Answer:
a) a = 17.1 m / s², b) F = 3.04 N
Explanation:
This is an exercise of Newton's second law, in this case the selection of the reference system is very important, we have two possibilities
* a reference system with the horizontal x axis, for this selection the normal and the friction force have x and y components
* a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, in this case the weight and the applied force have x and y components
We are going to select the second possibility, since it is the most used in inclined plane problems, let's analyze the angle of the applied force (F) it has an angle 10º with respect to the x axis, if we rotate this axis 30º the new angle is
θ = 10 -30 = -20º
The negative sign indicates that it is in the fourth quadrant. Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the applied force
sin (-20) = F_{y} / F
cos (-20) = Fₓ / F
F_{y} = F sin (-20)
Fₓ = F cos (-20)
F_y = 18 sin (-20) = -6.16 N
Fₓ = 18 cos (-20) = 16.9 N
The decomposition of the weight is the customary
sin 30 = Wₓ / W
cos 30 = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin 30 = mg sin 30
W_y = W cos 30 = m g cos 30
Wₓ = 0.8 9.8 sin 30 = 3.92 N
W_y = 0.8 9.8 cos 30 = 6.79 N
Notice that in the case the angle is measured with respect to the axis y perpendicular to the plane
Now we can write Newton's second law for each axis
X axis
Fₓ - fr = m a
Y Axis
N - [tex]F_{y}[/tex] - Wy = 0
N =F_{y} + Wy
N = 6.16 + 6.79
They both go to the negative side of the axis and
N = 12.95 N
The friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
we substitute
Fₓ - μ N = m a
a = (Fₓ - μ N) / m
we calculate
a = (16.9 - 0.25 12.95) / 0.8
a = 17.1 m / s²
b) now the block slides down with constant speed, therefore the acceleration is zero
ask for the value of the applied force, we will suppose that with the same angle, that is, only its modulus was reduced
Newton's law for the x axis
Fₓ -fr = 0
Fₓ = fr
F cos 20 = μ N
F = μ N / cos 20
we calculate
F = 0.25 12.95 / cos 20
F = 3.04 N
this is the force applied at an angle of 10º to the horizontal

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was tripled and the mass were doubled, then the new acceleration would be _____ m/s/s.
Answer:
The new acceleration would be 9 m/s².
Explanation:
Acceleration of an object is 6 m/s²
Net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration i.e.
F = ma
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\\dfrac{F}{m}=6\ m/s^2[/tex]
If the net force was tripled and the mass were doubled, it means,
F' = 3F
m' = 2m
Let a' is new acceleration. So,
[tex]a'=\dfrac{F'}{m'}\\\\a'=\dfrac{(3F)}{(2m)}\\\\a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times 6\\\\a'=9\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the new acceleration would be 9 m/s².
Huygens claimed that near the surface of the Earth the velocity downwards of an object released from rest, vy, was directly proportional to the square root of the distance it had fallen, . This is true if c is equal to
Answer:
the expression is False
Explanation:
From the kinematics equations we can find the speed of a body in a clean fall
v = v₀ - g t
v² = V₀² - 2 g y
If the body starts from rest, the initial speed is zero (vo = 0)
v= √ (2g y)
In the first equation it gives us the relationship between speed and time.
With the second equation we can find the speed in which the distance works, this is the expression, see that speed is promotional at the height of a delicate body.
Therefore the expression is False

A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimeters per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing at the instant the radius is 40 centimeters
Answer:
0.245cm/minExplanation:
The volume of the spherical balloon is expressed as V = 4/3πr³ where r is the radius of the spherical balloon. If the spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 500 cubic centimetres per minute then dV/dt = 500cm³.
Using chain rule to express dV/dt;
dV/dt = dV/dr*dr/dt
dr/dt is the rate at which the radius of the gallon is increasing.
From the formula, dV/dr = 3(4/3πr^3-1))
dV/dr = 4πr²
dV/dt = 4πr² *dr/dt
500 = 4πr² *dr/dt
If radius r = 40;
500 = 4π(40)² *dr/dt
500 = 6400π*dr/dt
dr/dt = 500/6400π
dr/dt = 5/64π
dr/dt = 0.245cm/min
Hence, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 0.245cm/min

If you were to calculate the pull of the Sun on the Earth and the pull of the Moon on the Earth, you would undoubtedly find that the Sun's pull is much stronger than that of the Moon, yet the Moon's pull is the primary cause of tides on the Earth. Tides exist because of the difference in the gravitational pull of a body (Sun or Moon) on opposite sides of the Earth. Even though the Sun's pull is stronger, the difference between the pull on the near and far sides is greater for the Moon.

