RESPONSE --> I am uncertain of which formula to use on this particular situation, I know that ds = 50cm, and that ff = .10 and that the density = 15g/cm but I am unsure of where to go from here. confidence assessment: 0

12:47:53 The part of the chain hanging over the edge of the table will experience an unbalanced force from gravity and will therefore tend to accelerate chain in the direction of the hanging portion. The remainder of the chain will also experience the gravitational force, but this force will be countered by the upward force exerted on the chain by the table. The force between the chain and the table will give rise to a frictional force which will resist motion toward the hanging portion of the chain. If 50 cm of chain hang over the edge of the tabletop, then we have 50 cm * (15 g/cm) = 750 grams = .75 kg of chain hanging over the edge. Gravity will exert a force of 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 * .75 kg = 7.3 Newtons of force on this mass, and this force will tend to accelerate the chain. The remaining 150 cm of chain lie on the tabletop. This portion of the chain has a mass which is easily shown to be 2.25 kg, so gravity exerts a force of approximately 21 Newtons on this portion of the chain. The tabletop pushes backup with a 21 Newton force, and this force between tabletop and chain results in a frictional force of .10 * 21 Newtons = 2.1 Newtons. We thus have the 7.3 Newton gravitational force on the hanging portion of the chain, resisted by the 2.1 Newton force of friction to give is a net force of 5.2 Newtons. Since the chain has a total mass of 3 kg, this net force results in an acceleration of 5.2 N / (3 kg) = 1.7 meters/second ^ 2, approximately.

RESPONSE --> I understand that you take 50 cm * (15 g/cm) = 750 grams = .75 kg of the chain which is hanging over the edge and then gravity will exert a force of 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 * .75 kg = 7.3 Newtons and therefore the 150cm chain left has a mass of 2.25kg and gravity exerts a forces of 21 N and the fricitonal force on this would be .10 * 21N = 2.1N and the netforce would therefore be 7.3N - 2.1N = 5.2N and since the total mass of the chain is 3kg, the acceleration is therefore, 5.2N / 3kg = 1.7m/s^2 self critique assessment: 2

13:03:05 `q002. What is the maximum length of chain that can hang over the edge before the chain begins accelerating?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I used vf^2 = vo^2 + 2a ds and from there I plugged in, vf^2 = 0 + 2 (1.7m/s^2 ) (.200m) and then I took the square root of .68 and got .8m/s confidence assessment: 1

13:08:05 The maximum length that can hang over is the length for which the frictional force opposing motion is precisely equal to the gravitational force on the hanging portion of the chain. If x stands for the length in cm of the portion of chain hanging over the edge of the table, then the mass of the length is x * .015 kg / cm and it experiences a gravitational force of (x * .015 kg / cm) * 9.8 m/s^2 = x * .147 N / cm. The portion of chain remaining on the tabletop is 200 cm - x. The mass of this portion is (200 cm - x) * .015 kg / cm and gravity exerts a force of (200 cm - x) * .015 kg / cm * 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 = .147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) on this portion. This will result in a frictional force of .10 * .147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) = .0147 N / cm * (200 cm - x). Since the maximum length that can hang over is the length for which the frictional force opposing motion is precisely equal to the gravitational force on the hanging portion of the chain, we set the to forces equal and solve for x. Our equation is .0147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) = .147 N/cm * x. Dividing both sides by .0147 N/cm we obtain 200 cm - x = 10 * x. Adding x to both sides we obtain 200 cm = 11 x so that x = 200 cm / 11 = 18 cm, approx..

RESPONSE --> I understand that the mass of the length is x * .015 kg / cm and it experiences a gravitational force of (x * .015 kg / cm) * 9.8 m/s^2 = x * .147 N / cm and that the portion of chain remaining on the tabletop is 200 cm - x. The mass of this portion is (200 cm - x) * .015 kg / cm and gravity exerts a force of (200 cm - x) * .015 kg / cm * 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 = .147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) on this portion. This will result in a frictional force of .10 * .147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) = .0147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) and therefore, .0147 N / cm * (200 cm - x) = .147 N/cm * x. Dividing both sides by .0147 N/cm we obtain 200 cm - x = 10 * x. Adding x to both sides we obtain 200 cm = 11 x so that x = 200 cm / 11 = 18 cm self critique assessment: 2

13:13:28 `q003. The air resistance encountered by a certain falling object of mass 5 kg is given in Newtons by the formula F = .125 v^2, where the force F is in Newtons when the velocity v is in meters/second. As the object falls its velocity increases, and keeps increasing as it approaches its terminal velocity at which the net force on the falling object is zero, which by Newton's Second Law results in zero acceleration and hence in constant velocity. What is the terminal velocity of this object?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I took 5kg* 9.8m/s^2 = 49N and then I plugged that into F = .125v^2 where 49N = .125v^2 and then I divided both sides by .125 and got 392 = v^2 and then I took the square root of 392 = 19.7m/sec confidence assessment: 1

13:14:34 Only two forces act on this object, the downward force exerted on it by gravity and the upward force exerted by air resistance. The downward force exerted by gravity remains constant at 5 kg * 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 = 49 Newtons. When this force is equal to the .125 v^2 Newton force of friction the object will be at terminal velocity. Setting .125 v^2 Newtons = 49 Newtons, we divide both sides by .125 Newtons to obtain v^2 = 49 Newtons/(.125 Newtons) = 392. Taking square roots we obtain v = `sqrt (392) = 19.8, which represents 19.8 meters/second.

RESPONSE --> I got the same answer where I took 5 kg * 9.8 meters/second ^ 2 = 49 Newtons and then I took .125 v^2 Newtons = 49 Newtons, we divide both sides by .125 Newtons to obtain v^2 = 49 Newtons/(.125 Newtons) = 392. Taking square roots we obtain v = `sqrt (392) = 19.8, which represents 19.8 meters/second self critique assessment: 2
