Question

11. A box with a mass of 1.0 kg is resting on a horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.20. It is accelerated by attaching a 1.5 kg mass, as shown in the diagram. Assume that the pulley is frictionless and that the cord has negligible mass.
a. What is the acceleration of the box? What is the tension?

Answer 1

Answer:

A force is applied acting to the right. Assume that friction is negligible. Ikg 0.5N. For each question, one or more features of the system.

Explanation:hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that the force pulling the box in the positive x direction has a magnitude of m g sin 30 . Using Newtons Second Law, F = ma , we just need to solve for a :

ma=mgsin30

a=gsin30

=(10m/s2)(0.500)

=5m/s2
