2. Mass m₁ slides without friction on a plane inclined at 40° above horizontal plane. It is attached to a second mass m₂ by a light string. If m₁ = 5kg, m₂ = 4kg, determine the acceleration of each block and the tension of the string.
15)A flatbed truck is carrying a 25.0-kg crate along a level road. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed is 0.352. What is the maximum acceleration that the truck can have if the crate is to stay in place?
a. An object that is free-falling is acted upon by the force of gravity alone. b. A falling skydiver which has reached terminal velocity is considered to be in a state offree fall. c. A ball is thrown upwards and is rising towards its peak. As it rises upwards, it is NOT considered to be in a state offree fall d. An object in free fall experiences an acceleration which is independent of the mass of the object. e. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. As the ball rises, its acceleration is upwards; as it falls, its acceleration is downwards. f. A ball is thrown upwards, rises to its peak and eventually falls back to the original height. The speed at which it is launched equals the speed at which it lands. (Assume negligible air resistance.) g. A very massive object will free fall at the same rate of acceleration as a less massive object.
18. According to Newton's third law, every force is accompanied by an equal and opposite reaction force. The reason that these forces do not cancel each other is a. the action force acts for a longer time period b. the two forces are not always in the same direction c. one of the two forces is greater than the other d. the two forces act upon different objects; only forces on the same object can balance each other. e. . nonsense! They do cancel each other. Objects accelerate because of the presence of a third force Justify your answer:
7. If we know an object is moving at constant velocity, then we can be certain... the net force acting on the object is zero. the object is losing mass. the object is accelerating. there are no forces acting on the object.
4. The 100-kg crate is subjected to the forces shown. If it is originally at rest, determine the distance it slides in order to attain a speed of v= 6 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is Hk = 0.2. 500 N 400 N 30° 45°
2. Imagine you are trying to move a very heavy box, and it does not move. Then, you get a friend to help you push and it begins to slide. Explain, in terms of the quantities discussed in this investigation (Fk, тах Hs,Fk9 Hk) what is happening to the box in these two cases.
