Their "airspeeds" (speed through the air) are equal, but the one traveling in the
same direction as the jet-stream appears to move along the ground faster.

A rocket moves away from the surface of earth. As the distance r from the center of the earth the planet increases, what happens

Blizzard [7]

The force of gravity will decrease.
More the distance between the objects, less the force of gravity between them.
They are inversely related.
Hope this help :)

a man drags a 8.10 kg bag of mulch at a constant speed, applying a 29.5 N at 38°. what is the coefficient of friction?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction is 0.38.

Explanation:

The free body diagram is drawn below.

Let $f$ be frictional force acting in the backward direction as shown. Let the coefficient of friction be $\mu$ . Let $N$ be the normal reaction force acting on the bag.

Given:

Mass of the bag is, $m=8.10\textrm{ kg}$

Force acting at $\theta = 38$ ° is $F= 29.5\textrm{ N}$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}$

The force F can be resolved into its components as $F_{x}=F \cos \theta$ and $F_{y}=F \sin \theta$

Therefore,

$F_{x}=29.5\cos(38)=23.25\textrm{ N}\\F_{y}=29.5\sin(38)=18.16\textrm{ N}$

Now, as there is no acceleration in vertical direction, therefore,

Sum of upward forces = Sum of downward forces

$N+F_{y}=mg\\N=mg-F_{y}=8.10\times 9.8-18.16\\N=79.38-18.16=61.22\textrm{ N}$

Now, as the bag is moving at a constant speed, so acceleration in the horizontal direction is also zero as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Therefore, backward force = forward force.

$f=F_{x}\\f=23.25\textrm{ N}$

Now, frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N\\\mu = \frac{f}{N}=\frac{23.25}{61.22}=0.38$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.38.
