You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.10 kg, up an incline of constant slope angle 30.0° so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 2.90 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10-2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s². Part A Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the Express your answer numerically, in meters per second. ► View Available Hint(s) V= ΕΠΙΑΣΦΑ A20 ^ ? m/s

Hi I needed help with this. An athlete with a mass of 53.5 kg is doing pushups as shown in the figure below. The value for rW⊥ is 1.00 m and the value for rR⊥ is 1.60 m. (a) Assuming she moves upward at a constant speed, determine the force she must exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up.(b) The triceps muscle in the back of her upper arm with an effective lever arm of rT⊥ = 1.70 cm, as shown in the figure below, and she exerts force on the floor a horizontal distance of r 'R⊥ = 2.05 cm from the elbow joint. Determine the force in the triceps muscle.In order to appreciate the strength of the triceps, determine the ratio of the force in the tricep muscle to her weight (in decimal form). FT/W = ?

A block of mass mA=20kg on an inclined plane and a bucket of mass mbucket=16kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing through a massless pulley as shown in the figure below. The inclined plane makes an angle of θ=46o with the horizontal and the coefficients of kinetic and static friction are μk=0.21 and μs=0.58. The system is initially at rest and a student starts to fill the bucket with balls, each of whose mass is 100 grams, one at a time until the system starts to move. Determine the number of balls the student placed in the bucket. Take g=9.80m/s2 and please note that the number balls must be an integer!
