- Joe pushes down the length of the handle of a 14.1 kg lawn spreader. The handle makes an angle of 47.1° with the horizontal. Joe wishes to accelerate the spreader from rest to 1.39 m/s in 1.7 s. What force must Joe apply to the handle? Answer in units of N.arrow_forwardAn astronaut named Johnny is driving to their rocket when they suddenly need to break. The car weighs 1900 lbs and is moving at 35 mi/hr when the astronaut slams on the breaks on dry road. Find the amount of time needed for the car to stop. Use k = 0.7. How many forces are present in the a direction? 1 It'll take the car 11.412 x seconds to stop.arrow_forward5.68 CP In Fig. P5.68 m1 20.0 kg and α = 53.1º. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is k = 0.40.

The acceleration down the incline is 1.00 m/s2 and the velocity is down the incline. The force is applied to a 200 kg mass and a string connects the 200 kg mass to a 150 kg mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.200. The force F is what? This is the explanation a got, but I don't understand it. Can you explain it please?
