You have devised an experiment to measure the kinetic coefficient of friction between a ramp and a mass. You place the mass on the ramp at an angle high enough that the mass starts sliding. You measure the time it takes to fall down a known distance. The time it takes to fall down the 45 degree ramp starting from a standstill is At = 0.46 sec, m=1 kg, and the distance it falls, Ax , is 0.5 m. What is µk? m Дх in At Uk
A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor. However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line? Imagine that instead the floor is more slick, so that the crate feels a friction force half of what you calculated above. What is the crate’s acceleration?
Consider a wooden ramp angled 31.7 degrees above horizontal. If a 20.3-kg wooden block is given a strong shove up the ramp so that it has an initial velocity of 22.9 m/s, how long (in seconds) will it take the block to reach its maximum height (before it starts sliding down)? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is 0.402.
A ball with mass 0.85 kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 30 m/s from the roof of a building 40 m high. Assume there is a force due to v² directed opposite to the velocity, air resistance of magnitude 1325 where the velocity v is measured in m/s. NOTE: Use g=9.8 m/s² as the acceleration due to gravity. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches. Height: m b) Find the time that the ball hits the ground. Time: seconds c) Use a graphing utility to plot the graphs of velocity and position versus time.
A robot pushes a 20-kg box on the horizontal surface as part of the moving job. The force is 35 N to the left shown, and the box does not move. The coefficients of friction between the floor and box are µs = 0.75 and uk = 0.40. What is the minimum pushing force (magnitude only) needed to move the box, in Newtons? Useg = 10 m/s². Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
