Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

Calculate the power required of a 60-kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters high in 10 seconds.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time

-Don't have energy so I'm gonna solve for it

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height

= 60 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 5m

= 2940 J

Power = Energy/time

=2940 J/10 s

= 294 W

Complete Question

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 650 N horizontal force to set it in motion. After the clock is in motion, a horizontal force of 560 N keeps it moving with a constant velocity. Find the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:

The value for static friction is $\mu_s = 0.60$

The value for static friction is $\mu_k = 0.70$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the clock is $m = 95 \ kg$

The first horizontal force is $F _s = 560 \ N$

The second horizontal force is $F _k = 650 \ N$

Generally the static frictional force is equal to the first horizontal force

So

$F _s = m * g * \mu_s$

=> $560 = 95 * 9.8 * \mu_s$

=> $\mu_s = 0.60$

Generally the kinetic frictional force is equal to the second horizontal force

So

$F _k = m * g * \mu_k$

$650 = 95 * 9.8 * \mu_k$

$\mu_k = 0.70$

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. If g-9.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

0.31

Explanation:

horizontal force, F = 750 N

mass of crate, m = 250 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

The friction force becomes applied force = 750 N

According to the laws of friction,

Friction force = μ x Normal reaction of the surface

here, μ be the coefficient of friction

750 = μ x m g

750 = μ x 250 x 9.8

μ = 0.31

Thus, the coefficient of static friction is 0.31.

I don’t know how to answer this question? Can anyone help?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

F=ma

here F is force, m is mass and a is accelaration,

According to the question,

F=3*F= 3F

m= 1/3 of m= m/3

a= ?

so the equation becomes,

3F= m/3*a

3F*3= ma

9F=ma

F= ma/9

Therefore accelaration reduces by 1/9.

I am not very sure.
