The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

Please help on Problem 2.5 <br><br> I also need a short (or detailed) explanation. Thank you !!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Problem 2.5, mixing dough.

Please note dimensional units and standard formulas for energies.

Input:

Electrical energy = VIT = 110 V * 1.5 A * 5 min. * 60 s/min = 49500 joules = 49.5 kJ

Output:

Warming of dough = mCΔT = 1 kg  * 4.2 kJ/(kg*K) * 5 deg.K = 21 kJ

Dissipation of energy = remainder of input energy = (49.5-21) kJ = 28.5 kJ

Fraction of energy converted to energy of dough = 21 kJ / 49.5 kJ

= forty-two percent (to the nearest percent)

The last item, dissipation of energy could be attributed to:

1. Loss in efficiency of mixer in the form of mechanical friction, heating up due to resistance of motor circuit, etc.

2. Loss in mechanical mixing of dough due to friction between mixer paddle and dough in the form of heat, part of which stays with dough (thus heating up of dough), and the remainder heats up the dough container, loss of heat to environment, air, heat of vaporization of water content of dough, etc.

A bucket of water of mass 20 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 32 meters above the ground. This takes 8 minutes
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

W=-1881.6J

Explanation:

we have that the change in the mass is

\frac{dm}{dt}=-c\\m(0)=60kg\\m(8)=60kg-6kg=54kg

by solving the differential equation and applying the initial conditions we have

\int dm=-c\int dt\\m=-ct+d\\m(0)=-c(0) + d=60 \\m(8)=-8c+d=54

by solving for c and d

d=60

c=0.75

The work needed is

W = m(t) gh

by integrating we have

dW_T= gh\int dm \\\\W_T=gh\int_0^8 -0.75dt\\\\W_T=(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(32m)(-0.75(8))=-1881.6J

hope this helps!!
