Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Explanation:
Given that;
Mass M1 = 7.0 kg
r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m
Mass M2 = 21 kg
we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²
work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r
so we substitute
W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5
W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5
W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J
Answer:
positions of motion is the answer as moving is a motion
Answer:
The sum of all forces for the two objects with force of friction F and tension T are:
(i) m₁a₁ = F
(ii) m₂a₂ = T - F
1) no sliding infers: a₁ = a₂= a
The two equations become:
m₂a = T - m₁a
Solving for a:
a = T / (m₁+m₂) = 2.1 m/s²
2) Using equation(i):
F = m₁a = 51.1 N
3) The maximum friction is given by:
F = μsm₁g
Using equation(i) to find a₁ = a₂ = a:
a₁ = μs*g
Using equation(ii)
T = m₁μsg + m₂μsg = (m₁ + m₂)μsg = 851.6 N
4) The kinetic friction is given by: F = μkm₁g
Using equation (i) and the kinetic friction:
a₁ = μkg = 6.1 m/s²
5) Using equation(ii) and the kinetic friction:
m₂a₂ = T - μkm₁g
a₂ = (T - μkm₁g)/m₂ = 12.1 m/s²
Answer:
400 N
Explanation:
By the law of friction,
is the maximum frictional force, 
is the coefficient of friction and 
is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.
While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, 
This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.
Hence the frictional force is 400 N.
PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.
Answer: The bottom of the ladder is moving at 3.464ft/sec
Explanation:
The question defines a right angle triangle. Therefore using pythagorean
h^2 + l^2 = 10^2 = 100 ...eq1
dh/dt = -2ft/sec
dl/ dt = ?
Taking derivatives of time in eq 1 on both sides
2hdh/dt + 2ldl/dt = 0 ....eq2
Putting l = 5ft in eq2
h^ + 5^2 = 100
h^2 = 25 = 100
h Sqrt(75)
h = 8.66 ft
Put h = 8.66ft in eq2
2 × 8.66 × (-2) + 2 ×5 dl/dt
dl/dt = 17.32 / 5
dl/dt = 3.464ft/sec
