Question
A chair of weight 120 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of FFF = 42.0 N directed at an angle of 35.0 ∘ below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor.
Using Newton's laws, calculate n, the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair.

F(x) is the only horizontal force on the box.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_forward

The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P.
