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.

Two wires A and B with circular cross-section are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A is
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁²   -------- equation 1

<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂²   -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>
