Schach [20]3 years ago

Answer:

  Rₓ - F cos θ = 0 ,     R_y - Fsin θ - W = 0

Explanation:

For this exercise we have a static equilibrium problem,

       ∑ F =0

In the attachment we have the forces involved, the weight (W) with vertical direction, the force towards the mask (F) and the reaction force of the ear that we will approximate by its vertical and horizontal components (Rₓ and R_y)

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the force F

       sin θ = Fₓ / F

        cos θ = F_y / F

       Fₓ = F sin θ

       F_y = F cos θ

we write the equations of equilibrium

X axis

           Rₓ - F cos θ = 0

Y axis

           R_y - Fsin θ - W = 0

A horizontal spring with spring constant 950 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c
OLga [1]

Answer:

66.5N

Explanation:

F = kx

Where F = force

K = spring constant

x = compression

Given

K = 950N/m

x = 7.0cm

F = ?

First convert the compression to meters .

7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01

= 0.07 meters

Therefore

F = 950 x 0.07

= 66.5N

A 1.05 kg block slides with a speed of 0.865 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring with a force
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) U = 0 J    

k = 0.393 J

E = 0.393 J

b) U = 0.0229J

k = 0.370 J

E = 0.393 J

c) U = 0.0914 J

k = 0.302 J

E = 0.393 J

d) U = 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

E = 0.393 J

e) U = 0.366 J

k = 0.027 J

E = 0.393 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy are as follows:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

Where:

m = mass of the block.

v = velocity.

ks = spring constant.

x = displacement of the string.

a) When the spring is not compressed, the spring potential energy will be zero:

U = 1/2 · ks · x²

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0 cm)²

U = 0 J

The kinetic energy of the block will be:

k = 1/2 · m · v²

k = 1/2 · 1.05 kg · (0.865 m/s)²

k = 0.393 J

The mechanical energy will be:

E = k + U = 0.393 J + 0 J = 0.393 J

This energy will be conserved, i.e., it will remain constant because there is no work done by friction nor by any other dissipative force (like air resistance). This means that the kinetic energy will be converted only into spring potential energy (there is no thermal energy due to friction, for example).

b) The spring potential energy will be:

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.01 m)²

U = 0.0229 J

Since the mechanical energy has to remain constant, we can use the equation of mechanical energy to obtain the kinetic energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0229 J

0.393 J - 0.0229 J = k

k = 0.370 J

c) The procedure is now the same. Let´s calculate the spring potential energy with x = 0.02 m.

U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.02 m)²

U = 0.0914 J

Using the equation of mechanical energy:

E = k + U

0.393 J = k + 0.0914 J

k = 0.393 J - 0.0914 J = 0.302 J

d) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.03 m)²

U = 0.206 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.206 J

k = 0.187 J

e) U = 1/2 · 457 N/m · (0.04 m)²

U = 0.366 J

E = 0.393 J

k = E - U = 0.393 J - 0.366 J = 0.027 J.

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

A shopping cart rolls from x=19.9m to x=5.40m with an average velocity of -0.418m/s. How much time did it take? (unit=s)
andrew11 [14]

Given

initial position = Xi= 19.9m

Final position Xf = 5.4m

Average velocity= Va = -0.418m/s

it shows displacement is reverse.

To find  t=?

As   Va = (Xf- Xi) / t

t = (Xf-Xi) / ( Va)

t = ( 5.4-19.9) / (-0.418)

t = (-14.5 ) / (-0.418)   (-ve sign cancel out at numerator and denominator)

t =34.69 s
