A 11 N horizontal force pushes a block weighing 5.4 N against a vertical wall (see the figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.56, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.34. Assume that the block is not moving initially. (a) Will the block move? ("yes" or "no") (b) In unit-vector notation Fi + Fy, what is the force on the block from the wall? y (a) (b) Number i Ĵ Units

As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2. magnitude direction F₂ F₁ i units ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore it in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls along the leash with force F = (86.4 N)i + (139.6 N)j + (34.8 N)k. (Here the unit vector k is directed vertically upward.) What is the magnitude of the pulling force in N? What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
In the automobile industry, the dimensionless drag coefficient and the area of the vehicle are often combined into one variable - the drag area whereby the drag area is the product of the dimensionless drag coefficient and the area (Drag Area = C*A). A Tesla has a drag area of 0.46 m², whereas an SUV has a drag area of 2.45 m². Assuming the desity of air is equal to 1.21 kg/m^3, determine the amount of energy consumed in overcoming drag for: (a) A Tesla cruising at 120km/hr for 20km. select units (b) An SUV cruising at 120km/hr for 20km. select units (c) A Tesla cruising at 90km/hr for 20km. select units (d) An SUV cruising at 90km/hr for 20km. select units Tolerance = 5%, units mark = 15% Homework is 21 day(s) old, there is no score reduction.

Two horizontal forces F= 70NÎ + 20NĴ and F= -30NÎ + 40Nj, are pulled a 12 body that is stuck in a field. The forces pull the body producing the vector forces shown in the figure. Find the direction and magnitude of the horizontal component of a third force on the body that will make the vector sum of forces on the body equal to zero.
A force ofF1= 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60° above the x-axis. A second force of F2 = 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60.0° below the x-axis.= 50.0 N is directed at an angle of 60.0° below the x-axis. What is the vector sum of these two forces?

Do Chapter 12, Problem 6, with these numbers which I've decided to express in pounds and feet, English units. Sam and Joe carry a beam, walking to the right. Calculate the force that Sam exerts, in pounds. The beam's weight is 109 lb. The beam's length is 21 ft. Sam is 1 ft from the back. Joe is 2 ft from the front.
For Problems 1 and 2, use the following formula to describe the magnitude of a drag force: 1 D = — -CA pv² 2 FD Problem 1: When a car is traveling at a speed of 30 km/h, it experiences a drag force of magnitude F. If the car increases its speed to 40 km/h, what then will be the drag force it experiences? Assume the drag force is proportional to the square of speed.
A 1,380-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force of 390 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal. Two figures show a side view of a crate positioned upon a horizontal surface. Figure (a): An arrow pointing downward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° below the horizontal as it approaches the upper left edge of the crate. Figure (b): An arrow pointing upward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° above the horizontal as it extends from the upper right edge of the crate. (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (b) If the 390-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
