One block rests upon a horizontal surface. A second identical block rests upon the first one. The coefficient of static friction

between the blocks is the same as the coefficient of static friction between the lower block and the horizontal surface. A horizontal force is applied to the upper block, and its magnitude is slowly increased. When the force reaches 41.6 N, the upper block just begins to slide. The force is then removed from the upper block, and the blocks are returned to their original configuration. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that should be applied to the lower block, so that it just begins to slide out from under the upper block?

Answer:

The magnitud of the force is 124.8N.

Explanation:

First we have to find the value of the static friction coefficient, when the external force F is applied to upper block (i will call it A Block) we have a free body diagram as the one shown in the figure i attached, so since this block has no aceleration in any direction the force F should be equal to the friction force between A and B block, one we noticed this we can use the equation for the Friction force to find the coefficient:

0=F-FrictionAB

F=FrictionAB=Nab*μs

and again, since the block has no acceleration the normal between A and B block should be equal to the weigth of the first block, so we have:

0=Nab-W

Nab=W=mg

replacing this we have:

F=μs*Nab=μs*mg=41.6N

and  μs=41.6N/(mg)

now it's time to see the free body diagram for the b block, if we now apply the F force to the B block the diagram should look like in the figure.

the color of the arrow gives you an idea of where the force comes from, the blue ones comes from the B block, the red ones from the A block and the brown ones from the ground.

now for the B block you can see two friction forces, one for the ground and one for the A block, both of these directed bacwards, and two normal forces, again one for the ground and one for the A block but the normal force for the A block is aiming downwards.

again we use the fact that the block is not accelerating in any direction so the sum of the forces in x and y direction have to be 0, so:

F-Friction1(ground)-Friction2(AB)=0

This is the new external F force that we are looking for:

F=Friction1(ground)+Friction2(AB)

we know Friction2(AB) because we found that in the previous block so:

F=Friction1(ground)+mg*μs

for the other friction we have to use the equation:

Friction(ground)=N(ground)*μs

from y axis we have:

N(ground)-w-Normal(AB)=0

N(ground)=w+Normal(AB)

we found the value of Normal(AB) with the previous block so:

N(ground)=mg+mg=2mg

and:

Friction(ground)=2mg*μs

F=Friction(ground)+mg*μs

F=2mg*μs+μs*mg=3mg*μs

and since: μs*mg=41.6N

the new F force would be:

F=3mg*μs=41.6*3=124.8N

Calculate the Latent Heat of Vaporization. (Please see picture attached)
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

20 J/g

Explanation:

In this question, we are required to determine the latent heat of vaporization

  • To answer the question, we need to ask ourselves the questions:

What is latent heat of vaporization?

  • It is the amount of heat required to change a substance from its liquid state to gaseous state without change in temperature.
  • It is the amount of heat absorbed by a substance as it boils.

How do we calculate the latent heat of vaporization?

  • Latent heat is calculated by dividing the amount of heat absorbed by the mass of the substance.

In this case;

  • Mass of the substance = 20 g
  • Heat absorbed as the substance boils is 400 J (1000 J - 600 J)

Thus,

Latent heat of vaporization = Quantity of Heat ÷ Mass

                                             = 400 Joules ÷ 20 g

                                             = 20 J/g

Thus, the latent heat of vaporization is 20 J/g

Four pairs of objects have the masses as described below, along with the distances between
lord [1]

Answer:

<h2>Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, 1 meters apart.</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational force is defined as

F=G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }

By definition, the gravitational force depends directly on the product of the masses and indirectly on the distance between the masses, which means the further they are, the less gravitational force would be. And, the greater the masses, the greater the gravitational force.

Among the options, the pair that would have the greatest gravitational force is  Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, with 1 meter between them.

Notice that the last choice includes the same masses but with a greater distance between them, that means it would be a weaker graviational force.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

The speed after being pulled is 2.4123m/s

Explanation:

The work realize by the tension and the friction is equal to the change in the kinetic energy, so:

W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i (1)

Where:

W_T=T*x*cos(0)=32N*3.2m*cos(30)=88.6810J\\W_F=F_r*x*cos(180)=-0.190*mg*x =-0.190*10kg*9.8m/s^{2}*3.2m=59.584J\\ K_i=0\\K_f=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_f^{2}=5v_f^{2}

Because the work made by any force is equal to the multiplication of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Additionally, the kinetic energy is equal to \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}, so if the initial velocity v_i is equal to zero, the initial kinetic energy K_i is equal to zero.

Then, replacing the values on the equation and solving for v_f, we get:

W_T+W_F=K_f-K_i\\88.6810-59.5840=5v_f^{2}\\29.097=5v_f^{2}

\frac{29.097}{5}=v_f^{2}\\\sqrt{5.8194}=v_f\\2.4123=v_f

So, the speed after being pulled 3.2m is 2.4123 m/s
