Astockroom worker pushes a box with mass 13.7 cg on a horİzontal surface with a constant speed of 3.50m/s. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction betvween the box and the surface are 0.270 and 0.420, respectively.
Taliya’s car is stuck in the snow and ice. She hits the gas pedal hard, and her wheels start skidding (spinning in place), but the car isn’t moving. Is the type friction between the spinning wheels and the stationary snow and ice static friction or kinetic friction? Explain. Based on your answer in Part A, what is a physics-based approach Taliya could try next to free her car from the snow and ice? (Please give an indepth analysis
he FBD of the block should have looked like this. 1. A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a block of ice of mass m across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and ice is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. θ is the angle the force makes with the x-axis. In this part, we are going to set-up Newton's second Law equations for the cases(1) when the ice block just starts moving, and(2) when it is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a. All answers are symbolic. ALL ANSWERS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. Subpart 1: Newton's Second Law along the y-axis (i) Write Newton's Second Law along the y-axis by adding all forces in the y-direction taking into account their signs (forces pointing upwards are positive and downward are negative) in terms of the normal force N, weight mg, F and θ. In both scenarios, there is no acceleration along the y-direction, therefore, ay=0.…

Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1 = 12.25 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2 = 7.5 kg hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram. a.) Assuming friction forces are negligible, write an expression, using only the variables provided, for the acceleration that the block of mass m1 experiences in the x-direction. Your answer should involve the tension, T. b.) Under the same assumptions, write an expression for the acceleration, a2, the block of mass m2 experiences in the y-direction. Your answer should be in terms of the tension, T and m2. c.) Carefully consider how the accelerations a1 and a2 are related. Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration, a1, of the block of mass m1, in meters per square second. d.)Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope, T, in newtons.
