Answer:

The SI unit of force is the newton, symbol N. The base units relevant to force are: The metre, unit of length — symbol m. The kilogram, unit of mass — symbol kg.

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

b) \mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

\Sigma F_{y}=0

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

-F_{y}-W+N=0

When solving for the normal force we get:

N=F_{y}+W

we know that

W=mg

and

F_{y}=Fsin \theta

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}N

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

\Sigma F_{x}=0

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

-f+F_{x}=0

we know that:

F_{x}=Fcos \theta

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing \mu_{k} so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0

we add \mu_{k}mg to both sides so we get:

-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg

Nos we factor F so we get:

F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg

and now we divide both sides of the equation into (cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta) so we get:

F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}

which is the answer to part b.

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts
Nata [24]

(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.

(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².

(c) Acceleration of the child-wagon system is zero when the frictional force is 21 N.

<h3>Net force on the third child</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑F = ma

where;

  • ∑F is net force
  • m is mass of the third child
  • a is acceleration of the third child

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N

Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;

  • the wagon
  • the children outside the wagon

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

         1st child      friction       wagon                2nd child

<h3>Acceleration of the  child and wagon system</h3>

a = ∑F/m

a = 9 N / 27 kg

a = 0.33 m/s²

<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N

a = ∑F/m

a = 0/27 kg

a = 0 m/s²

A branch falls from a tree how fast is the branch moving after drug .28 seconds
alexdok [17]
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed?(a) 16(b
maw [93]

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.
