A 20-kg wagon accelerates on a horizontal surface at 0.50 m⁄s2 when pulled by a rope exerting a 120-N force on the wagon at an a

ngle of 25° above the horizontal. Determine the magnitude of the effective friction force exerted on the wagon and the effective coefficient of friction associated with this force.

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

mass of wagon = 20 Kg

horizontal acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

force of pull = 120 N

angle with horizontal = 25°

Applying newtons second law

F cos θ - f = m a

f = F cos θ- ma

f = 120 cos 25° - 20 x 0.5

f = 99 N

we know,

f = μ N

μ = $\dfrac{f}{N}$

μ = $\dfrac{99}{mg - Fsin \theta}$

μ = $\dfrac{99}{20\times 9.8 - 120 sin 25^0}$

μ = 0.68

Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is F = GmM r2

Nookie1986 [14]

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>(a) </h2>

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the Gravity Force is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}$ (1)

This expression can also be written as:

$F=GMm{r}^{-2}$ (2)

If we derive this force $F$ respect to the distance $r$ between the two masses:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=\frac{d}{dr}(GMm{r}^{-2})dr$ (3)

Taking into account $GMm$ are constants:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2GMm{r}^{-3}$ (4)

Or

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

<h2> (b) dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. </h2><h2 />

In other words, this means how much does the Gravity Force changes with the distance between the two bodies.

More precisely this change is inversely proportional to the distance elevated to the cubic exponent.

As the distance increases, the Force decreases.

<h2>(c) The minus sign indicates that the bodies are being forced in the negative direction. </h2>

This is because Gravity is an attractive force, as well as, a central conservative force.

This means it does not depend on time, and both bodies are mutually attracted to each other.

<h2>(d) </h2>

In the first answer we already found the decrease rate of the Gravity force respect to the distance, being its unit $N/km$ :

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

We have a force that decreases with a rate 1 $\frac{dF_{1}}{dr}dFdr=4N/km$ when $r=20000km$ :

$4N/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(20000km)}^{3}}$ (6)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})$ (7)

In addition, we have another force that decreases with a rate 2 $\frac{dF_{2}}{dr}dFdr=X$ when $r=10000km$ :

$XN/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$ (8)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=X({(10000km)}^{3})$ (9)

Making (7)=(9):

$(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})=X({(10000km)}^{3}$ (10)

Then isolating $X$ :

$X=\frac{4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3}}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$

Solving and taking into account the units, we finally have:

$X=-32N/km$ >>>>This is how fast this force changes when $r=10000 km$

A solid cylinder is mounted above the ground with its axis of rotation oriented horizontally. A rope is wound around the cylinde

Romashka [77]

Answer:

(a)10.5 rad/s2

(b) 20.9 rev

(c) 47.27 m

Explanation:

As the block of mass 53 kg is falling and pulling on the rope. The tension force on the rope must be equal to the gravity acting on the block according to Newton's 3rd law

T = mg = 53*9.81 = 519.93 N

Since this tension force would rotate the cylinder freely without any friction. The torque created by this tension force is

To = TR = 519.93 * 0.36 = 187.17 Nm

This solid cylinder would have a moment of inertia around it's rotating axis of:

$I = \frac{mR^2}{2} = \frac{275 * 0.36^2}{2} = 17.82kgm^2$

(a)We can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the angular acceleration exerted by such torque on the solid cylinder

$\alpha = \frac{To}{I} = \frac{187.17}{17.82} = 10.5 rad/s^2$

(b) With such constant angular acceleration, the angle it would make after 5s is

$\theta = \frac{\alphat^2}{2} = \frac{10.5*5^2}{2} = 131.3 rad$

Since each revolution equals to $2\pi rad$ of angle, we can calculate the number of revolution it makes

$\frac{\theta}{2\pi} = \frac{131.3}{6.28} \approx 20.9 rev$

(c) Assume the thickness of the rope is negligible (and its wounded radius is unchanging), we can calculate the rope length unwinded after rotating 131.3rad

$\theta R = 131.3*0.36 = 47.27 m$

Why are nonmetals more likely to react with eachother by sharing electrons

RideAnS [48]

The answer is; non-metals have a high ionization energy

This means that it would take more energy to dislodge an electron from the valence orbital than it would take to do the same to a metal atom. Therefore it would be easier to share electrons for non-metals while it would be easier to lose an electron for metals to reach a stable electron configuration.

A man driving a car is exactly 5000 meters due west from the line marking the eastern time zone. He

laiz [17]

The eastern time zone would the opposite side of the angle made by his car. So this means he would be traveling 30cos30 m/s completely in the east direction. Or approximately 26 m/s in the East direction. 5000 m divided by this answer results in approximately 192 seconds. I would use a calculator to get a more exact answer
