. Prior to Remy's trip to Cleveland, his uncle tells him about this amazing barbecue restaurant there and raves about

the coefficient of kinetic friction between a couch and the floor is 0.65. if the couch has a mass of 42 kg and you push it with

Anna [14]

Explanation:

The net force along the horizontal direction is

$\sum{F_x} = F_{applied} - f$

where f is the frictional force. We can find the frictional force by looking at the vertical forces acting on the couch:

$\sum{F_y} = N - mg = 0 \Rightarrow N = mg$

From the definition of frictional force,

$f = \mu{N} = \mu{mg} = (0.65)(42\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)$

$\:\:\:\:= 267.5\:\text{N}$

Therefore, the net force on the couch is

$\sum{F_x} = 600\:\text{N} - 267.5\:\text{kN} = 332.5\:\text{N}$

What is the law of gravity?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Engineers and science fiction writers have proposed designing space stations in the shape of a rotating wheel or ring, which wou

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at $1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

b. the rotation needed is $2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_{c}= \omega ^2 r$

where $\omega$ is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).
