Question

D Question 16 3 pts Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. Three forces, one of 99.0 N directed to the right, the second of 33.0 N directed to the left, and the third of 45.0 N directed to upward, act simultaneously on an object with a mass of 65.0 kg. What is the direction of the resultant acceleration (in degrees) of the object? Note: Round your final answer to 3 sig. fig. Do NOT write units. D Question 17 2 pts Friction. A 54.0 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 175 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Calculate the coefficient of static friction,u between the crate and the floor. Note: Round your final answer to 3 sig. fig. Do NOT write units.

Explanation / Answer

16)

Net force along x:

Fx = 99 - 33 = 66 N

Net force along y:

Fy = 45 N

Direction of acceleration = direction of force

= arctan(Fy/Fx)

= 34.3 (degrees)

17)

force of friction f = F = 175

Also, f = umg

Equating both:

umg = 175

=> u = 175/mg

= 175/(54*9.8)

= 0.331
