A 50-n crate sits on a horizontal floor where the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.50 . A 20-
1 answer:
The resultant static friction force is equal to 20 N to the left.
Why?
I'm assuming that you forgot to write the question of the exercise, so, I will try to complete it:
"A 50-n crate sits on a horizontal floor where the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.50 . A 20-n force is applied to the crate acting to the right. What is the resulting static friction force acting on the crate?"
So, if we are going to calculate the resulting static friction force, it means that there is no movement, we must remember that the friction coefficient will give us the maximum force before the crate starts to move.
We can calculate the static friction force by using the following formula:
Since the crate is not moving (static), the static friction force acting on the crate will be equal to the applied force.
Calculating we have:
Hence, the static friction force is equal to 20 N to the left (since the applied force is acting to the right)
So,
Since the static friction force is equal to the applied force, the crate does not start to move.
Have a nice day!

Answer:
circuit sketched in first attached image.
Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance
Explanation:
For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.
For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.
so.
Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.
if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:
so.
The question is missing the diagram. Also, the choices must have pictorial representation. So, I have attached the missing diagram and the pictorial representation of the vectors.
Answer:
The correct representation is attached below. Force and acceleration will be towards the center of rotation while the velocity will be along the tangent to the circular motion. <u>Option (D).</u>
Explanation:
From the figure, we can conclude the following points:
1. The cylinder is under a uniform circular motion as the circular table is moving at constant speed.
2. For a circular motion, velocity acts along the tangent to the circular path.
3. For a circular motion, centripetal force acts on the body that causes it move around a circular path.
4 The direction of the centripetal force is radially inward towards the center of rotation.
5. The centripetal force causes a centripetal acceleration acting on the body.
6. From Newton's second law, the net acceleration of a body is in the same direction as that of the net force acting on it. So, centripetal acceleration also acts in the radially inward direction.
Therefore, from the above conclusions, it is clear that velocity will act in the horizontal direction at the given instance of time and force and acceleration will act vertically down for the given instance.
This is shown in the picture below. The option (D).
