Question
A child pulls on a wagon of mass 47 kg at an angle 33 degrees above the
horizontal with a force of F. If the wagon accelerates at 3.7 m/s2
horizontally, what is the magnitude of the force F (in unit of N)? Assume there is coefficient of friction is 0.33, and please use g = 10 m/s2 to simplify computation.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the masses and the incline is the same for both masses. Assume the pulley is frictionless, and the cord is massless.

Suppose you add more masses to the hanging weight, therefore increasing the tension and hence the acceleration for this system to double (2 x) its original value. How many times of the old value of the coefficient of kinetic friction will the new value be?arrow_forward

Suppose the only forces affecting its motion are gravity, and air resistance proportional to the object's speed with positive constant of proportionality k. Let g denote gravitational acceleration (a positive constant). Express the total force in terms of m, g, and the object's velocity v, where upward displacement is considered positive. F = mg - kv Newton's second law tells us that force is equal to mass x acceleration, F = ma. Relating acceleration to velocity, rewrite the equation for total force above as a first order differential equation for v as a function of t. Denote v' as dv dt v(t) m(- dr) this is not an equation.
