A crate of mass 45.0 kg is being transported on the flatbed of a pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck’s flatbed is 0.350, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. (a) The truck accelerates forward on level ground. What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the crate does not slide relative to the truck’s flatbed? (b) The truck barely exceeds this acceleration and then moves with constant acceleration, with the crate sliding along its bed. What is the acceleration of the crate relative to the ground?

- 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_forwardA black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.5 g, what is the tension in the web?arrow_forwardA 15-pound box sits at rest on a horizontal surface, and there is friction between the box and the surface. One side of the surface is raised slowly to create a ramp. The friction force f opposes the direction of motion and is proportional to the normal force F exerted by the surface on the box. The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of friction, u. When the angle of the ramp. 0, reaches 25°, the box begins to slide. Find the value of u 15 pounds The value of u is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forward

The coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.40, and coefficent of static friction is 0.43.
