Given :

A 50 kg boy stands on rough horizontal ground. The coefficient  of static friction, us, is 0.68.

To Find :

The maximum static friction  between the boy and the ground is _ N.

Solution :

We know maximum static friction is given by :

F = \mu mg \\\\F= 0.68\times 50\times 9.8\\\\F = 333.2\ N

Therefore, maximum static friction is 333.2 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider.  There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A 1 kg object sits on the earth’s surface. What is the force of gravity between the object and the earth? (mass of the earth = 5
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.81N

Explanation:

the force of attraction is given by

F=<u>GmM</u><u>/</u><u>R²</u><u> </u>

where m is mass of the body

M is mass of the earth

R is radius of the earth

G is the universal gravitational constant(6.67x10-¹¹)

hence we substitute the values in the formula.
