A 9.0-kg box of oranges slides from rest down a frictionless incline from a height of 5.0 m. A constant frictional force, introd

uced at point A, brings the block to rest at point B, 19 m to the right of point A.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, k , of the surface from A to B?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box $m = 9$ kg

Initial height $h = 5$ m

Final height $h' = 0$ m

Distance travel by block $d = 19$ m

For finding coefficient of kinetic friction,

We use conservation laws,

Work done by frictional force is equal to change in energy,

$W_{fr} = \Delta E$

Here only potential energy change so we can write,

$f_{k} d \cos 180 = mg(h') - mg(h)$

Here $f_{k} = \mu_{k} mg$

$-\mu_{k}\times mgd= -mgh$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{h}{d}$

$\mu _{k} = \frac{5}{19}$

$\mu _{k} = 0.26$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26

What do you know about potential energy? And how do we use it?

Liula [17]

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy, elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy, but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.

A 20 cm-long wire carrying a current of 6 A is immersed in a uniform magnetic field of 3 T. If the magnetic field is oriented at

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

the magnitude of the force that the wire will experience = 1.8 N

Explanation:

The force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field is :

F = Idl × B

where:

I = current flowing through the wire

dl = length of the wire

B = magnetic field

We can equally say that :

$|F| = IdlBsin \theta$

where : sin θ is the angle at which the orientation from the magnetic field to the wire occurs = 30°

Then;

$|F| = B\ I \ L \ sin \theta$

Given that:

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

I = 6 A

B = 3 T

θ = 30°

Then:

F = 3 × 6 × 0.2 sin 30°

F = 1.8 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that the wire will experience = 1.8 N

A ball is launched vertically with an initial speed of y˙0= 50 m/s, and its acceleration is governed by y¨=-g-cDy˙2, where the a

stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

$a=-g-c_Dv^2$

where $\ddot{y}=a$

$\dot{y}=v$

Also acceleration is given by

$a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}$

$ds=\frac{v}{a}dv$

$\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv$

$\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t$

$-0.001\times 2vdv=dt$

$vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}$

$at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2$

$t=-g-2.5$

at $v=0,\ t=-g$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}$

$\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}$

$s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})$

$s=113.608\ m$

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

$h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}$

$h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}$

$h=127.55\ m$
