Determine the force Q-> when the block moves with constant velocity. Express your answer in vector form.
To understand kinetic and static friction.
A block of mass m lies on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is μs. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, with μk<μs.
Suppose you push horizontally with precisely enough force to make the block start to move, and you continue to apply the same amount of force even after it starts moving. Find the acceleration aaa of the block after it begins to move.
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables μs, μk, and m, as well as the free-fall acceleration g.
A rock moving in the +x-direction with speed 16.0 m/s has a net force applied to it at time t = 0, and this produces a constant acceleration in the -x-direction that has magnitude 4.00 m/s2. For what three times t after the force is applied is the rock a distance of 24.0 m from its position at t = 0? For each of these three values of t, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the rock?

- If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.arrow_forwardThe gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.11 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 15.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 158 ms. The ball starts from rest. Through what distance does it move before its release? What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)arrow_forwardA model rocket is fired vertically from rest. It has a constant acceleration of 15.3 m/s^2 for the first 1.50 s. Then it’s fuel is exhausted, and it is in free fall. The rocket has a mass of 92.1g, the mass of the fuel is much less than 92.1 g. Ignore air resistance. What is the upward net force on the rocket during the first 1.50 s after liftoff? What is the upward force exerted on the rocket by the burning fuel? How long does the rocket travel? How long after liftoff does the rocket return to the ground?arrow_forward

Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it slides down the ramp without any further assistance.

A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?arrow_forward

However, since he is taller than the crate, he must pull it using a rope that makes an angle of 42 degrees with the horizontal. He exerts a force of 312 N as he pulls. What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line?
