Answer:

F = 73.7 N = 74 N (rounding off)

Explanation:

In order to get the box to start moving, Mr. Ames must push it with a force equal to the frictional force acting on it. Therefore, this force can be calculated through the following formula:

$F = frictional force = \mu R$

where,

μ = coefficient of friction = 0.55

R = Normal Force on Box = Weight of Box with books = 134 N

Therefore,

$F = (0.55)(134\ N)\\$

<u>F = 73.7 N = 74 N (rounding off)</u>

When Woods hits a 0.04593 kg golf ball, the golf ball is usually traveling around 281 kilometers per hour. What average force do

Semenov [28]

Answer:

128.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on the golf ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the ball, so we can write:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t=0.030 s$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be written as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m = 0.04593 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the ball

$v=281 km/h =78.1 m/s$ is the final velocity of the ball

Substituting into the original equation, we find the force exerted on the golf ball:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.04593)(78.1-0)}{0.030}=128.9 N$

Question 2.

choli [55]

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

$1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}$

So,

$5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}$

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

A steel beam that is 5.50 m long weighs 332 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m

Weight of the beam, ( $W_{b}$ ) = 332 N

Weight of the Suki, ( $W_{s}$ ) = 505 N

After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

$\sum M_{o} = 0$

$-W_{s} \times x + W_{b} \times 1.5$ = 0

x = $\frac{W_{b} \times 1.5}{W_{s}}$

= $\frac{332 N \times 1.5}{505 N}$

= 0.986 m

Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.

Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
