Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. The coefficient of kinet

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m

outward from a wall just above floor level. A 1.5 kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and comp

sweet [91]

Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{85\times (0.065)^2}{1.5}} \\\\v=0.489\ m/s$

So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.

Acceleration = (change in speed)/(time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)

Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (20 m/s) = -10 m/s

Time for the change = 5.00 seconds

Acceleration = (-10 m/s) / (5 sec)

<em>Acceleration = -2 m/s²</em>

That's choice-A .

A uniform steel girder of weight 22KN and of length 12m is lifted off the ground at one end by means of a crane. When the raised

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

For free body diagram see attached sheet .

W is weight of steel girder acting at the middle point of its length . T is tension in the cable .

OB = √ ( 12² - 2² )

= 11.83 m .

OC = 11.83 / 2 = 5.915 m

Taking moment of tension T and weight W about point O

W x OC = T x OB

22 x 5.915 = T x 11.83

T = 22 x 5.915 / 11.83

= 11 kN

Considering forces acting in vertical direction and equating forces in opposite direction

T + R = W

R = W - T

= 22 - 11 = 11 KN

So force of grinder on the ground = R

= 11 KN.
