A turntable A is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. It is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk B starts

to slide on the turntable 15 s after the turntable begins to rotate. Knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.3 m/s^2 , determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable

Answer:

μ = 0.03

Explanation:

In order for the trunk not to slide the frictional force between the turntable and the trunk must be equal to the unbalanced force applied on the trunk by the motion of the turntable. Therefore,

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

but,

Unbalanced Force = ma (Newton's second law of motion)

Frictional Force = μN = μW = μmg

Therefore,

ma = μmg

a = μg

μ = a/g

where,

μ = coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable = ?

a = tangential acceleration of trunk = 0.3 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

μ = (0.3 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>μ = 0.03</u>

You hold a ruler that has a charge on its tip 6 cm above a small piece of tissue paper to see if it can be picked up. The ruler
Fed [463]

Answer:

9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between the tissue and the tip of the scale, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m

Charge on the ruler, Q = - 12 μC = - 12 × 10⁻⁶ C

Mass of the tissue = 3 g = 0.003 Kg

Now,

The force required to pick the tissue, F = mg

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity

also,

The force between (F) the charges is given as:

F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

where,

q is the charge on the tissue

k is the Coulomb's constant = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

thus,

mg=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

on substituting the respective values, we get

0.003\times9.81=\frac{9\times10^9\times(-12\times10^{-6})\times q}{0.06^2}

or

q = 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Minimum charge required to pick the tissue paper is 9.81 × 10⁻¹⁰ C

Leto [7]

Answer: 2.67 m/s^2

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is defined as v^2/r; in this case, it's 2^2/1.5, which is 2.67.

4. The Mariana trench is in the Pacific Ocean and has a depth of approximately 11,000 m. The density of seawater is approximatel
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between pressure and density is as follows.

            P = \rho gh

where,    P = pressure

     \rho = density

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              P = \rho gh

                 = 1025 \times 9.8 \times 11000

                 = 110495000 Pa

Now, relation between pressure and force is as follows.

                P = \frac{F}{A}

or,            F = PA

                F = 110495000 \times \pi \times (0.1)^{2}

                   = 3.47 \times 10^{6} N

Thus, we can conclude that a force of 3.47 \times 10^{6} N can be  experienced at such depth.
