- An empty pail and a 34 kg wooden mass are tied together by a very light string which passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. There is a force of friction between the mass and the table and there is a coefficient of static friction of 0.76 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.46. Water is added to the bucket one drop at a time until the system just begins to move. When the system just begins to move, what will the acceleration be? (Answer to 1 decimal place, use g = 9.8m/s2)arrow_forwardA 1250 kg boat is traveling at 90 km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force fk between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat. Thus, fk = 80v, where v is in meters per second and fk (the magnitude of the frictional force) is in newtons. Find the time required for the boat to slow down to 45 km/h.arrow_forwardBob borrows a lunch tray of negligible mass to push Will on the tray across a level portion of the field. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tray and the grass is 0.25 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.30. Will is pushed 40m across the field by Bob at a constant speed, but Bob is so tall that he pushes with a force of 40 degrees below the horizontal. Will gained some weight during quarantine, so he now weighs 120kg. a) What power does Bob need to move Will across the field in 20sec? b) What could Bob do to decrease the work he needs to push Will across the field without decreasing his force?arrow_forward
