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

point) A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is
Sergio [31]

Answer:

(a) 86.65 J

(b) 149.65 J

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the pool, d = 12 m

⇒ Radius of the pool, r = 6 m

Height of the pool, H = 3 m

Depth of the pool, D = 2.5 m

Density of water, \rho_{w} = 1000\ kg//m^{3}

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8\ m/s^{2}

Now,

(a) Work done in pumping all the water:

Average height of the pool, h = \frac{H + D}{2}

h = \frac{3 + 2.5}{2} = 2.75\ m

Volume of water in the pool, V = \pi r^{2}h = \pi \times 6^{2}\times 2.75 = 311.02\ m^{3}

Mass of water, m_{w} = \frac{\rho_{w}}{V}

m_{w} = \frac{1000}{311.02} = 3.215\ kg

Work done is given by the potential energy of the water as:

W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 2.75 = 86.65\ J

(b) Work done to pump all the water through an outlet of 2 m:

Now,

Height, h = 2.75 + 2 = 4.75

Work done,W = m_{w}gh = 3.215\times 9.8\times 4.75 = 149.65\ J

The table below describes some features of methods used to generate electricity. What is method 3?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

dam/hydro power

Explanation:

estuary is the place where rivers meet the ocean, there are a lot of currents there (waves...) so it likely means thery use a dam or some sort of way of collecting electricity from the motion of the water there. many birds live in estuaries because of being able to find fish to feed from

What will one see during an annular eclipse?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse are the four different types of the eclipses. When the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, the annular eclipse occurs. The new moon is invisible from the earth and it is silhouetted against the sun, this can only be seen in annular eclipse. Annular word means ring shaped, we can see a dark ring of fire in annular eclipse. It has five different stages that are first contact, second contact, maximum eclipse, third contact and 4th contact.

A 4.0-kg object has 72 J of kinetic energy.<br> Determine its speed.
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

v = sqrt of 2KE/m

Where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass of a body

v = velocity of a body

= sqrt of 2(72)/4

= sqrt of 144/4

= sqrt of 36

= 6m/s
