Given a drag coefficient of 0.42 kg/sec, the magnitude of the drag force (N) on a projectile moving with a speed of 8 m/s is
In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
the coefficient of static friction between block A and a horizontal floor is 0.320, and the coefficient of static friction between block B and the floor is 0.300. The mass of each block is 2.00kg,and they are connected together by a cord. If a horizontal force F pulling on block B is slowly increased ,in a direction parallel to the connectin cord,until the block start sliding ,what is the magnitude of F at the instant that they start to slide?
