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>

A wire must be replaced in a circuit by a new wire of the same material but nine times longer. If the new wire's resistance is t
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

three times the original diameter

Explanation:

From the wire's resistance formula, we can calculate the relation between the diameter of the wire and its length:

R=\rho\frac{l}{\pi \frac{d^2}{4}}\\d=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\

Here, d is the wire's diameter, \rho is the electrical resistivity of the material and R is the resistance of the wire. We have l'=9l

d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l'}{\pi R}}\\d'=\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 (9l)}{\pi R}}\\d'=3\sqrt{\rho \frac{4 l}{\pi R}}\\d'=3d

What is the acceleration of the object in the graph?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

-0.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is the slope of a velocity vs. time graph.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 12 m/s) / (15 s − 0 s)

a = -0.8 m/s²

Which of Jafar's statements are correct regarding distance and displacement?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:The distance and magnitude of displacement are sometimes equal." Jafar is correct. The distance traveled and the magnitude of displacement are equal if and only if the path is a straight line in one direction.

A steel marble with 0.05 kg of mass starts from rest and rolls down a ramp. It travels 0.25 m in 1.2 seconds. Find the force act
emmasim [6.3K]

After finding acceleration, it is found that 0.02 N of force is acting on the marble

<h3>What is Force ?</h3>

Force can simply be defined as a pull or push. It is the product of mass and acceleration of the object. It is a vector quantity and it is measured in Newton.

Given that a steel marble with 0.05 kg of mass starts from rest and rolls down a ramp. It travels 0.25 m in 1.2 seconds.

The parameters to consider are;

  • m = 0.05 Kg
  • u = 0
  • s = 0.25 m
  • t = 1.2 s
  • a = ?
  • F = ?

Before we find the force acting on the marble, let us first find the acceleration by using the formula: s = ut + 1/2at²

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0.25 = 0 + 1/2 × a × 1.2²

0.25 = 1/2 × a × 1.44

0.25 = 0.72a

a = 0.25/0.72

a = 0.35 m/s²

The force acting on the marble will be ;

F = ma

F = 0.05 × 0.35

F = 0.017

F = 0.02 N

Therefore, the force acting on the marble is 0.02 N
