An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a) $s = 0.603\,m$ , b) $s = 2.412\,m$

Explanation:

a) The system ice cube-spring is modelled by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation. Let assume that height at the bottom is zero:

$U_{g} = U_{k}$

$m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2}$

$s = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta}$

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.1\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 0.603\,m$

b) The distance travelled by the ice cube is:

$s = \frac{(25\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot (0.2\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.05\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 25^{\textdegree}}$

$s = 2.412\,m$

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N. What is the mechanical advantage of this system? How many sections of

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

$m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3$

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

$I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }$

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

$m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi) - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg$

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

During a trial run, race car A starts from rest and accelerates uniformly along a straight level track for a particular interval

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: car B has travelled 4times as far as Car A

d=vi*t+1/2at^2

No initial velocity so equation becomes;

d=1/2at^2 and the acceleration is the same between both only time is different;

Car A d=1/2a(1)^2

Car B d=1/2a(2)^2

Car A d= 1^2=1

Car B d= 2^2=4

Car B d=4*Car A

So car B has travelled 4 times as far as car A
