Question
In tests on earth a lunar surface exploration vehicle (mass = 5.90 103 kg) achieves a forward acceleration of 0.215m/s2. To achieve this same acceleration on the moon, the vehicle's engines must produce a drive force of 1.64 103 N.
What is the magnitude of the frictional force that acts on the vehicle on the moon?

- A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). Narrow_forwardA 3 kg particle moves along an x axis, being propelled by a variable force directed along that axis. Its position is given by x = 2 m + (2 m/s)t + ct2 - (3 m/s³)t³ with x in meters and t in seconds.The factor c is a constant. At t = 4 s the force on the particle has a magnitude of 33N and is in the negative direction of the axis. What is c?

- Answer the question correctly. Thank you!arrow_forwardA string is tied to a 3.2 kg object on a table and a 1.5 kg object hanging over a pulley.The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 3.2 kg object and the table is0.30.(a) Draw FBD for each object. D/(b) Calculate the acceleration of each object.(c) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string.(d) How far will the objects move in 1.2 s if the initial velocity of the 3.2 kg object is1.3 m/s [right]?arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forward
