A man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg.
Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object.
If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s?
If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?
The block has mass m = 6.8 kg, the ramp is at an angle of θ = 28 degrees, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is μk = 0.25, and the applied force is F = 156.4 N.
What is the acceleration of the block up the ramp, in m/s2?
An object is thrown with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s from a cliff that is 125 m above level ground. If air resistance is negligible, the time that it takes the object to fall to the ground from the cliff is most nearly
