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.

Sayid made a chart listing data of two colliding objects. A 5-column table titled Collision: Two Objects Stick Together with 2 r
Alborosie

Answer:

6 m/s is the missing final velocity

Explanation:

From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).

Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.

Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.

We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.

In numbers, and calling P_{xi} the initial momentum of object X and P_{yi} the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: P_{total}_i=P_{xi}+P_{yi}= 300*10 \frac{kg*m}{s} -100*6\frac{kg*m}{s} =\\=(3000-600 )\frac{kg*m}{s} =2400 \frac{kg*m}{s}

Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):

Final momentum of the system: M * v_f=400kg * v_f

We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):

2400 \frac{kg*m}{s} =400kg*v_f\\\frac{2400}{400} \frac{m}{s} =v_f\\v_f=6 \frac{m}{s}
