The crate, which sets on a 10 degree incline, has a weight of 3433.5 N and is subjected to a towing force P acting at a 20 degre

e angle with the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.5, determine the force P needed to just start the crate moving down the plane.

Answer:

P = 981 N

Explanation:

Given

Angle of the incline θ = 10°

Angle of the towing force φ =20°

Weight of the crate W = 3433.5 N

The coefficient of static friction µ = 0.5

Solution

Forces Acting along the ramp

$\mu N = Pcos(10^{o}+10^{o})+Wsin10^{0} \\\mu N = Pcos30^{o}+Wsin10^{0}$

Forces acting perpendicular to the ramp

$N + Psin30^{o}=Wcos10^{0}\\\\N=Wcos10^{0}-Psin30^{o}\\$

Substituting the value of N we get

$\mu[Wcos10^{0}-Psin30^{o}] =Pcos30^{o}+Wsin10^{0}\\\\\mu Wcos10^{0}- \mu Psin30^{o} =Pcos30^{o}+Wsin10^{0}\\\\\mu Wcos10^{0}- Wsin10^{0}=Pcos30^{o}+\mu Psin30^{o} \\\\P=W\frac{\mu cos10^{0}- sin10^{0}}{cos30^{o}+\mu sin30^{o}} \\\\P=3433.5\frac{0.5 \times cos10^{0}- sin10^{0}}{cos30^{o}+0.5 \times sin30^{o}}\\\\P=980.66\\\\ P = 981 N$

6. Mr. Leppold jumps out of a plane with a parachute...before the chute opens,

polet [3.4K]

1) He has both potential and kinetic energy

2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

1)

The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the body above the ground

On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the object

Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:

- It is moving at a certain speed, so $v\neq 0$ , therefore he has kinetic energy

- He is at a certain height above the ground, $h\neq 0$ , therefore he has potential energy

2)

The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:

$E=PE+KE$

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.

During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as $h$ decreases, the potential energy decreases too.

However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The total mechanical energy of a syst

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies

A particle with a mass of 0.500 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 50.0 N/m. At the moment t = 0, th

svp [43]

a) $x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

$x(t)= A sin (\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s$

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

$v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m$

So, the equation of motion is

$x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

b) t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

$U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

While the kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The velocity as a function of time t is:

$v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)$

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}$

However, $\frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}$ , so we have

$(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\$

with two solutions:

$\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s$

$\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s$

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

$0=A sin (\omega t)$

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

$1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s$

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s$

The period of a pendulum is:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

$L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m$
