Using your hand to exert a horizontal force, you push a physics textbook across the floor at a steady pace. The frictional force

exerted by the floor on the book opposes its motion. Is the "push" force exerted by your hand greater than, less than, or equal to that frictional force?

Answer:

It matches the friction force precisely.

Explanation:

  • When the book moves at a steady pace, it must comply with Newton's 2nd Law for all objects.
  • According to its mathematical representation (F=m*a), if a is zero, it implies that the net force acting on the book needs to be zero as well.
  • If we break this force down into two perpendicular components (such as horizontal and vertical forces), each component must also equate to zero.
  • In the horizontal direction, the only forces impacting the book are the force we apply with our hands and the frictional force resisting that push.
  • Consequently, these two forces must be equal and opposite to ensure that the total force remains at zero, thereby allowing the book to move consistently at the desired speed, as stated.

Sav [2226]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert from gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

Thus, to convert the quantity in gm / cm³ into kg/m³, you need to multiply by 10³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³.

Sav [2226]
The rod measures 450mm in length, while the disk has a radius of 75mm. An upward-supporting pin holds the assembly in place when Θ=0, and there exists a torsional spring with a constant of k=20N m/rad at the pin. One end of the rod connects to the pin, while the other connects to the disk.

. A spring has a length of 0.200 m when a 0.300-kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 1.95-kg mass hangs from it

Answer:

29.4 N/m

0.1

Explanation:

a) The restoring force is described by: F_r = -k*x.

The gravitational force is given as: F_g = mg.

Where:

F_r = restoring force,

F_g = gravitational force,

g represents acceleration due to gravity,

and k is the force constant, while x1 and x2 are the displacements for the two masses.

Given:

m1 = 1.29 kg,

m2 = 0.3 kg,

x1 = -0.75 m,

x2 = -0.2 m,

g = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the information yields:

F_r = F_g

-k*x1 + k*x2 = m1*g - m2*g.

Solving gives k = 29.4 N/m.

b) To find the unloaded length l:

l = x1 - (F_1/k).

Given:

m1 = 1.95kg, x1 = -0.75m.

Substituting in provides:

l = x1 - (F_1/k) = 0.1.

If you are driving 72 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 4.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattenti
ValentinkaMS [2425]
Speed is defined as distance over time. Hence, to determine the distance, we use d = V * t. Plugging in the values yields d = (72 Km / h) * (1h / 3600s) * (4.0 s) = 0.08Km. Thus, during this distracted period, a distance of 0.08Km was covered.
