A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction
between the hockey puck and the metal ramp are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30, respectively. The puck's initial speed is 26 m/s. What vertical height does the puck reach above its starting point?
1 answer:
Answer:
71.76 m
Explanation:
We will solve this question using the work energy theorem.
The theorem explains that, the change in kinetic energy of a particle between two points is equal to the workdone in moving the particle from the one point to the other.
ΔK.E = W
In the attached free body diagram for the question, the forces acting on the puck are given.
ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy) - (initial kinetic energy)
Final kinetic energy = 0 J (since the puck comes to a stop)
Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(0.2)(26²) = 67.6 J
ΔK.E = 0 - 67.6 = - 67.6 J
W = Workdone between the starting and stopping points = (work done by the force of gravity) + (work done by frictional force)
Work done by the force of gravity = - mgh = - (0.2)(9.8)(h) = - 1.96 h
Workdone by the frictional force = F × d
F = μ N
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.30 (kinetic frictional force is the only frictional force that moves a distance of d, the static frictional force doesn't move any distance, so it does no work)
N = normal reaction of the plane surface on the puck = mg cos 30° = (0.2)(9.8)(0.866) = 1.697 N
F = μ N = 0.3 × 1.697 = 0.509 N
where d = distance along the incline that the puck travels.
d = h/sin 30° = 2h (from trigonometric relations)
Workdone by the frictional force = F × d = 0.509 × 2h = 1.02 h
ΔK.E = W = (work done by the force of gravity) + (work done by frictional force)
- 67.6 = - 1.96h + 1.02h
-0.942h = - 67.6
h = 71.76 m

Answer:
(a) B = 2.85 × Tesla
(b) I = I = 0.285 A
Explanation:
a. The strength of magnetic field, B, in a solenoid is determined by;
r =
⇒ B =
Where: r is the radius, m is the mass of the electron, v is its velocity, q is the charge on the electron and B is the magnetic field
B =
=
B = 2.85 × Tesla
b. Given that; N/L = 25 turns per centimetre, then the current, I, can be determined by;
B = μ I N/L
⇒ I = B ÷ μN/L
where B is the magnetic field, μ is the permeability of free space = 4.0 ×Tm/A, N/L is the number of turns per length.
I = B ÷ μN/L
=
I = 0.285 A
While walking to work in Boston shortly after sunrise you notice that the water level in the bay is exceptionally low. Based on this very low low-tide and the dark cloudless sky last night, the current phase of the moon is a waxing crescent. Among the 8 phases of the Moon, the waxing crescent follows the new-moon phase.
The phases of Moon happen because of the presence of moon's orbit between the Earth and the Sun. The surface of the Moon reflects sunlight and this light reaches the Earth at different angles depending on the location of the Moon in its orbit. This gives us the impression of a waxing and a waning Moon.
