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

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) the particles are <em>0.217 m </em>apart

b) <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

    = -0.155 A + 0.372 A

    = 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

<em>Δx  = 0.217 m</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

   = -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

   = -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 21.0 m below the surface. calculate the force (in n) needed to
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

28,400 N

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

p_{top} = p_{atm} + \rho g h=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(21.0 m)=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

p_{bot}=p_{atm}=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

p=p_{top}-p_{bot}=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa - 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa=2.058 \cdot 10^5 Pa

which acts from above.

The area of the hatch is given by:

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{0.420 m}{2})^2=0.138 m^2

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

F=pA=(2.058\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.138 m^2)=28,400 N

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

\theta = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}

|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}

|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units

10. A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless. The puck’s velocity is 20 m/s when
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Explanation:

For this case  we can use the second law of Newton given by:

\sum F = ma

The friction force on this case is defined as :

F_f = \mu_k N = \mu_k mg

Where N represent the normal force, \mu_k the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.

For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

F_f = ma

Replacing the friction force we got:

\mu_k mg = ma

We can cancel the mass and we have:

a = \mu_k g = 0.35 *9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 3.43 \frac{m}{s^2}

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

v^2_f = v^2_i - 2ad

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Describe a life cycle of a star
vagabundo [1.1K]
Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Is this what you needed?
