- Imagine trying to push a heavy sofa across the room. At first you have difficulty getting the sofa to budge, but once it starts to move your task becomes easier. a. Does the sofa accelerate for a moment after you get it moving? b. Use what you now know about static and kinetic friction to explain what is going on. Why wont the sofa move at first? Why do you have to apply a stronger and stronger force to get it to move? Why is the force you must apply to keep the sofa moving less than the force you applied just at the instant motion began?arrow_forwardWhen you learn to drive, you discover that you need to let up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and kinetic friction.arrow_forwardA fluid‑like substance called synovial fluid lubricates the surfaces where bones meet in joints, making the coefficient of static friction between bones very small. For simplicity, assume the surfaces in the knee are flat and horizontal. Why is the minimum force required for initiating movement of bones in a typical knee joint different for different people, in spite of the fact that their joints have the same coefficient of static friction?arrow_forward
- A 2.0kg block rests on a level surface. The coefficient of static friction is μs= 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μs = 0.40 A horizontal force , F, is applied to the block. As F is increased, the block begins moving. describe how the force of friction varies as F increases from the moment the block is at rest to when it begins moving. Indicate how you could determine the force of friction at each value of F - before the block starts moving, at the point it starts moving, and after it is moving. please show all work. arrow_forwardA 70 kg box is resting on a reclining floor. The coefficient of fricion between the floor and the box is: static = 0.30, kinetic = 0.10. If the floor is to be inclined at an angle of 25 deg a. what would be the acceleration of the object along the direction of the inclined floor? b. what would be the vertical displacement of the box after 1.5 seconds? Express your answer in unit of meters. c. what is the total distance travelled by the box after 1.5 seconds? Express your answer in unit of meters.arrow_forwardAn object with a mass of m placed on an oblique surface at an angle. We applied a horizontal force f = mg on the particle as shown. Assume that the friction force between the object and the surface is so large that the object remains in place? Find the vertical force FN and the friction force ff ? In terms of the static friction coefficient, what is the range of the angle at which the object remains stagnant?arrow_forward
- A 0.075 kg toy airplane is tied to the ceiling with a string. When the airplane's motor is started, it moves with a constant speed of 4.47 m/s in a horizontal circle of radius 1.28 m, as illustrated in Figure 6-40 (image attached). Find (a) the angle the string makes with the vertical and (b) the tension in the string.arrow_forwardWhen an ice hockey puck weighing 90 g is stationary on the ice, a minimal force of 0.2 N is required to move it. a) Calculate the coefficient of static friction. b) If the puck covers the first 10 cm in 0.5 s (while the 0.2 N force is still applied on the puck), calculate the kinetic friction coefficient.arrow_forwardCalculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading down a 6.00° slope (one that makes an angle of 6.00° with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. You may assume that the weight of the car is evenly distributed on all four tires and that the coefficient of static friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the deceleration. (Ignore rolling.) Calculate for a car: (a) On dry concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (c) On ice, assuming that μs = 0.100 , the same as for shoes on ice.arrow_forward
- Block B with a mass of 13kg A with a mass of 27kg stands on the corner as shown in the figure. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and the angle is 0.25 and the static coefficient of friction is 0.30, and there is no friction between the angle and the horizontal surface and the pulleys. (i) calculate the maximum mass of Block C, which will ensure that Block B does not shift over the corner a. (ii) if the mass of Block C is x %greater than the mass calculated in option (i), calculate the acceleration of Block B and C of the angle A in m/s2arrow_forwardTwo blocks are joined by an inextensible cable as shown. The mass of block A is 196.1 kg and the mass of block B is 260.9 kg. If the system is released from rest, determine the acceleration (in m/s2 ) of block B. Assume that the coefficient of friction between block A and the plane is μk = 0.45 and that the pulley is weightless and frictionless. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places. Use g = 9.81 m/s2arrow_forwardSuppose m1 and m2 in Example 6-14(Atwood’s Machine) are both increased by 1 kg. Does the acceleration of the blocks increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choosethe best explanation from among the following:I. The net force acting on the blocks is the same, but the totalmass that must be accelerated is greater.II. The difference in the masses is the same, and this is what determines the net force on the system.III. The force exerted on each block is greater, leading to an increased acceleration.arrow_forward
