A 20.0 kg crate sits at rest at the bottom of a 15.0-m-long ramp that is inclined at 34.0° above horizontal. A constant horizont

al force of 290 N is applied to the crate to push it up the ramp. While the crate is moving, the ramp exerts a constant frictional force on it that has magnitude 65.0 N.
(A) Is the total work done on the crate during its motion from the bottom to the top of the ramp?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
(B) How much time does it take the crate to travel to the top of the ramp?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

987 joules, 3.01s

Explanation:

(A)

from the attached diagram

net force, Fnet, pulling the crate up the ramp is given by

Fnet = FcosФ - WsinФ - Fr

where FcosФ is the component of horizontal force 290N resolved parallel to the plane

WsinФ = mgsinФ = component of the weight of the crate resolved parallel to the plane

Fr = constant opposing frictional force

Fnet = 290cos34⁰ - 20 × 9.8 × sin34° - 65

Fnet = 240.421 - 109.602 - 65

Fnet = 65.82N

Work done on the crate up the ramp, W, is given by

W = Fnet × d (distance up the plane)

W = 65.819 × 15

W = 987.285 joules

W = 987 joules (to 3 significant Figures)

(B)

to calculate the time of travel up the ramp

we use the equation of motion

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where s = distance up the plane, 15m

u = Initial velocity of the crate, which is 0 for a body that is initially at rest

a = acceleration up the plane, given by

a = \frac{Fnet}{m}

where m = mass of the crate, 20 kg

now, a = \frac{65.819}{20} \\a = 3.291\frac{m^{2} }{s}

from, s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

15 = 0*t + \frac{1}{2}* 3.291 * t^{2}

15 = 0 + 1.645t^{2}

15 = 1.645t^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{15}{1.645} }

t = 3.019

t = 3.01s (to 3 sig fig)

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

cone geyser

Explanation:

The Old Faithful geyser is the oldest discovered geyser in the Yellowstone national park. The eruptions of the geyser are particularly predictable. It is a cone type geyser.

Cone geysers generally have a spout through which the water ejects out. When super heated water in the tube then the water starts to boil and form bubbles of steam, after this process the eruption takes place.

A spring-mass system has a spring constant k = 383 N/m, length of the spring L = 0.5 m, and the mass attached to it is M = 3.8 k
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Frequency = f = 10.0394 (1/s)

Explanation:

The frequency of oscillation of the system is given by the action:

f= √(k/m)

f= system count

k = spring constant

m = mass connected to the spring

Therefore the frequency will be:

f= √(k/m) = √(383(N/m) / (3.8kg))= √( 100.7895 (kg×m/s²)/(kg ) =

= √( 100.7895 (1/s²) = 10.0394 (1/s)

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C
