A man is pushing a box of mass m along the ground with a force F. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the gr

ound is μk​. The box is accelerating, but then the person stops pushing and the box slides to a halt. The person then starts pushing on the box again with a force F, but the box doesn't budge. The maximum coefficient of static friction between the box and the ground is μs​. Identify which of the following statements is true?
a. F > μk/μs
b. μk > μs
c. μkmg < F <= μsmg
d. μsmg= F

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

When the box is moving, he pushes with a force F.

in this case, the coefficient is μk, and the box is accelerating, this means that the net force is not zero, so F is larger than the friction force.

When the box is still, the man pushes again with a force F, but now the box does not move, so there is no acceleration, which means that the net force is zero, then F is not greater than the maximum static friction force.

Now, the friction force between an object of mass M, and a surface with a coefficient of friction  μ is:  μ*m*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration.

Then, from the first part, we can conclude that:

μk*m*g < F

(the force F is larger than the kinetic friction force)

and from the second part, we know that:

F ≤  μs*m*g

(The force F is not greater than the static friction force)

If we write those two together, we have:

μk*m*g < F ≤  μs*m*g

Then the correct option is c.

Answer:

here try this! i hope this helps

Explanation:

There are many advantages when we compare strength training with other forms of training. For example, the biggest benefit would be the increase of muscle mass due to us using the muscle more and for harder movements than usual. Strength training can preserve the mass that we lose with age. Bones also get stronger when we train so they are harder to fracture. We get more joint flexibility from the movements we do. So things as arthritis can be avoided or at least feel better.

The launch speed of a projectile is three times the speed it has at its maximum height.what is the elevation angle at launch?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Given: a projectile of initial launch velocity(V) and launch angle ∅ and no air resistance. At the maximum height, the projectile would have a zero contribution of speed from the vertical component(Vy) Therefore, if we say Vx=Vcos∅ is the only speed the projectile has at the instant of maximum height then we can replace Vx with 1/5V and write 1/5V=Vcos∅. Solving for the the launch angle ∅, gives Inverse Cos(1/5)=78.5 degrees.

A jogger runs 4.0 km [W] in 0.50 h, then turns and runs 1.0 km [E] in 0.20 h, then 1.5 km [N] in 0.25 h, then 3.0 km [E] in 0.75
GrogVix [38]
This is a sneaky trick question, to help you discover whether you know
one of the differences between velocity and speed.
=======================================
If you make a list of the distances and directions, and ignore the times,
you find these:

4 - west,  (3 + 1) - east . . . . .  zero in the east/west direction

1.5 - north,  1.5 - south . . . . . zero in the north/south direction

This jogger went out, had a nice jog around the neighborhood,and ended up exactly where he started.

Average velocity = (distance between start point and end point) / (time)

IF the question asked for average SPEED, then you would need the total distance, and divide it by the total time.  But it asks for VELOCITY, and <u>that</u> only involves the straight distance between the start point and the end point, regardless of the route taken in between.

The jogger ended up exactly where he started.  The distance between start and end points was zero.  Average velocity is  (zero) / (time) .  And that fraction is going to be <em><u>Zero</u></em>, no matter how long or how short the trip was, and no matter how much time it took.
