A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su

rfaces is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25.
A horizontal force of 40 N is applied to the object.
Determine the acceleration of the object.

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_k = 0.724$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the lane is $l = 36.0 \ m$

The speed of the truck is $v = 22.6\ m/s$

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that

$\Delta KE = N * \mu_k * l$

Here N is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE$ is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} * m * v^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 0.5 * m * 22.6^2$

=> $\Delta KE = 255.38m$

$255.38m = m * 9.8 * \mu_k * 36.0$

=> $255.38 = 352.8 * \mu_k$

=> $\mu_k = 0.724$

A body weights 50 N in air and 45 N when wholly immersed in water calculate (i) the loss in weight of the body in water (ii) the

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$difference \: in \: weight = 150n - 100n = 50n$

Now,buyantant force

$difference \: in \: weight \: = volume(body) \times density \: of \: water \: \times g$

so;

$50 = {v}^{b} \times 1 \times {10}^{3} \times 9.8m {s}^{2}$

${v}^{b} = \frac{50}{1000 } \times 9.8$

$= \frac{50}{9800}$

$= 0.0051$

Now,

$mass \: in \: air \: = 150n = \frac{150}{9.8kg}$

$density = \frac{weght}{volume}$

$= \frac{150}{0.0051} \times 9.8 \\ x = 3000$

And now,

$specific \: density \: = \frac{density of \: the \: body}{density \: of \: water}$

$= \frac{3000}{1000}$

$= 3$

Hence that,specific density of a given body is 3
