A 2.0-kg silverware drawer does not slide readily. The owner gradually pulls with more and more force, and when the applied forc

e reaches 9.0 N, the drawer suddenly opens, throwing all the utensils to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet?

Answer: 0.45

Explanation:

First note that the body that causes the body to move is its moving force (Fm) which is 9.0N

Since the mass of the body is 2.0kg, the weight will be;

W= mg = 2×10

W= 20N

For static body, the frictional force (Ff) acting on the body is equal to the moving force (Fm) since both forces acts along the horizontal on the body.

Ff = Fm = 9.0N

The normal reaction (R) on the body will also be equal to its weight(W) since weight acts downwards and the reaction acts in the opposite direction (upwards).

R = W = 20N

Ff = nR taking 'n' as coefficient of static friction between the drawer and the cabinet.

9.0 = 20n

n = 9/20

n = 0.45

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

Julia jumps straight upward on mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}3.7 s 2 m ​ 3, po
liberstina [14]

We know the equation of motion v = u+ at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

In this case Final velocity = -3.1 m/s, negative sign indicates it is pointing downward.

acceleration = - 3.7m/s^2 . Negative means acceleration is towards center of planet Mars.

Time taken = 3 seconds

v = u + at\\ \\-3.1 = u-3.7*3\\ \\u = 8 m/s

So jumping velocity of Julia = 8 m/s

A small light cylinder and a large heavy cylinder are released at the same time and roll down a ramp without slipping. Which one
forsale [732]

Answer:

C. Both reach the bottom at the same time.

Explanation:

For a rolling object down an inclined plane , the acceleration is given below

a = g sinθ / (1 + k² / r² )

θ is angle of inclination , k is radius of gyration , r is radius of the cylinder

For cylindrical object

k² / r² = 1/2

acceleration =  g sinθ  /( 1 + 1/2 )

= 2 g sinθ / 3  

Since it does not depend upon either mass or radius , acceleration of both the cylinder will be equal . Hence they will reach the bottom simultaneously.

The pail is rotated at a constant rate so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path. The water has mass m.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pail is rotated at a constant rate in vertical circular path  so it has the minimum speed at all points along its circular path . That means at top position the velocity is almost zero. In that case the centripetal force at top position will be provided by its weight or

mg = mv² / r ( r is radius of  vertical circular path )

v = √ rg

At the bottom position its velocity will be increased due to loss of potential energy

so 1/2 m V² = 1/2 m v² + mg x 2r  

V =√ 5 gr

If R be the reaction force at the bottom by bottom of pail

R - mg = mV² / r

R = mg +mV² / r

= mg + m x 5gr / r

R = 6mg

This is the magnitude of the force exerted by the water on the bottom of the pail .
