A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L (Figure 1) . The board rests on a frictionless horizontal s

urface. The coefficient of static friction between the board and the box is ?s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the box is, as usual, less than ?s.
Throughout the problem, use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. In the hints, use Ff for the magnitude of the friction force between the board and the box.

Find Fmin, the constant force with the least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the the box (which will then fall off of the opposite end of the board).

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables ?s, m1, m2, g, and L. Do not include Ff in your answer.

Explanation:

The entire system will accelerate due to the applied force. The box will feel a force opposing friction, and once this force surpasses the friction, the box will start moving. Therefore,

Ff = μs×m1×g

m1×a = μs×m1×g

a = μs×g

The force applied is expressed as

F = (m1 + m2)×a hence

F = μs×g×(m1+m2)

Determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, which has a density of 1.36 g/cm3. Write “sink” or “float” in
Sav [3153]

Explanation:

  • A substance will float if it has a lower density than the liquid it is placed in.
  • A substance will sink if its density exceeds that of the liquid.

Density of corn syrup = 1.36 g/cm^3

1) Density of gasoline = 0.748 g/cm^3

Gasoline's density is less than that of corn syrup, indicating it will float in corn syrup.

2) Density of water = 1 g/cm^3

Water's density is also less than that of corn syrup, meaning it will float in corn syrup.

3) Density of honey = 1.45 g/cm^3

Honey's density exceeds that of corn syrup, so it will sink in corn syrup.

4) Density of titanium = 4.506 g/cm^3

The density of titanium is greater than that of corn syrup, hence it will sink in corn syrup.

Lien is pushing a box across a table. She used a force of 100 N to get the box moving. Which force did she overcome to get the b
Yuliya22 [3333]
I will analyze each option. My assumption is that the answer is C.

Option A states that gravity acts downward on the box but does not affect its horizontal acceleration, provided there is no friction.

Option B indicates that the normal force goes upward on the box, which also does not influence horizontal acceleration.

In option C, the reaction force discussed relates to Newton’s 3rd law. This reaction force acts on Lien rather than the box itself, meaning she must overcome this force to set the box in motion. I believe this is the correct choice.

Option D refers to the push force applied by her; she wouldn’t have to counteract her own force regarding the box, but must address the reaction force as I mentioned in option C.

A basketball center holds a basketball straight out, 2.0 m above the floor, and releases it. It bounces off the floor and rises
Softa [3030]

Answer:

a) The ball's velocity just prior to hitting the ground measures -6.3 m/s

b) The ball's velocity right after bouncing off the ground registers at 3.1 m/s

c) The average acceleration's magnitude is 470 m/s², and its direction is upward, forming a 90º angle with the ground.

Explanation:

To begin, let’s assess the time it takes for the ball to reach the floor:

The equation outlining the ball's position is:

y = y0 + v0 * t + 1/2 g * t²

Where:

y = position at given time t

y0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

g = acceleration triggered by gravity

We establish the ground as the reference origin.

a) Since the ball is released rather than thrown, the initial velocity v0 is 0. The direction of acceleration is downward, directed towards the origin; thus, “g” is treated as negative. When the ball contacts the ground, its position will be 0. Therefore:

0 = 2.0 m + 0 m/s *t - 1/2 * 9.8 m/s² * t²

-2.0 m = -4.9 m/s² * t²

t² = -2.0 m / - 4.9 m/s²

t = 0.64 s

The motion equation for a falling body is:

v = v0 + g * t      where "v" denotes the velocity

Since v0= 0:

v = g * t = -9.8 m/s² * 0.64 s = -6.3 m/s

b) The pebble's speed reaches 0 during its maximum height. To find the time taken for the pebble to achieve that height, we can use the velocity equation and then substitute that time in the position equation to derive the initial velocity:

v = v0 + g * t

0 = v0 + g * t

-v0/g = t

Replacing t in the position equation, knowing the maximum height is 1.5 m:

y = y0 + v0 * t + 1/2* g * t² y = 1.5 m y0 = 0 m t = -v0/g

1.5 m = v0 * (-v0/g) + 1/2 * g (-v0/g)²

1.5 m = - v0²/g - 1/2 * v0²/g

1.5 m = -3/2 v0²/g

1.5 m * (-2/3) * g = v0²

1.5 m * (-2/3) * (-9.8 m/s²) = v0²

v0 = 3.1 m/s

c) The average acceleration can be determined by:

a = final velocity - initial velocity / time

a = 3.1 m/s - (-6.3 m/s) / 0.02 s = 470 m/s²

The direction of the acceleration is upward, perpendicular to the ground.

The vector average acceleration will be:

a = (0, 470 m/s²) or (470 m/s² * cos 90º, 470 m/s² * sin 90º)
