A farmer is trying to haul three 500-kg trailers connected together with identical ropes that will break if their tension exceeds 3000 N . The first trailer is connected to his tractor with a rigid hitch. Part A If the tractor has to overcome a frictional force of 900 N per trailer to start them moving, what is the minimum force the tractor must exert on the first trailer to get them all rolling if the ropes are taut? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part B What is the maximum force the tractor can exert without breaking any rope? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A block A is on a horizontal frictionless table. An ideal cord is tied to block A and is connected to a fixed hook hanging from the ceiling, passing through a pair of ideal pulleys, one of which is mobile and supports block B as shown in the figure.

Sketch the FBD of a strong robot pushing a box along a horizontal floor if the box is not moving Sketch the FBD of a weaker robot pushing a box along a horizontal floor if the box is moving with a constant acceleration. If gravity were to magically double in question 2, would the FBD look different? Sketch the FBD for this case while the box is still moving with a constant acceleration Imagine 4 objects made of the same material but with different masses. All systems have the same coefficient of static friction μs. Rank in order from smallest to largest: the minimum applied force required to make the objects move if their masses are: Object 1 = m/2 Object 2 = m Object 3 = 2m Object 4 = 4m imagine three objects with the same coefficient of kinetic friction but each having a different mass. We’re going to push each object with a known force F. Rank the velocity of the objects, from smallest to greatest, after we apply the force F for 4 seconds Now think about a robot pushing an object…

A rope pulls on the lower block in the figure with a force of 46.2 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the surface is 0.1. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the upper block is also 0.1. Consider the pulley/ropes to be massless and frictionless. The upper block's mass is 2.5 kg. The lower block's mass is 4 kg. What is the acceleration of the lower block? Express your answer in m/s2. Your result must contain at least one digit after the decimal point
PLEASE SEND THE ANSER IN 10 MINUTES ! The magnitude of the net force exerted in the negative x direction on a 8.9kg particle varies in time as shown in the Figure below. If initially the velocity of the particle is −6.6m/s along the x axis, determine the final velocity of the particle after the 5.0s interval. Please note that (+) and (−) signs are used to denote positive and negative directions along the x axis! Don't forget to use the correct sign in your answer.

Question:A block with a mass of 0.276 kg slides across a table with an initial speed of 1.87 m/s. It has a frictional force acting on it from the table surface of 1.18 N. What is the magnitude (positive value) of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the block while it is sliding?My Comment:"The attachment was what I drew so far, but I am honestly confused on how to start this problem. Did I at least draw the scenario correctly?"
Your relative from abroad sent your family a balikbayan box. Since you know that the laws of motion will help you move the box easily, you volunteered to bring it inside your house. You have two options: (a) pulling the box from a rope that makes an angle with the surface or (b) by pushing the box with a force that makes the same angle (but pointing downwards) with the surface. Which choice will you choose? Will the angle matter?
An object of mass mm is at rest at the top of a smooth slope of height h and length L. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the surface, μk, is small enough that the object will slide down the slope if given a very small push to get it started. a.)
