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

Newton’s second law of motion addresses the relationship between what two variables that influence the force on a body?
Helen [10]

Answer:

A. Mass and acceleration

Explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
  • Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
  • <u>Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force.</u> A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
 Then, you must write the position vector:
 r = -3j + 4i + 3j
 Rewriting
 r = 4i
 To go back to where you started, you must go
 d = -4i
 That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
 Answer
 West, 4km.

Two forces F1 and F2 of equal magnitude are applied to a brick of mass 20kg lying on the floor as shown in the figure above. If
jeka57 [31]

Let F_{1}=F_{2}=F.

Normal force equals (using Newton's third law) N=mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}.

F_{f}\leq \mu N = \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}), but F_{f}\leq F(\cos30^o+\cos37^o) for all F_{f} (in order to start moving the break). Therefore F(\cos 30^o+\cos37^o)\geq \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}), solving for F: F\geq \frac{\mu mg}{\cos30^o+\cos37^o-\mu\sin30^o+\mu\sin37^o}\approx 46,91\; \textbf{N}

Why does the picture on a tv screen become distorted when a magnet is brought near the screen<br>​
NemiM [27]

When a magnet is brought close to the picture tube, the interaction between the flying electrons and the magnetic field creates a force that throws the electrons off course. Now the electrons are hitting the screen in places they were not intended to strike and the picture becomes distorted.

When a television receives a signal, it first splits off the audio (sound) signal and the picture signal from a carrier wave (which is used to allow the signal to be transmitted over long distances). The audio is sent straight to the speakers to produce sound. The picture signal consists of three elements, red, green and blue. A standard television has three 'electron guns' at the back of the set, one for each colour. Let's start by looking at the red signal. The red signal is fed into one of these 'guns'. The gun produces a beam of electrons that varies in intensity with the strength of the red signal. This beam is fired towards the tv screen. The electron beam starts at the top-left of the screen and magnetic fields are used to 'sweep' this beam across the screen in parallel horizontal lines (if you look closely at a tv screen you can see these lines). UK televisions (PAL) have 625 lines and update the picture 25 times per second, US televisions (NTSC) have 525 lines but update 30 times per second. The back of the tv screen is covered in phosphor 'dots' (pixels) which glow when they are struck by these electrons. The red-signal electron beam is aimed so that it strikes phosphor dots that glow red, emitting photons which the eye can detect. The same process occurs for green and blue; each colour signal goes to one particular electron gun which excites just the dots of that colour, the signal tells the gun how strong it should be which in turn means some dots glow brighter than others. When you sit back from the tv screen, you don't notice the dots nor the flicker, your eye blends the image together to give a clear picture which appears to move. Now to answer the question! A magnet distorts the picture as it distorts the path of electrons flowing from the electron gun towards the screen inside the tv. As electrons are negatively charged particles, their motion is distorted by a magnet. So it is these electrons, not photons, which are distorted by the magnet. On older tvs, damage caused by holding a magnet too close to a tv could be permanent; newer tvs tend to have a demagnetisation process when you switch them on, to ensure that the picture is not permanently distorted. ehehe..
