Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.

⦁ A 68 kg crate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15° above the horizontal. (a)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

303.29N and 1.44m/s^2

Explanation:

Make sure to label each vector with none, mg, fk, a, FN or T

Given

Mass m = 68.0 kg

Angle θ = 15.0°

g = 9.8m/s^2

Coefficient of static friction μs = 0.50

Coefficient of kinetic friction μk =0.35

Solution

Vertically

N = mg - Fsinθ

Horizontally

Fs = F cos θ

μsN = Fcos θ

μs( mg- Fsinθ) = Fcos θ

μsmg - μsFsinθ = Fcos θ

μsmg = Fcos θ + μsFsinθ

F = μsmg/ cos θ + μs sinθ

F = 0.5×68×9.8/cos 15×0.5×sin15

F = 332.2/0.9659+0.5×0.2588

F =332.2/1.0953

F = 303.29N

Fnet = F - Fk

ma = F - μkN

a = F - μk( mg - Fsinθ)

a = 303.29 - 0.35(68.0 * 9.8- 303.29*sin15)/68.0

303.29-0.35( 666.4 - 303.29*0.2588)/68.0

303.29-0.35(666.4-78.491)/68.0

303.29-0.35(587.90)/68.0

(303.29-205.45)/68.0

97.83/68.0

a = 1.438m/s^2

a = 1.44m/s^2
