A 2.4 kg box has an initial velocity of 3.6 m/s upward along a plane inclined at 27◦ to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinet

ic friction between the box and the plane is 0.12. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . How far up the incline does the box travel? Answer in units of m.

Answer:

d= 1.18 m

Explanation:

In abscense of  friction, total mechanical energy must be constant, i.e.,

ΔK + ΔU = 0

As we are told that there exists a kinetic friction between the box and the plane, we need to take into account the work done by the friction force in the equation, as follows:

ΔK + ΔU = Wnc (1)

If we take as our zero gravitational potential energy reference, the height at which the box is sent upward, we can write the following equations for the different terms in (1):

ΔK = Kf- K₀ = 0 - 1/2*m*v₀² = -1/2*2.4kg* (3.6)²(m/s)² = -15.6 J

ΔU = Uf - U₀ = m*g*h = *m*g*d*sin θ = 2.4 kg*9.81 m/s²*d*0.454 = 10.7*d J

Wnc = Ff. d* cos (180º) = μk*N*d*cos(180º) (2)

The friction force always opposes to the displacement, so the angle between force and displacement is 180º.

The normal force, as is always perpendicular to the surface, takes the value needed to equilibrate the component of the weight perpendicular to the incline, as follows:

N = m*g*cosθ =  2.4 kg*9.81 m/s²*cos 27º = 21 N

Replacing in (2):

Wnc = 0.12*21*cos (180º) = -2.52*d J

Replacing in (1):

-15.6 J + 10.7*d J = -2.52*d J

Solving for d:

d = 1.18 m

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m

One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 130.0 Ni'm is attached to a vertical wall. A 4.00-kg block sitting on the flo
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed by .80 m , restoring force by spring on block

= 130 x .80

= 104 N , acting away from wall

External force = 82 N , acting towards wall

Force of friction acting towards wall = μmg

= .4 x 4 x 9.8

= 15.68 N

Net force away from wall

= 104 -15.68 - 82

= 6.32 N

Acceleration

= 6.32 / 4

= 1.58 m / s²

It will be away from wall

Energy released by compressed spring = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 130 x .8²

= 41.6 J

Energy lost in friction

= μmg x  .8

= .4 x 4 x 9.8 x .8

= 12.544 J

Energy available to block

= 41.6 - 12.544 J

= 29 J

Kinetic energy of block = 29

1/2 x 4 x v² = 29

v = 3.8 m / s

This will b speed of block as soon as spring relaxes. (x = 0 )
