- A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.5 g, what is the tension in the web?arrow_forwardIf a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.arrow_forwardA 7kg block is placed on an inclined that is 24 degrees to the horizontal. It has a coefficient of friction of 0.23. A force from the left at an angle is pushing the block. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. What force is required to push the block up the incline with constant velocity?arrow_forward
- Two crates of fruit are released from the top of a ramp inclined at 30 degrees from the horizontal and 4.5 meter long. The two crates consist of an apple crate of mass 20 kg that is placed in front of a watermelon crate of mass 80 kg. The apple crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.20 while the watermelon crate has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. How long does it take the apple crate to reach the bottom of the incline if it needs to travel a distance of 4.5 meters?arrow_forwardA 3.0 kg block moves up on a rough 20° inclined plane with µk = 0.43. A force of 16 N parallel to the incline and up the incline is applied on the block. What is the acceleration of the block?arrow_forwardThe 150 N box A starts from rest and slides down the inclined plane. The rollers are frictionless and the friction force between the box A and the inclined plane is Fs = 60 N. Block B has a weight of 50 N. If there is a relation aA + 2aB = 0 between the accelerations of the box A and the B block, what is the cable strength T? Neglect the mass of the pulleys and the cable. (aA = acceleration of A block and aB = acceleration of B block)arrow_forward
- A box with a weight of 50 N rests on a horizontal surface. A person pulls horizontally on it with a force of 15 N and it does not move. To start it moving, a second person pulls vertically upward on the box. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.4, what is the smallest vertical force for which the box moves?arrow_forwardA 489-kg crate is placed on an adjustable inclined plane. As one end of the incline is raised, the crate begins to move downward. If the crate slides down the plane with an acceleration of 0.08 m/s2 when the incline angle is 31°, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between ramp and crate? (g = 9.8 m/s2)arrow_forwardA box is initially sliding up a 32.5° incline at a speed of 13.0 m/s. The coefficients of friction between the incline and the box are uk= 0.680 and us= 0.740. (a) What is the acceleration of the box while it is sliding up the incline? (b) How far will the box travel up the inline before coming to a stop? (c) What would the coefficient of kinetic friction have to be for the box to be able to slide down the ramp at a constant speed?arrow_forward
- A block is sliding down a ramp at an angle of 0 = 16° to the horizontal. Its initial speed is 2.8 m/s. After sliding 13.6 m along the ramp, it comes to a rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, µ., between the block and the ramp? Өarrow_forwardA 5.00 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8.00 m long and is inclined at 30.0 above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is mk = 0.40, and the coefficient of static friction is ms = 0.43. What constant force F, applied parallel to the surface of the ramp, is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 6.00 s?arrow_forwardA 3.3 kg block is on an incline with a coefficient of static friction of 0.50. The angle that the ramp makes with the horizontal is increased gradually, until the block begins to slide down the ramp. If you know that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.12, find the time it will take the block to slide down the ramp a distance of 0.68 m starting from rest.arrow_forward
