A 50.0-kg block is being pulled up a 16.0° slope by a force of 250 n that is parallel to the slope. the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the block and the slope is 0.200. what is the acceleration of the block
1 answer:
When dealing with multiple forces acting on a body, it is advisable to draw a free-body diagram like that shown in the picture. There are four forces acting on the box: weight (W) pointing straight down, normal force perpendicular to the slope denoted as Fn, force used to push the box upwards along the slope and the frictional force acting opposite to the direction of motion of the box denoted as Ff. Frictional force is equal to coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) multiplied with Fn.
∑Fy = Fn - mgcos30° = 0
Fn = (50)(9.81)(cos 16) = 471.5 N
When in motion, the net force is equal to mass times acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:
Fnet = F - μk*Fn - mgsin30° = ma
250 - (0.2)(471.5 N) - (50)(sin 16°) = (50)(a)
a = 2.84 m/s²
∑Fy = Fn - mgcos30° = 0
Fn = (50)(9.81)(cos 16) = 471.5 N
When in motion, the net force is equal to mass times acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:
Fnet = F - μk*Fn - mgsin30° = ma
250 - (0.2)(471.5 N) - (50)(sin 16°) = (50)(a)
a = 2.84 m/s²

Given that,
Mass of object = 9.90 kg
Time =5.40 s
Suppose the force is (2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k) N, initial position is (2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k) m and final position is (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k) m.
We need to calculate the displacement
Using formula of displacement
Where, = initial position
= final position
Put the value into the formula
(a). We need to calculate the work done on the object
Using formula of work done

(c). We need to calculate the angle between vectors
Using formula of angle
Put the value into the formula
Hence, (a). The work done on the object by the force in the 5.40 s interval is 41.67 J.
(b). The average power due to the force during that interval is 7.71 Watt.
(c). The angle between vectors is 79.7°
For a standing wave on a string, the wavelength is equal to twice the length of the string:
In our problem, L=50.0 cm=0.50 m, therefore the wavelength of the wave is
And the speed of the wave is given by the product between the frequency and the wavelength of the wave:
