A box of books weighing 319 N is shoved across the floor by a force of 485 N exerted downward at an angle of 35 degres below the

horizontal.a) If the coeficent of friction between the box and the floor is 0.57, how long does it take to move the box 4 meters, starting from rest?b) If If the coeficent of friction between the box and the floor is 0.75, how long does it take to move the box 4 meters, starting from rest?

Let <em>w</em>, <em>n</em>, <em>p</em>, and <em>f</em> denote the magnitudes of the 4 forces acting on the box.

• <em>w</em> = <u>w</u>eight = 319 N

• <em>n</em> = <u>n</u>ormal force

• <em>p</em> = <u>p</u>ushing force = 485 N

• <em>f</em> = <u>f</u>riction = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>, where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box points in the direction that the box moves, which is to the right. In particular, this means the box is vertically in equilibrium. Split up the vectors into their vertical and horizontal components, and apply Newton's second law. (I take up and right to be the positive vertical and horizontal directions, respectively.)

• vertical:

<em>p</em> sin(-35°) + <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

and solving for <em>n</em>,

- (485 N) sin(35°) + <em>n</em> - 319 N = 0

<em>n</em> ≈ 597 N

• horizontal:

<em>p</em> cos(-35°) - <em>f</em> = <em>m</em> <em>a</em>

where <em>a</em> is the magnitude of the net acceleration on the box. Solve for <em>a</em>. Since <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> and <em>m</em> = <em>w</em> / <em>g</em> (where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the mag. of the acc. due to gravity) we get

<em>p</em> cos(35°) - <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = (<em>w</em> / <em>g</em>) <em>a</em>

(485 N) cos(35°) - <em>µ</em> (597 N) = (319 N) / (9.80 m/s²) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (12.2 - 18.3 <em>µ</em>) m/s²

(a) If <em>µ</em> = 0.57, then the net acceleration on the box is

<em>a</em> ≈ (12.2 - 18.3 • 0.57) m/s² ≈ 1.75 m/s²

so that the time <em>t</em> required to move the box 4 m is

4 m = 1/2 <em>a</em> <em>t </em>²

<em>t</em> ≈ √((8 m) / (1.75 m/s²))

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.14 s

(b) The box does not move.

If <em>µ</em> = 0.75, then

<em>a</em> = (12.2 - 18.3 • 0.75) m/s² ≈ -1.55 m/s²

but a negative acc. here means the applied acc. points *opposite* the direction of movement, thus making the box move backward which doesn't make sense. The coefficient of friction is too large for the given applied force to get the box moving. With <em>µ</em> = 0.75, the frictional force to overcome has mag. <em>f</em> ≈ 448 N. But the given push contributes a horizontal force of (485 N) cos(-35°) ≈ 397 N. This mag. needs to be increased in order to get the box moving.

A 90 kg person stands at the edge of a stationary children's merry-go-round at a distance of 5.0 m from its center. The person s
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The rotation rate of the man is:

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.80\,\frac{m}{s} }{5\,m}

\omega = 0.16\,\frac{rad}{s}

The resultant rotation rate of the system is computed from the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}\cdot (0.16\,\frac{rad}{s} ) = [(90\,kg)\cdot (5\,m)^{2}+20000\,kg\cdot m^{2}]\cdot \omega

The final angular speed is:

\omega = 0.016\,\frac{rad}{s}

Power selection feature for resistors to become water modules 10 liters of water at 25°C to đến
Mila [183]

Answer:

P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW

Explanation:

First, we will find the mass of the water:

Mass = (Density)(Volume)

Mass = m = (1 kg/L)(10 L)

m = 10 kg

Now, we will find the energy required to heat the water between given temperature limits:

E = mCΔT

where,

E = energy = ?

C = specific heat capacity of water = 4182 J/kg.°C

ΔT = change in temperature = 95°C - 25°C = 70°C

Therefore,

E = (10 kg)(4182 J/kg.°C)(70°C)

E = 2.927 x 10⁶ J

Now, the power required will be:

Power = P = \frac{E}{t}

where,

t = time = (20 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1200 s

Therefore,

P = \frac{2.927\ x\ 10^6\ J}{1200\ s}

<u>P = 2439.5 W = 2.439 KW</u>

Find the mass of an object if a 40 N of force causes the object to accelerate at 5.5 m/s/s
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{40}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>8 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
