Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?

Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.

Two blocks of masses m and M are connected by a string and pass over a frictionless pulley. Mass m hangs vertically, and mass M

horsena [70]

Answer:

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}$

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1$

Explanation:

Force of friction on M mass so that it will move down the inclined plane is given as

$F_f = \mu Mgcos\theta$

now if it is moving down the inclined plane at constant speed

so we will have

$Mgsin\theta - T - \mu mgcos\theta = 0$

on other side the mass "m" will go up at constant speed

so we have

$T - mg = 0$

so we have

$Mgsin\theta = \mu Mgcos\theta + mg$

so we have

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = \frac{m}{M}$

for special case when m = M

then we have

$sin\theta - \mu_k cos\theta = 1$

A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

Marrrta [24]

Our values can be defined like this,

$m = 65kg$

$v = 3.5m / s$

$d = 0.55m$

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

$W = \Delta KE$

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

$\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2$

So,

$Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2$

Clearing F,

$F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}$

Replacing the values

$F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}$

$F = 723.9N$

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.

A box is sitting on a 2 m long board at one end. A worker picks up the board at the end with the box so it makes an angle with t

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the box is on the ramp , component of its weight along the ramp

= mg sinθ

Friction force acting on it in upward direction

=μ mg cosθ

For sliding

μ mg cosθ < mg sinθ

μ cosθ < sinθ

.5 x cos35 < sin35

.41 < .57

So the box will slide

When sliding starts , kinetic friction acts

Net force in downward direction

mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

acceleration

= gsinθ - μ g cosθ

= 5.62 - .3 x 9.8 x cos35

= 5.62 - 2.4

= 3.22 m /s²
