You need to move a 500 N box across the floor. You pull on the box with a rope which is also horizontal. The floor is not frictionless. You move the box so that it moves with a constant v of 3m/s by applying a 200 N force.

Determine the velocity of the 100kg crate being pulled horizontally by a rope connected to a motor in 15s if the motor operates with an efficiency of e = 0.8. The power input of the motor is 2Kw. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is 0.2...
Many of you have done this in your past. Two magnets, one under a table, another on top of the table, and moving the one under will cause the one on top to move.
Is there a material that, given the same thickness, will block this magnetic pull/repelling between the two magnets?
Thanks.
hello, new to these forums, and i have a question about gravitational pull of two objects
i'm trying to make a game based off of gravity's pull on objects, and have been reading through articles on gravity, i decided to go with Newton's law of universal gravatation for calculating the force...
Hello;
We know that waves of the sea are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. But if this is true, why doesn't this happen with lakes or cups of water? What about things like molecules in the air?
Thanks.
If I have 2 objects with equivalent mass. Is there anyway I can make one of them have a stronger pull by changing the density? If so are there any equations the help me predict to what extent?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I was browsing the internet and came across this forum, I was thinking to myself one day and decided to do a google search.
My question is basically, how do I determine how much weight a bolt can take before it pulls out of the thread.
For example, I want to attach Part A to Part B with...
