Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

Answer:

We only need the angle of inclination.

The coefficient of friction is 0.58

Explanation:

Check attachment for diagram

For a book placed on an inclined plane, the force acting on the object causing it to slide downwards is the moving Force (Fm).

Fm = Wsin(theta) = mgsin(theta)

The force opposing the moving force is the frictional force Ff

Ff = nR where

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction = mgcos(theta)

For the body to have a constant velocity (not accelerate), then Fm =Ff and W = R

n = Ff/R

n = Fm/R

n = Wsintheta/Wcostheta

n = sintheta/costheta

n = tan(theta)

Given theta = 30°

n = tan 30°

n = 0.58

the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.58

The calculation shows that the only information we need to get the coefficient of friction is the angle is inclination

A block of mass 1.5 hangs at the of end of a weight cord suspended from the ceiling.what is the tension in the cord, and with wh
Len [333]

The tension in the cord is 14.7 N and the force of pull of the cord is 14.7 N, assuming the block is stationary.

<h3>What is the tension in the cord?</h3>

The tension in the cord is calculated as follows;

T = ma + mg

where;

  • a is the acceleration of the block
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • m is mass of the block

T = m(a + g)

T = 1.5(a + 9.8)

T = 1.5a + 14.7

Thus, the tension in the cord is (1.5a + 14.7) N.

If the block is at rest, the tension is 14.7 N.

<h3>Force of the force</h3>

The force with which the cord pulls is equal to the tension in the cord

F = T = m(a + g)

F = (1.5a + 14.7) N

If the block is stationary, a = 0, the tension and force of pull of the cord = 14.7 N.

Thus, the tension in the cord is 14.7 N and the force of pull of the cord is 14.7 N, assuming the block is stationary.

What is the answer to this definition ?
Paul [167]

Newton's 2nd law of motion is:    <em>Force</em> = (mass) x (acceleration) .

Ugo [173]
The correct answer is electromagnetic. Lights travel as an electromagnetic wave. In fact, light is an electromagnetic radiation which has a center of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is visible to the naked eye, and is responsible for an organism's sense of sight.
