Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?
<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t) plus (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>
I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.
initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds
Distance down = (20) x (3) plus (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²
Distance = (60) plus (4.905) x (9)
Distance = (60) plus (44.145) = 104.145 meters
Choice <em>D)</em> is the closest one.
F = 2820.1 N
Explanation:
Let the (+)x-axis be up along the slope. The component of the weight of the crate along the slope is -mgsin15° (pointing down the slope). The force that keeps the crate from sliding is F. Therefore, we can write Newton's 2nd law along the x-axis as
Fnet = ma = 0 (a = 0 no sliding)
= F - mgsin15°
= 0
or
F = mgsin15°
= (120 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)sin15°
= 2820.1 N
