- A box of mass ?= 5.00 kg is at rest on a horizontal rough surface. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between the surface and the box are μ?= 0.450 and μ?= 0.400, respectively. Then, a horizontal force ?⃗ is exerted on the box. a. If the magnitude of the force ?⃗ is 12.0 N, what is the magnitude of the friction force on the block? b. If the magnitude of the force ?⃗ is 25.0 N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?arrow_forwardA 8 kg decoration hangs from the ceiling. It is suspended by 2 wires. The first wire forms a 40⁰ angle with the ceiling. The second wire forms a 50⁰ angle with the ceiling.a. Find the tension in the 2 wires (including magnitude and direction) b. Assuming the wire that forms the 40⁰ angle with the ceiling has a length of 0.3 metres, how farbelow the ceiling is the decoration suspended?arrow_forwardI watched a lot of Looney Toons when I was a kid, and liked that the Roadrunners legs would spin for a second or two before their claws caught traction. a. With a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2 what acceleration will the roadrunner experience while their feet are sliding accross the ground? b. How far forward will the roadrunner drift in a half second, starting from rest under this acceleration? c. After catching traction the Roadrunner accelerates away, travelling 10 m to get offscreen in one fifth of a second. What was their coefficient of static friction?arrow_forward
- A supermarket pushcart is being pushed at 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal from the starting point to the cashier, which is 25 feet away. The cart is 5kg, it contains 2 boxes of 10-1b flour and seven packs of half-kilogram sugar. The coefficient of friction between the wheels and the floor is 0.03. a. What force is required? b. How much force is required?arrow_forwardYou are trying to slide a heavy trunk across a horizontal floor. The mass of the trunk is 85 kg, and you need to exert a force of 3.3 x 102 N parallel to the ground to make it just begin to move. a). Determine the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the trunk. After the trunk starts moving, you continue to push with this force. The trunk reaches a speed of 2.0 m/s after 5.0 s. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction.arrow_forwardA rope is attached to a box. The box is placed on an inclined plane. The box has a mass of 50 kg. I would like to lower the box downward. I am holding it with a force F equal to 100 N. Ignore friction. The angle θ = 30o A. Does the box move downward or actually stay at rest on the inclined plane? B. Determine the acceleration of the box. C. Friction is present and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. Determine the new acceleration of the boxarrow_forward
