A 4 kg textbook sits on a desk. It is pushed horizontally with a 50 N applied force against a 15 N frictional force.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

b) No acceleration in the vertical

c) 35N

d) 35N

e) $8.75\ m/sec^2$

Explanation:

a) The situation can be shown in the free body diagram shown in the figure below where F is the applied force, Fr is the friction force, W is the weight of the book and N is the normal force exerted vertically up from the desk to the book

b) The vertical movement is restrained by the normal force which opposes to the weight. In absence of any other force, they both are in equilibrium and the net force is zero

c) The net horizontal force acting on the book is the vectorial sum of the applied force and the friction force. Since they lie in the same axis and are opposed to each other:

$Fh_{net}=F-F_r=50 N - 15N=35N$

d) The net force acting on the book is the vector sum of all forces in all axes. The normal and the weight cancel each other in the y-axis, so our resulting force is the x-axis net force, computed as above:

$F_n=35N$ in the x-axis

e) Following Newton's second law, the acceleration is calculated as

$a=\frac{F_t}{m}=\frac{35N}{4Kg}=8.75m/sec^2$

Long Jump: inital center of mass height of 1.08 m, final center of mass height of 0.42 m, projection velocity of 8.7 m/s, projec

sammy [17]

Answer:

1) The maximum jump height is reached at A. $0.337s$

2) The maximum center of mass height off of the ground is B. $1.64m$

3) The time of flight is C. $0.834s$

4) The distance of jump is B. $7.49m$

Explanation:

First of all we need to decompose velocity in its rectangular components, so

$v_{xi}=8.7m/s(cos 22.3\°)=8.05m/s= constant\\v_{yi}=8.7m/s(sin 22.3\°)=3.3m/s$

1) We use, $v_{fy}=v_{iy}-gt$ , as we clear it for $t$ and using the fact that $v_{fy}=0$ at max height, we obtain $t=\frac{v_{iy}}{g} =\frac{3.3m/s}{9,8m/s^{2}} =0.337s$

2) We can use the formula $y_{max}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ for $t=0.337s$ , so

$y_{max}=1.08m+(3.3m/s)(0.337s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(0.337)^{2}}{2}=1.64m$

3) We can use the formula $y_{f}=y_{i}+v_{iy}t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ , to find total time of fligth, so $0.42=1.08+3.3t-\frac{(9.8)t^{2}}{2}\\0=-4.9t^{2}+3.3t+0.66$ , as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is $t=0.834s$

4) Finally, we use $x=v_{x}t=8.05m/s(0.834s)=6.71m$ , as it has an additional displacement of $0.77m$ due the leg extension we obtain,

$x=6.71m+0.77m=7.48m$ , aprox $x=7.49m$

how much energy would microraptor gui have to expend to fly with a speed of 10 m/sm/s for 1.0 minute?

Ray Of Light [21]

Much energy as would Microraptor gui have to expend to fly with a speed of 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes is 486 J.

The first step is to find the energy that Microraptor must release to fly at 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes. The energy that Microraptor must expend to fly can be found using the relationship between Power and Energy.

P = E/t

Where:

P = power (W)

T = time (s)

Now, a minimum of 8.1 W is required to fly at 10 m/s. So, the energy expended in 1 minute (60 seconds) is

P = E/t

E = P x t

E = 8.1 x 60

E = 486 Joules

Thus, the energy that Microraptor must expend to fly at 10 m/s for 1.0 minutes is the 486 J.

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each

Nataly [62]

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example: a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example: a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.
