Answer:
Fg = 98.1 [N]; N = 98.1 [N]; Ff = 39.24 [N]; a = 2.076[m/^2]
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and interpret each of the forces acting on the box. In the attached diagram we can find the free body diagram.
The gravitational force is equal to:
Fg = (10 * 9.81) = 98.1 [N]
Now by summing forces on the Y axis equal to zero, we can find the normal force exerted by the surface.
N - Fg = 0
N = Fg
N = 98.1 [N]
The friction force is defined as the product of normal force by the coefficient of friction.
Ff = N * μ
Ff = 98.1 * 0.4
Ff = 39.24 [N]
By the sum forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the value of acceleration.
60 - Ff = m * a
60 - 39.24 = 10 * a
a = 2.076[m/^2]
Answer:
a = 120 m/s²
Explanation:
We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:
∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)
Known data
Where:
∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction
F: Force in Newtons (N)
m: mass (kg)
a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)
F = 1200N
m = 10 kg
Problem development
We replace the known data in formula (1)
1200 = 10*a
a = 1200/10
a = 120 m/s²
Hey there!
No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.
Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.
Hope this helps!
