Answer:
Explanation:
mass of the bicycle + cyclist = 50 kg
constant speed = 6 km/h
a cyclist coasting down a 5.0° incline
the downward velocity is constant, so net acceleration must be zero
the air drag must be equal to gravitational force downward along the ramp
now for upward motion
Answer:
-4.0 N
Explanation:
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):
(1)
We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be
And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:
where
v = 0 is the final velocity
u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity
t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop
Substituting, we find
(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)
Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:
Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.
