Use Newton's second law to determine the acceleration being applied to the sled. There are three forces at work on the sled (its weight, the force normal to the ground, and friction) but two of them cancel, leaving friction as the only effective force. This vector is pointed in the opposite direction of the sled's movement, so if we take the direction of its movement to be the positive axis, we would find the acceleration due to the friction to be

\vec F_G+\vec F_N+\vec F_F=m\vec a\iff-12\,\mathrm N=(20\,\mathrm{kg})a\implies a=-0.6\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

Now we use the formula

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a(x_f-x_i)

to find the distance it travels. The sled comes to a rest, so v_f=0, and let's take the starting position x_i=0 to be the origin. Then the distance traveled x_f-x_i=x_f is

-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2\left(-0.6\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)x_f\implies x_f\approx17\,\mathrm m

When a magnetic field is first turned on, the flux through a 20-turn loop varies with time according to Φm=5.0t2−2.0t, where Φm
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A) ( - 200t + 40 ) volts

B)  b) anticlockwise ,  c) anticlockwise , d) clockwise ,  e) clockwise

Explanation:

Given data:

magnetic flux (Φm) = 5.0t^2 − 2.0t

number of turns = 20

<u>a) determine induced emf </u>

E = - N \frac{d\beta }{dt}

  =  - N ( 10t - 2 ) = - 20 ( 10t - 2 )

  =  - 200t + 40  volts

<u>b) Determine direction of induced current </u>

i) at t = 0

 E = - 0 + 40  ( anticlockwise direction )

ii) at t = 0.10

E = -20 + 40 =  20 ( anticlockwise direction )

iii) at t = 1

E = - 200 + 40 = - 160 ( clockwise direction)

iv) at t = 2

E = -400 + 40 =  - 360 ( clockwise direction )

A solid, horizontal cylinder of mass 18.0 kg and radius 1.70.0 m rotates with an angular speed of 40 rad/s about a fixed vertica
Radda [10]

Answer:39.88 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of cylinder m_1=18 kg

radius R=1.7 m

angular speed \omega =40rad/s

mass of m_2=0.8 kg dropped at r=0.3 m from center

let \omega _2 be the final angular velocity of cylinder

Conserving Angular momentum

L_1=L_2

\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}\right )\omega =\left ( \frac{m_1R^2}{2}+m_2r^2\right )\omega _2

\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}\right )\cdot 40=\left ( \frac{18\cdot 1.7^2}{2}+0.8\cdot 0.3^2\right )\omega _2

26.01\times 40=26.082\times \omega _2

\omega _2=39.88 rad/s
