The force required is 319 N

Explanation:

The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:

F_f = \mu W

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

W is the weight of the object

Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.

For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:

\mu = 0.55 (coefficient of friction)

W=580 N (weight of the leaves)

Substituting, we find:

F=(0.55)(580)=319 N

If you double the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: If the net force acting on an object doubles, its acceleration is doubled. If the mass is doubled, then acceleration will be halved. If both the net force and the mass are doubled, the acceleration will be unchanged.

Pions have a half-life of 1.8 x 10^-8 s. A pion beam leaves an accelerator at a speed of 0.8c. What is the expected distance ove
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

the expected distance is 4.32 m

Explanation:

given data

half life time = 1.8 × 10^{-8} s

speed = 0.8 c = 0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

to find out

expected distance over

solution

we know c is speed of light in air is 3 × 10^{8} m/s

we calculate expected distance by given formula that is

expected distance = half life time × speed   .........1

put here all these value

expected distance = half life time × speed

expected distance = 1.8 × 10^{-8} ×  0.8 × 3 × 10^{8}

expected distance = 4.32

so the expected distance is 4.32 m

The initial velocity of a 4.0-kg box is 11 m/s, due west. After the box slides 4.0 m horizontally, its speed is 1.5 m/s. Determi
ankoles [38]

Answer:

F = - 59.375 N

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Initial velocity = 11 m/s

final velocity = 1.5 m/s

let force be F

work done =  mass* F = 4*F

we know that

Change in kinetic energy = work done

kinetic energy = = \frac{1}{2}*m*(v_{2}^{2}-v_{1}^{2})

kinetic energy = = \frac{1}{2}*4*(1.5^{2}-11^{2}) = -237.5 kg m/s2

-237.5 = 4*F

F = - 59.375 N

Tex, an 85.0 kilogram rodeo bull rider is thrown from the bull after a short ride. The 520. kilogram bull chases after Tex at 13
Julli [10]
The question above can be answered through using the concept of Conservation of Momentum which may be expressed as,
                 m1v1 + m2v2 = mTvT
where m1 and v1 are mass and initial velocity of Tex, 2s are that of the bull, and the Ts are the total. Then substituting,
                    (85 kg)(3 m/s) + (520 kg)(13 m/s) = (520 + 85)(vT)
The value of vT obtained from above equation is 11.6 m/s
