Holly puts a box into the trunk of her car. Later, she drives around an unbanked curve that has a radius of 48 m. The speed of t

he car on the curve is 16 m/s, but the box remains stationary relative to the floor of the trunk. Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction for the box on the floor of the trunk.

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the curve, R = 48 m

Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s

To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:

The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

f_{s} = \mu_{s}mg

where

\mu_{s} = coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:

F_{net} = f_{s} - F_{c}  

0 = f_{s} - F_{c}  

\mu_{s}mg = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{gR}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{16^{2}}{9.8\times 48} = 0.544

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For point a:

T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\\\\k = \frac{4 \pi^2 m}{T^2}\\\\= \frac{4 \times (3.14)^2 \times 3}{2^2}\\\\=29.578 \ \frac{N}{m}\\\\

For Point b:

E=\frac{1}{2} m a^2 w^2\\\\

   =\frac{1}{2} \times m \times a^2 \times \frac{4\pi^2}{T^2}\\\\=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times (0.15)^2 \times \frac{4\times 3.14^2}{2^2}\\\\=0.332 \ J

For Point C:

V_{max}= a w

        = (0.15) \times \frac{2\pi}{T}\\\\= (0.15) \times \frac{2\times 3.14}{2}\\\\=0.471 \frac{m}{s}

For point D:

X= a \sin (wt+ \phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\pi}{T} \times t+\phi)\\\\0.91=0.15 \sin(\frac{2\times 3.14}{2} \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(3.14 \times 0.5+\phi)\\\\0.60 = \sin(1.57+\phi)\\\\1.57 +\phi =\sin^{-1} 60^{\circ}\\\\1.57 +\phi = 36.86^{\circ}\\\\=35.29^{\circ}\\\\So, X=15 \sin(3.14t+35.29^{\circ}) \ cm

Question 1 of 10
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

C. 5.6 × 10^11 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field E at a distance R from a charge Q is given by

E = k\dfrac{Q}{R^2}

where k = 9*10^9Nm/C is the coulomb's constant.

Now, in our case

R = 0.0075m

Q = 0.0035C;

therefore,

E = (9*10^9)\dfrac{0.0035C}{(0.0075m)^2}

\boxed{E = 5.6*10^{11}N/C.}

which is choice C from the options given<em> (at least it resembles it).</em>

How are the concepts of impulse and momentum related?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ... The collision would change the halfback's speed and thus his momentum.

How much work does gravity do on the compressor during this displacement?
gayaneshka [121]

Explanation and Examples

let the mass of the compressor be

mass (m):

height in x axis is (h1)

height in y axis be (h2):

Height difference: h2-h1

displacement x force:

mass x gravity x height

(m)*9.8*(height difference) = ___ J

Since gravity is forcing down, it would be negative!

Put the values that you require and get the answer.

How is volume and temperature related?
ololo11 [35]

Charles' Law: The Temperature-Volume Law. This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. As the volume goes up, the temperature also goes up, and vice-versa.
