- Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.arrow_forwardIf a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t2 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.

Chuck exerts a force on a 1.1-kg push broom as he walks across the floor at a constant speed. The coefficient of friction between the floor and the broom is 0.45 and the broom handle makes an angle of 41° with the horizontal.

- A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant speed "v0". The constant horizontal force applied by the woman: has the same magnitude as the weight of the box. is greater than the weight of the box. has the same magnitude as the total force which resists the motion of the box. is greater than the total force which resists the motion of the box. is greater than either the weight of the box or the total force which resists its motion. If the woman in the previous question doubles the constant horizontal force that she exerts on the box to push it on the same horizontal floor, the box then moves: with a constant speed that is double the speed "v0" in the previous question. with a constant speed that is greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, but not necessarily twice as great. for a while with a speed that is constant and greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, then with a speed…arrow_forwardA 620 kg car pulling a 495 kg trailer accelerates forward at a rate of 2.20 m/s2.

What maximum horizontal force F can be applied to the block of mass M so that the blocks move together? m M 10 m/s² Given m = 2 kg, M = 4 kg, μ = 0.1 and g = (a) 6 N (b) 8 N (c) 4 N (d) 10 Narrow_forwardA truck is moving at 15m/s when the brakes are applied, in order to come to a stop before hitting a pothole 20m ahead. In the back of the truck is a crate. It is not tied down, but has a coefficient of static friction μs = 0.4 with the truck bed. Will the truck be able to stop in time, without the crate sliding? 4) Static friction problems of the “will it slide” type are usually done in three steps. The first, is to assume the object does not slide. How will you express this condition? That is, what equation must be true if the crate doesn’t slide, and false if it does? (Hint: This relates to acceleration.) 5) Second, one solves for the strength of the static friction based on the assumption of no sliding. Draw a free body diagram for the crate. 6) Construct the Newton’s Second Law equation for the crate, and solve for the magnitude of the static friction force. 7) Third, one compares the required static friction force to the maximum possible static friction force. Compute that maximum…arrow_forward
