When a box of chocolate bars is in mechanical equilibrium, what can be correctly said about all the forces that act on it?

Physics
1 answer:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

All the forces are opposite and equal and will give net force zero.

Explanation:

Mechanical equilibrium is the equilibrium in which the total force on the system is zero means the system is neither accelerated nor any kind of torque on the system.

The mechanical system can also be defined as the equal forces are applied in opposite direction in a system which cancels out all the forces, will give net force zero.

Therefore, when a box of chocolate bars is in mechanical equilibrium all the forces in this system  are equal and the opposite which balances each other will give net force zero.

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

Suppose you are standing at the exact center of a park surrounded by a circular road. An ambulance drives completely around this
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: The pitch of the sound does not change.

Explanation: The pitch of sound wave is dependent on the frequency of the sound wave. The frequency of sound wave when their is a relative motion between an observer and a source is given by Doppler effect.

Doppler effect is a mathematical equation that gives the relationship between the observed frequency by an observer from any sound source and the relative motion between the observer and the source.

Mathematically,

f'= (v+v') /(v-vs) * f

Where f' = observed frequency of sound wave

v= speed of sound in air

v'= velocity of observer relative to sound source

vs= velocity of sound source relating to observer

f= frequency of sound produced by source

The observer is at the center, thus the distance between the observer and the source is constant (according to mensuration, the radius is constant for any given circle and since the car is moving along a circular path and the observer is at the center, thus the distance between them is constant), thus making the relative velocity between the observer and the source constant (vs=constant).

Also the frequency of sound wave produce by the source is a constant (f=constant)

The speed of sound in air is also a constant (v=336m/s)

The observer is standing at the center thus he is not moving, hence the relative motion between observer and source is also constant (v'=constant)

Since all parameters are constant, then the observed frequency will be constant too.
