A stationary 12.5 kg object is located on a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the

surfaces is 0.50 and of kinetic friction is 0.30. Show all work including units.
A horizontal force of 15 N is applied to the object.


a. Draw a free body diagram with the forces to scale.

b. Determine the force of friction.

c. Determine the acceleration of the object.

When the object is at rest, there is a zero net force due the cancellation of the object's weight <em>w</em> with the normal force <em>n</em> of the table pushing up on the object, so that by Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 112.5 N ≈ 113 N

where <em>m</em> = 12.5 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The minimum force <em>F</em> needed to overcome <u>maximum</u> static friction <em>f</em> and get the object moving is

<em>F</em> > <em>f</em> = 0.50 <em>n</em> = 61.25 N ≈ 61.3 N

which means a push of <em>F</em> = 15 N is not enough the get object moving and so it stays at rest in equilibrium. While the push is being done, the net force on the object is still zero, but now the horizontal push and static friction cancel each other.

So:

(a) Your free body diagram should show the object with 4 forces acting on it as described above. You have to draw it to scale, so whatever length you use for the normal force and weight vectors, the length of the push and static friction vectors should be about 61.3/112.5 ≈ 0.545 ≈ 54.5% as long.

(b) Friction has a magnitude of 15 N because it balances the pushing force.

(c) The object is in equilibrium and not moving, so the acceleration is zero.

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply. kg • m kg • N • s N • m
Vlada [557]

We know that impulse is simply the product of Force and time:

Impulse = Force * time

 

Since Force has a unit of Newton or kg m/s^2 and time is in seconds, therefore impulse can have units as:

N s

or

Which is an example of an unstructured activity that promotes resistance training?
aleksandrvk [35]
One possible unstructured activity that promotes resistance training would be climbing playground equimpent - A. 

This is by nature a unstructured ctivity. Furthermore, it promotes resistance training because you're forced to move and pull and push yourself.