Rick spends four hours researching on the internet and does 1090 J of work. In the process, his internal energy decreases by 2190 J. Determine the value of Q, including the algebraic sign.
Answer:
Q = -3280J
Explanation:
From the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:
ΔU = Q + W ----------(i)
Where;
ΔU = total change in internal energy of a system.
Q = heat exchanged between the system and the surrounding
W = work done by or on the system.
If heat is lost into the surrounding, then Q = -ve, else Q = +ve
If work is done on the system, then W = -ve, else W = -ve
=> From the question, Rick is the system and does a work of
W = +1090J [since Rick does the work, W = +ve]
=>Also, the internal energy decreases by 2190J, therefore,
ΔU = -2190J [since there is a decrease in internal energy]
Substitute the values of W and ΔU into equation (i) as follows;
-2190 = Q + 1090
=> Q = -2190 - 1090
=> Q = -3280J
Therefore, the value of Q = -3280J

What is the change in internal energy of the system (∆U) in a process in which 10 kJ of heat energy is absorbed by the system and 70 kJ of work is done by the system?
Answer:
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
∆U= q + w
= 10kj+(-70kJ)
-60kJ
, w = + 70 kJ
(work done on the system is positive)
q = -10kJ ( heat is given out, so negative)
∆U = -10 + (+70) = +60 kJ
Thus, the internal energy of the system decreases by 60 kJ.

If a 950 kg merry-go-round platform of radius 4.5 meters is driven by a mechanism located 2.0 meters from its center of rotation, how much force must the mechanism provide to get the platform moving at 5.5 revolutions per minute after 12 seconds if it were initially at rest
Answer:
F = 213.75 N
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the angular acceleration of merry-go-round. For that purpose we use 1st equation of motion in angular form.
ωf = ωi + αt
where,
ωf=final angular velocity=(5.5 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s)=0.58 rad/s
ωi =initial angular velocity = 0 rad/s
t = time = 12 s
α = angular acceleration = ?
Therefore,
0.58 rad/s = 0 rad/s + α(12 s)
α = (0.58 rad/s)/(12 s)
α = 0.05 rad/s²
Now, we shall find the linear acceleration of the merry-go-round:
a = rα
where,
a = linear acceleration = ?
r = radius = 4.5 m
Therefore,
a = (4.5 m)(0.05 rad/s²)
a = 0.225 m/s²
Now, the force is given by Newton;s 2nd Law:
F = ma
where,
F = Force = ?
m = mass pf merry-go-round = 950 kg
Therefore,
F = (950 kg)(0.225 m/s²)
F = 213.75 N

b. The distance over which the skater will move in the opposite direction if the coefficient of kinetic friction between his skates and the ice is 0.03.
Answer:
Explanation:
know that there is no external force on skater and the stone so the total momentum of the system will remains constant
so we will have
here we have
so the skater will move back with above speed
now the deceleration of the skater is due to friction given as
Answer:
(a) 3.553 m/s
(b) 21.46 m
Explanation:
(a) Applying the law of of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'.................. Equation 1
Where m and m' are the mass of skater and stone respectively, u and u' are the initial velocity of skater and stone respectively, v and v' are the final velocity of the skater and the stone respectively.
Note, u = 0 m/s, u' = 0 m/s
Therefore,
0 = mv+m'v'
-mv = m'v'................ Equation 2
make v the subject of the equation
v = -m'v'/m............. Equation 3
Given: m = 45 kg, m' = 7.65 kg, v' = 20.9 m/s
Substitute into equation 3
v = 7.65(20.9)/45
v = -3.553 m/s
Hence the speed of the skater = 3.553 m/s
(b) F = mgμ..............Equation 4
But F = ma
Therefore,
ma = mgμ
a = gμ............... Equation 5
Where a = acceleration of the skater, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of kinetic friction
Given: μ = 0.03, g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 5
a = 0.03(9.8)
a = 0.294 m/s²
Using the equation of motion,
v² = u²+2as............. Equation 6
Where s = distance moved by the skater.
note that u = 0 m/s.
therefore,
v² = 2as
s = v²/2a................ Equation 7
Given: v = 3.553 m/s, a = 0.294
Substitute into equation 7
s = 3.553²/(2×0.294)
s = 12.62/0.588
s = 21.46 m

