Answer:

To create an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor.

Explanation:

For current to flow, there must exist an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor. This PD is provided by the electromotive force stored within the battery. Unless there is a connection between the terminals no PD will exist between the terminals.

Answer:

1(a) 55.0°

1(b) 58.3°

2(a) 10.2 N

2(b) 2.61 m/s²

3(a) 76.7°

3(b) 12.8 m/s

3(c) 3.41 s

3(d) 21.8 m/s

3(e) 18.5 m

4(a) 7.35 m/s²

4(b) 31.3 m/s²

4(c) 12.8 m/s²

Explanation:

1) Draw a free body diagram on the beam.  There are five forces:

Weight force mg pulling down at the center of the beam,

Normal force Na pushing up at point A,

Friction force Na μa pushing left at point A,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline at point B,

Friction force Nb μb pushing up the incline at point B.

There are 3 unknown variables: Na, Nb, and θ.  So we're going to need 3 equations.

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-Na μa + Nb sin φ − Nb μb cos φ = 0

Nb (sin φ − μb cos φ) = Na μa

Nb / Na = μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Na + Nb cos φ + Nb μb sin φ − mg = 0

Na = mg − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Sum of torques about point B:

∑τ = Iα

-mg (L/2) cos θ + Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ = 0

mg (L/2) cos θ = Na L cos θ − Na μa L sin θ

mg cos θ = 2 Na cos θ − 2 Na μa sin θ

mg = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ

Substitute:

Na = 2 Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

0 = Na − 2 Na μa tan θ − Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Na (1 − 2 μa tan θ) = Nb (cos φ + μb sin φ)

1 − 2 μa tan θ = (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

2 μa tan θ = 1 − (Nb / Na) (cos φ + μb sin φ)

Substitute again:

2 μa tan θ = 1 − [μa / (sin φ − μb cos φ)] (cos φ + μb sin φ)

tan θ = 1/(2 μa) − (cos φ + μb sin φ) / (2 sin φ − 2 μb cos φ)

a) If φ = 70°, then θ = 55.0°.

b) If φ = 90°, then θ = 58.3°.

2) Draw a free body diagram of each mass.  For each mass, there are four forces.  For mass A:

Weight force Ma g pulling down,

Normal force Na pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Na μa pushing parallel down the incline,

Tension force T pulling parallel up the incline.

For mass B:

Weight force Mb g pulling down,

Normal force Nb pushing perpendicular to the incline,

Friction force Nb μb pushing parallel up the incline,

Tension force T pulling up the incline.

There are four unknown variables: Na, Nb, T, and a.  So we'll need four equations.

Sum of forces on A in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Na − Ma g cos θ = 0

Na = Ma g cos θ

Sum of forces on A up the incline:

∑F = ma

T − Na μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

T − Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ = Ma a

Sum of forces on B in the perpendicular direction:

∑F = ma

Nb − Mb g cos φ = 0

Nb = Mb g cos φ

Sum of forces on B down the incline:

∑F = ma

-T − Nb μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

-T − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Mb a

Add together to eliminate T:

-Ma g cos θ μa − Ma g sin θ − Mb g cos φ μb + Mb g sin φ = Ma a + Mb a

g (-Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) − Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) = (Ma + Mb) a

a = -g (Ma (cos θ μa + sin θ) + Mb (cos φ μb − sin φ)) / (Ma + Mb)

a = 2.61 m/s²

Plug into either equation to find T.

T = 10.2 N

3i) Given:

Δx = 3.7 m

vᵧ = 0 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

t = 1.25 s

Find: v₀ₓ, v₀ᵧ

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

3.7 m = v₀ₓ (1.25 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.25 s)²

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (1.25 s) + v₀ᵧ

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

a) tan θ = v₀ᵧ / v₀ₓ

θ = 76.7°

b) v₀² = v₀ₓ² + v₀ᵧ²

v₀ = 12.8 m/s

3ii) Given:

Δx = D cos 57°

Δy = -D sin 57°

v₀ₓ = 2.96 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 12.5 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -10 m/s²

c) Find t

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

D cos 57° = (2.96 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

D cos 57° = 2.96t

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

-D sin 57° = (12.5 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

-D sin 57° = 12.5t − 5t²

Divide:

-tan 57° = (12.5t − 5t²) / 2.96t

-4.558t = 12.5t − 5t²

0 = 17.058t  − 5t²

t = 3.41 s

d) Find v

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 2.96 m/s

vₓ = 2.96 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (-10 m/s²) (3.41 s) + 12.5 m/s

vᵧ = -21.6 m/s

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 21.8 m/s

e) Find D.

D cos 57° = 2.96t

D = 18.5 m

4) Given:

R = 90 m

d = 140 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 0.7t m/s²

The distance to the opposite side of the curve is:

140 m + (90 m) (π/2) = 281 m

a) Find Δx and v if t = 10.5 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (10.5)²

vt = 38.6 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (10.5)³

Δx = 135 m

The car has not yet reached the curve, so the acceleration is purely tangential.

at = 0.7 (10.5)

at = 7.35 m/s²

b) Find Δx and v if t = 12.2 s.

at = 0.7t

Integrate:

vt = 0.35t² + v₀

vt = 0.35 (12.2)²

vt = 52.1 m/s

Integrate again:

Δx = 0.1167 t³ + v₀ t + x₀

Δx = 0.1167 (12.2)³

Δx = 212 m

The car is in the curve, so it has both tangential and centripetal accelerations.

at = 0.7 (12.2)

at = 8.54 m/s²

ac = v² / r

ac = (52.1 m/s)² / (90 m)

ac = 30.2 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 31.3 m/s²

c) Given:

Δx = 187 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

at = 3 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3 m/s²) (187 m)

v = 33.5 m/s

ac = v² / r

ac = (33.5 m/s)² / 90 m

ac = 12.5 m/s²

a² = at² + ac²

a = 12.8 m/s²

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law spring varies from 0 N to 63.5 N as we stretch the spring by moving one end 5.31 cm
Alika [10]

Answer:

Force constant will be 1195.85 N/m

Work done will be 1.6859 J

Explanation:

We have given the force,  F = 63.5 N

Spring is stretched by 5.31 cm

So x = 0.0531 m

Force is given , F = 63.5 N

We know that force is given by F=kx

So 63.5=k\times 0.0531

k = 1195.85 N/m

Now we have to find the work done

We know that work done is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1195.85\times 0.0531^2=1.6859J

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.
Tcecarenko [31]
The energy of a photon is given by
E=hf
where
h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is 
f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J
