Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

Answer: a) Moment = 200N.m

b) F = 500N

Explanation: <u>Moment</u> or <u>Torque</u> is the tendency of a body to rotate because of an aplplied force. It can be calculated as

$\tau = F.r.sin\theta$

F is force applied

r is distance from the force to the point of rotation

θ is the angle formed between force and distance

a) Since F and r are perpendicular, θ=90°, sin90° = 1, so

$\tau=F.r$

$\tau=100(2)$

$\tau=$ 200

<u>Torque</u><u> caused by weight of the barrier at the pivot is </u><u>200N.m</u>

<u />

b) Counterweight has the same torque as pivot: $\tau=$ 200

So, to find Force necessary to balance the weight:

$\tau=F.r$

$F=\frac{\tau}{r}$

$F=\frac{200}{0.4}$

F = 500

<u>It is necessary </u><u>a force of 500N</u><u> from the counterweight to balance the weight.</u>

<u />

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.

Reika [66]

Answer:

$tan \theta = \mu_s$

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0$ (1)

where

$mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, $\theta$ the angle of the slope

$\mu_s R$ is the frictional force, with $\mu_s$ being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

$R-mg cos \theta = 0$

where

R is the normal reaction

$mg cos \theta$ is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0$

Re-arranging the equation,

$sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s$

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of $\mu_s$ , the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

A car of mass 1100kg moves at 24 m/s. What is the braking force needed to bring the car to a halt in 2.0 seconds? N

LenaWriter [7]

13200N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 1100kg

Velocity = 24m/s

time = 2s

unknown:

Braking force = ?

Solution:

The braking force is the force needed to stop the car from moving.

Force = ma = $\frac{mv}{t}$

m is the mass of the car

v is the velocity

t is the time taken

Force = $\frac{1100 x 24}{2}$ = 13200N
