A block of mass m=16.8 kg is sliding on a surface with initial velocity v=23.2 m/s. The block has a coefficient of kinetic frict

ion μk =0.426 with respect to the surface and is being pushed by a force of magnitude F=86.4 N in the direction of its motion. Due to kinetic friction, the block is slowing down. How long will it take for the block to come to a stop?

Answer:

t = 23.92 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction, downward

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the floor, upward

fk : Kinetic friction force: parallel to the floor and opposite to the movement

F = 86.4 N , in the direction of the motion

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W= 16.8 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 164.64 N

Calculated of the FN

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0

FN - W = 0

FN = W

FN = 164.64 N

Calculated of the fk

fk = μk*FN

fk = 0.426* 164.64 N

fk = 70.13 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax , ax= a : acceleration of the block

F - fk = m*a

86.4 -70.13 = (16.8)*(-a)

16.26 = (16.8)*(-a)

a = -(16.26 )/ (16.8)

a = - 0.97 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf = v₀ + a*t Formula (2)

Where:

t: time interval (m)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

vf: final speed (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 23.2 m/s

vf = 0

a = -0.97 m/s²

Time it takes for the block to stop

We replace data in the formula (2) to calculate the time

vf= v₀+a*t

0 = 23.2+( -0.97)*t

(0.97)*t = 23.2

(0.97)*t = 23.2

t = 23.2 / (0.97)

t = 23.92 s

Example: What power of spectacle lens is needed to correct the vision of a nearsighted person

Aleksandr [31]

<h3>Concave or diverging lens is needed correct the vision of a nearsighted person whose far point is 30.0 cm</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Nearsighted person will not be able to see the distant objects clearly

Now, we want the near sighted person to see the distant objects clearly

<em><u>The lens equation is given as:</u></em>

$P = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}$

For distant vision, $d_0 = \infty$

$d_i = image\ distance\\\\d_0 = lens\ to\ retina\ distance$

The image of 30 cm from eye will be 28.5 cm to left of spectacle lens

Therefore,

$d_i = -28.5\ cm = 0.285\ meter$

From lens equation,

$P = \frac{1}{ \infty } + \frac{1}{-0.285\ meter}\\\\P = 0 - 3.51 \\\\P = -3.51\ diopter$

The negative power -3.51 D denotes that a concave or diverging lens is needed

An oil layer that is 5.0 cm thick is spread smoothly and evenly over the surface of water on a windless day. A light ray from th

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness = 5.0 cm

Index of refraction for oil = 1.15

Index of refraction for water = 1.33

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the angle of refraction

When the ray of light enters from air to oil

Using formula of refraction

$n_{a}\sin\theta_{a}=n_{o}\sin\theta_{o}$

Where, $n_{a}$ = refractive index of air

$n_{0}$ = refractive index of oil

Put the value into the formula

$1\times\sin45=1.15\sin\theta_{o}$

$\sin\theta_{o}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}\times1.15}$

$\sin\theta_{o}=0.6148$

$\theta_{o}=sin^{-1}0.6149$

$\theta_{o}=37.94^{\circ}$

When the ray of light enters from oil to water

Using formula of refraction

$n_{0}\sin\theta_{0}=n_{w}\sin\theta_{w}$

Where, $n_{w}$ = refractive index of water

$1.15\times\sin37.94^{\circ}=1.33\sin\theta_{w}$

$\sin\theta_{w}=\dfrac{1.15\sin37.94^{\circ}}{1.33}$

$\theta_{w}=\sin^{-1}0.53163$

$\theta_{w}=32.12^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

A person weighing 0.9 kN rides in an elevator that has a downward acceleration of 1.9 m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN

Explanation:

The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:

(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]

in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:

$F = m\cdot(g-a)$

We are given the person's weight at rest, 0.9kN, from which the mass can be determined as:

$900 N = m\cdot g \implies m = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}$

So

$F = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}\cdot(9.8-1.9)\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 725.5N=0.7255kN$
