The correct answer to the question is : 4000 N

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mass of the roller coaster is given as m = 2000 kg

The acceleration of the roller coaster is given as a = 2m/s2

We are asked to calculate the net force acting on the roller coaster.

From Newton's second laws of motion,we know that net external force acting on a particle is equal to the product of mass with acceleration of the particle.

Mathematically it is written as-

F = ma

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is calculated as-

F = 2000Kg×2m/s2

= 4000 N.

Here, Newton (N) is the unit of force.

Hence,net force acting on the roller coaster is 4000 N.

A 53-N force is needed to keep a 50.0-kg box sliding across a flat surface at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of ki
earnstyle [38]

The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero. 

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in <em><u>that</u></em> direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the <u><em>other</em></u> direction.

 The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

                                                  53N  =  (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by  490N :  Coefficient = (53N) / (490N)  =  0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's    <em>0.11 </em>.      (choice 'd')

Harman [31]

Answer:  

A) 1.55  

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E)  57.82

Explanation:  

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel  

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.  

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by  

{\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R  

Similarly, torque due to A is given by  

{\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R  

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by  

\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}  

Replacing {\tau _1} and {\tau _2} by {T_{\rm{A}}}R and - {T_{\rm{B}}}R respectively yields  

\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}  

Substituting I\alpha for \tau in the equation \tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by \alpha = \frac{a}{R}  

where a is the linear acceleration  

Substituting \frac{a}{R} for \alpha into equation  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right we obtain  

\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

Net force on block A is  

{F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}  

Net force on block B is  

{F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g  

Where g is acceleration due to gravity  

Substituting {m_{\rm{B}}}a and {m_{\rm{A}}}a for {F_{\rm{B}}} and {F_{\rm{A}}} respectively into equation \frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right and making a the subject we obtain  

\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}  

Since {m_{\rm{B}}} = 3kg and {m_{\rm{B}}} = 7kg  

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}  

Substituting these we obtain  

a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}  

\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(B)

For block B

{a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(C)

The angular acceleration is \alpha = \frac{a}{R}

\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}
