You need to know the coefficient of static friction between a wooden object and a wooden surface. I'll denote it with <em>µ</em>. If you're given a specific value you should obviously use that.

By Newton's second law, the horizontal and vertical net forces are

• net horizontal:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>p</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

• net vertical:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where

<em>p</em> = magnitude of the <u>p</u>ushing force

<em>f</em> = mag. of <u>f</u>riction

<em>n</em> = mag. of the <u>n</u>ormal force

<em>w</em> = <u>w</u>eight of the crate

The second equation gives

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N

Friction is proportional to the normal force by a factor of <em>µ</em>, so

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> (49 N) = 49<em>µ</em> N

To overcome static friction, the push has to exceed this in magnitude, so that

<em>p</em> > 49<em>µ</em> N

For instance, if <em>p</em> = 0.25, then <em>p</em> would need to greater than 12.25 N. (This example isn't particularly helpful, though, since both possibly correct options are larger than 12.25 N...)

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

41.3 m/s^2 option (e)

Explanation:

force, F = 6.81 N

mass, m = 165 g = 0.165 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the puck.

Use newtons' second law

Force = mass x acceleration

6.81 = 0.165 x a

a = 41.27 m/s^2

a = 41.3 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the puck is 41.3 m/s^2.

3. An object of mass 90 kg travels down a slide.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

3) Ep = 13243.5[J]

4) v = 17.15 [m/s]

Explanation:

3) In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of energy conservation. That is, the energy will be transformed from potential energy to kinetic energy. We can calculate the potential energy with the mass and height data, as shown below.

m = mass = 90 [kg]

h = elevation = 15 [m]

Potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\E_{p}=90*9.81*15\\E_{p}=13243.5[J]

This energy will be transformed into kinetic energy.

Ek = 13243.5 [J]

4) The velocity can be determined by defining the kinetic energy, as shown below.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*E_{k} }{m} }\\ v= \sqrt{\frac{2*13243.5 }{90} }\\v=17.15[m/s]

VladimirAG [237]

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data,

E= 3 ×10 ⁶ Δx=0.06/100

We have to find the minimum potential difference

E= -ΔV/Δx

ΔV=- E × Δx

ΔV =-3 ×10 ⁶ . 0.06/100

ΔV=-1800 V

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V
