A wet bar of soap slides down a ramp 9.2 m long inclined at 8.0∘ .

Physics

Answer:

The time taken by the bar to reach the bottom t=4.886s

Given:

Displacement of the bar S=9.2m

Angle of inclination \theta=8.0^{\circ}

Coefficient of friction factor \mu k=0.056

To find:

How long it takes to reach the bottom ‘t’

<u>Step by Step Explanation:</u>

Solution:

We know that the formula for weight of the soap bar is given as

F_{g}=m g \sin \theta

The frictional force acting on this soap bar is determined by

F_{f}=\mu m g \cos \theta

To determine the constant acceleration of the bar, we derive as

F=m a

Here F=F_{g}-F_{f} and thus

F_{g}-F_{f}=m am g \sin \theta-\mu m g \cos \theta=m a

a=g \sin \theta-\mu g \cos \theta

WhereF_{g}=Force imparted due to weight

F_{f}=Frictional Force

m=Mass of the bar

g=Acceleration due to gravity

a=Acceleration of the bar

\sin \theta and \cos \theta are the angles involved in the system

If the bar starts from the rest

Equations of motion involved in calculating the displacement of the bar is given as

s=\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}, From this

 a t^{2}=2 s

t^{2}=\frac{2 s}{a}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 s}{a}}

Where s= displacement or length moved by the bar

a=Acceleration of the bar

t=Time taken to reach bottom

Substitute all the known values in the above equation we get

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 9.2}{a}} and we know that

a=g \sin \theta-\mu g \cos \theta

=9.8 \times \sin 8.0-0.056 \times 9.8 \times \cos 8.0

=1.364-0.543

a=0.821

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 9.2}{0.821}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.821}}

t=\sqrt{23.87332}

t=4.886s

Result:

Thus the time taken by the bar to reach the bottom is t=4.886s

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.
tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.
OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

 F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N      ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2

P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

4. How does the type of medium affect a sound wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.

Explanation:

As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.
