball is droped under the action of gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Mars is positive.

We want to know how many seconds the basketball is in the air before it hits the ground. So, the formula is :

\Delta x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

t is time taken by the ball to hit the ground

v_o is initial speed of the ball

So, the correct option is (A).

Answer:

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to infinite line charge distribution at some distance from it is given as

E = \frac{2k \lambda}{r}

now we need to find the electric field at mid point of two wires

So here we need to add the field due to two wires as they are oppositely charged

Now we will have

E_{net} = \frac{2k\lambda_1}{r} + \frac{2k\lambda_2}{r}

now plug in all data

\lambda_1 = 4.68 \muC/m

\lambda_2 = 2.48 \mu C/m

r = 0.200 m

now we have

E_{net} = \frac{2k}{r}(4.68 + 2.48)

E_{net} = \frac{2(9\times 10^9)}{0.200}(7.16 \times 10^{-6})

E_{net} = 6.44 \times 10^5 N/C

A bulldozer does 4,500 J of work to push a mound of soil to the top of a ramp that is 15 m high. The ramp is at an angle of 35°
spin [16.1K]

<em>Answer</em>


Force = 170 N



<em>Explanation</em>

First find the distance (d) travelled by the bulldozer.


Sin 35 = 15/d

d = 15/(sin 35)

= 26.15m


Now;

work done = force × distance.


4500 J = force × 26.15


dividing both sides by 26.15,


Force = 4500/26.15

= 172.07 N


Answer to two significant figures = 170 N
