The weight of the box is 50x9.8 = 490 N. The force of friction is 100N. F= μΝ so coefficient = 100/490 = 0.20

You push a 85 kg shopping cart from rest with a net force of 250 n for 5 seconds,at which point it flies off a cliff that is 100
Vikki [24]

m = mass of the cart = 85 kg

F = net force on the cart = 250 N

a = acceleration of the cart

acceleration of the cart is given as

a = F/m

a = 250/85

a = 2.94 m/s²

t = time for which the force is applied = 5 sec

v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the cart just before  it flies off the cliff = ?

using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

v = 0 + (2.94) (5)

v = 14.7 m/s

consider the motion of cart after it flies off the cliff in vertical direction :

v' = initial velocity in vertical direction = 0 m/s

a' = acceleration in vertical direction = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t' = time taken for the cart to land = ?

Y' = vertical displacement of the cart = height of cliff = 100 m

using the kinematics equation

Y' = v' t' + (0.5) a' t'²

100 = (0) t' + (0.5) (9.8) t'²

t' = 4.52 sec


consider the motion of cart along the horizontal direction after it flies off the cliff

X = distance traveled from the base of cliff = ?

t' = time of travel = 4.52 sec

v = velocity along the horizontal direction = 14.7 m/s

distance traveled from the base of cliff is given as

X = v t'

X = 14.7 x 4.52

X  = 66.4 m
