N
(b)
If you continue to exert this force (in m/s2) once the crate starts to slip, what will the magnitude of its acceleration then be?
m/s2

There is a string attached to the brick that passes over a pulley and connects to a Mass 2 = 1.15 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the brick and the plane is 0.25.What is the acceleration of the brick?What is the tension in the string?arrow_forwardA sled and rider have a total mass of 61.0 kg. They are on a snowy hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.155. The angle of the hill's slope measured upward from the horizontal is 21.0°. What is the acceleration of the rider? |m/s² Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the rider. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Less than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Equal to: the acceleration is independent of mass. O Equal to: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the sled.arrow_forward
