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

nt "break loose" and start to accelerate down the board.
The box begins to slide once the component of gravity acting parallel to the boardequals the force of static friction. Which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board?

The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, butF_gremains the same.
Once the box is moving,F_gis smaller than the force of static friction but larger than the force of kinetic friction.
Once the box is moving,F_gis larger than the force of static friction.
When the box is stationary,F_gequals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.

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.

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

68.5 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 3.74 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0) (3.74) + ½ (9.8) (3.74)²

Δy = 68.5

The egg fell 68.5 meters.

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is t=0.00129 s

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

m=mass\ of\ ball

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum P_i=m\times u

Final momentum P_f=m\times v

Change in momentum \Delta P=P_i-P_f

Impulse    J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P

J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)

F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N

If a bow holds 500J of potential energy as the arrow is pulled back, how much kinetic energy will the arrow have after it has be
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

500J

Explanation:

The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
  • This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
  • This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
