- A 40 kg wooden crate is being pulled across a wooden surface by a force (of magnitude F) that is angled 20° above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. (a)Calculāte the minimum force F (in N) that must be exerted to get the crate moving. (b)What is the acceleration (in m/s?) of the crate once it starts to move, if that force (F) is maintained?arrow_forwardA person whose weight is 520 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 35.1 deep. The tension in the rope is 569 N. How long, starting from rest, will it take to bring the person out of the ve?arrow_forwardFor V1=V1x^(unit vector) and V2=V2x^, it is V1>0 and V2<0. Accelerations are a1=a1x^, a2=a2x^and a3=a3y^. ropes and pulleys are massless and frictionless. Solve the problem using the coordinate system given in the figure. For m1=m2, find a1, a2, a3 in terms of (m1, m2, m3, g and µ). Hint given in figure 2arrow_forward
- A toad with mass of 280 g leaps into the air to catch a fly. If the toad's jump was at an angle of 35 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and with an initial velocity of 5.1 m/s, what is its speed (in m/s) when it reaches its maximum vertical displacement?arrow_forwardReferring to the previous question about the wooden crate on the wood floor with given coefficients of friction: If we push the crate with a horizontal force of 300 N, what will be the magnitude of its acceleration in m/s2 ? [Answer with 3 significant figures]arrow_forwardA block is pushed up a frictionless 30° incline by an applied force as shown. If F = 39 N and M = 2.8 kg, what is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the block?arrow_forward
- A crate is pulled up using frictionless pulleys, as shown in the diagram, at an angle of 45 degrees. The masses are: for the small pulley, m1 = 2.5kg, for the travelling pulley, M2 = 3.0kg, and for the crate, MC = 13.0kg. What is the minimum tension (in Newtons) with which the operator must pull, in order to slowly raise the crate?arrow_forwardAn object is being acted upon by three forces and moves with constant velocity. One force is 65 N along the x-axis. The second is 80N along the y axis. What is the magnitude of the third force? Answer: N.arrow_forwardConsider the folowing situation: Ꮎ A 2 kg box on an inclined frictionless table pulled up the incline by a cord. If the box is accelerating up the incline at the rate of 2.4 m/s², what is the magnitude of the tension in the cord? The angle that the table makes with the horizontal is = 13 degrees. Round your response to two decimals.arrow_forward
- A person pushes a 0.20 kg lunch tray across a table, and it slows down as it slides because of friction, The coefficients of friction between the tray and the table areu, = 0.15 and u = 0.11. What would the acceleration of the tray be? (0.5 points will be for correct units.) Your answer:arrow_forwardA skier traveling travelling with a magnitude of velocity v approaches a ramp that has an angle of 0. The approach to the ramp is frictionless, but there is friction on the ramp, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the ramp is uk. If the skier travels a distance d up the ramp before coming to a stop, what was their initial velocity v? Your answer for v should be in terms of d, g, uk, and 0. นarrow_forwardAn elevator in a tall building is allowed to reach a maximum speed of 3.5m/s going down.
