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.

A space rocket accelerates uniformly from rest to 160ms^-1 upwards in 4.0s, then travels with a constant speed of 160ms^-1 for t
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

40 ms¯².

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we shall illustrate the question with a diagram.

The attached photo gives a better understanding of the question.

From the attached photo:

Velocity (v) = 160 ms¯¹

Time (t) = 4 secs.

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /time (t)

a = v/t

a = 160/4

a = 40 ms¯²

Therefore, the initial acceleration of the rocket is 40 ms¯².

shusha [124]

Answer:

Part a) When collision is perfectly inelastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b) When collision is perfectly elastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that collision is perfectly inelastic

so here we will have

mv_m = (m + M)v

so we have

v = \frac{mv_m}{m + M}

now we know that in order to complete the circle we will have

v = \sqrt{5Rg}

\frac{mv_m}{m + M} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b)

Now we know that collision is perfectly elastic

so we will have

v = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

now we have

\sqrt{5Rg} = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}
