In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

e package has an initial speed of 2.00 m/s at the top of the incline, and it slides a distance of 12.0 m.
What must the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the inclined plane be so that the package reaches the bottom with no speed?

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, \theta=20.0°

Mass of package is, m=2.50\ kg

Initial speed of package is, u=2.00\ m/s

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, v=0\ m/s

Distance of travel along the incline is, d=12.0\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be \mu.

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)

Solving for 'a', we get:

-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6} ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for \mu. This gives,

9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Explanation:

data given

properties of air\nu\ of air =19.31*10^{-6} m2/s

\rho = 1.048 kg/m3

k = 0.0288 W/m.K

WE KNOW THAT

Reynold's number is given as

Re =\frac{VD}{\nu}

      = \frac{ 15*0.025}{19.31*10^{-6}}

      = 1.941 *10^4

drag coffecient is given as

C_D = \frac{f_D}{A_f\frac{\rho v^2}{2}}

solving for f_D

f_D = C_D A_f*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

     =C_D D*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

Drag coffecient for smooth circular cylinder is 1.1

therefore Drag force is

f_D = 1.1*0.025 *\frac{1.048*15^2}{2}

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Write a hypothesis about the effects of magnetic and electric fields. Use the format of "if . . . then . . . because . . ." and
steposvetlana [31]

If the charged particle moves in the magnetic field or electric field, then it experiences  magnetic force or electric force because of its magnetic or electric properties.

<h3>What is magnetic field?</h3>

The magnetic field is the region of space where a charged object experiences magnetic force when it is moving.

When a charged particle such as an electron or proton moves inside a conductor, magnetic lines of force rotate around the particle. This relative motion causes the magnetic field to generate.

Thus, If the charged particle moves in the magnetic field or electric field, then it experiences  magnetic force or electric force because of its magnetic or electric properties.