The index of refraction of a certain material is 1.25. If I send red light (700 nm) through the material, what will the frequency of the light be in the material
Answer:
f1 / f2 = n2 / n1
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we should remember that the formula for index of refraction is defined as:
n = c / v
or
n v = c
Where,
n = index of refraction
c = speed of light
v = speed of light in the medium
Since speed of light is constant, then we can simply equate the materials 1 and 2:
n1 v1 = n2 v2
Where the speed of light in the medium (v) can be expressed as:
v = w * f
Where,
w = wavelength of light
f = frequency of light
Therefore substituting this back into the relating equation:
n1 w1 f1 = n1 w2 f1
Since it is given that the light is monochromatic, w1 = w2, this further simplifies the equation to:
n1 f1 = n2 f2
f1 / f2 = n2 / n1 (ANSWER)
Tesla Model S and the driver have a total mass of 2250 kg. The projected front area of the car is 2.35 m2. The car is traveling at 72km/hr when the driver puts the transmission into neutral and allows the car to freely coast until after 105 seconds its speed reaches 54 km/hr. Determine the drag coefficient for the car, assuming its values is constant. Neglect rolling and other mechanical resistance.
Answer:
The drag coefficient of the car is 0.189
Explanation:
mass of the car = 2250 kg
Frontal area of the car = 2.35 m^2
initial speed of the car = 72 km/hr = (72 x 1000)/3600 = 20 m/s
final speed of the car = 54 km/hr = (54 x 1000)/3600 = 15 m/s
time taken by the car to slow down = 105 sec
We'll assume that the value of the drag coefficient is constant throughout the deceleration.
The car decelerates from 20 m/s to 15 m/s in 105 seconds, the deceleration is calculated from
[tex]a = \frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
where a is the deceleration
v is the final speed of the car
u is the initial speed of the car
t is the time taken to decelerate.
imputing values, we'll have
[tex]a = \frac{15-20}{105}[/tex] = -0.0476 m/s^2 (the -ve sign indicates a deceleration, which is a negative acceleration)
we can safely ignore the -ve sign in other calculations that follows
The force (drag force) with which the air around the decelerates the car is equal to..
[tex]F_{D} = ma[/tex]
where [tex]F_{D}[/tex] is the drag force
m is the mass of the car
a is the deceleration of the car
imputing values, we'll have
[tex]F_{D} = 2250*0.0476[/tex] = 107.1 N
equation for drag force is
[tex]F_{D} = \frac{1}{2}pAC_{D} v^{2}[/tex]
where p is the air density ≅ 1.225 kg/m³
A is the frontal area of the car
[tex]C_{D}[/tex] is drag coefficient of the car
v is the relative velocity of air and the car, and will be taken as the initial velocity of the car before starting to decelerate.
imputing these values, we'll have
[tex]107.1 = \frac{1}{2}*1.225*2.35*C_{D}*20^{2}[/tex] = 575.75[tex]C_{D}[/tex]
[tex]C_{D}[/tex] = 107.1/575.75 = 0.189

ω = 20( given )
velocity = ω r = ω l
Let the maximum angular displacement in terms of degree be θ .
1/2 m v ² = mgl ( 1 - cosθ ) ,
[ l-lcosθ is loss of height . we have applied law of conservation of mechanical energy .]
.5 ( ω l )² = gl( 1 - cos θ )
.5 ω² l = g ( 1 - cosθ )
1 - cosθ = .5 ω² l /g
cosθ = 1 - .5 ω² l /g
θ can be calculated , if value of l is given .
A 20 kg child is on a swing that hangs from 2.6-m-long chains. What is her maximum speed if she swings out to a 46 angle?
Answer:
Explanation:
Here potential energy lost = mgh
h = L ( 1 - cos 46 ) where L is length of rope
= 2.6 x ( 1 - cos 46 )
PE lost = 20 x 9.8 x 2.6 ( 1 - cos 46 )
= 155.6 J
gain of kinetic energy = loss of PE
1/2 m v² = 155.6
.5 x 20 x v² = 155.6
v² = 15.56
v = 3.94 m /s
