9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o

Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

$m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.$

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Now the force of friction is $F_s=\mu*N,$ where $N$ is the normal force and from the diagram it is $F_y=mg*cos(\theta).$

Thus $F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).$

Therefore,

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Substituting the value for $F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta$ we get:

$F_{tot}= -38.63N.$

Now acceleration is simply

$a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.$

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

$d=\frac{1}{2} at^2$

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }$

Substitute the value of $d=0.50m$ and $a=7.7m/s$ and we get:

$t=0.36s.$

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of $a$ , because for this formula absolute value is needed.

an object with a mass of 5kg is moving with an initial velocity of 20m/s.the object accelerates at a rate of 15m/s/s for 8s.what

Alinara [238K]

It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts. All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =

(5kg) x (15 m/s²) =

75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>
