A worker wants to load a 12 kg crate into a truck by sliding the crate up a straight ramp which is 2.5 m long and which makes an

angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The worker believes that he can get the crate to the very top of the ramp by launching it at 5 m/s at the bottom and letting go. But friction is not neglible; the crate slides 1.6 m upthe ramp, stops, and slides back down.
Required:
a. Assuming that the friction force actingon the crate is constant, find its magnitude.
b. How fast is teh crate moving when it reachesthe bottom of the ramp?

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the friction force is 55.851 newtons, b) The speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp is 2.526 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) This situation can be modelled by the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem, where friction represents the only non-conservative force exerting on the crate in motion. Let consider the bottom of the straight ramp as the zero point. The energy equation for the crate is:

U_{g,1}+K_{1} = U_{g,2}+K_{2}+ W_{fr}

Where:

U_{g,1}, U_{g,2} - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

K_{1}, K_{2} - Initial and final translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

W_{fr} - Work losses due to friction, measured in joules.

By applying the defintions of translational kinetic and gravitational potential energies and work, this expression is now expanded:

m\cdot g \cdot y_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} =  m\cdot g \cdot y_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot \cos \theta

Where:

m - Mass of the crate, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

y_{1}, y_{2} - Initial and final height of the crate, measured in meters.

v_{1}, v_{2} - Initial and final speeds of the crate, measured in meters per second.

\mu_{k} - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

\theta - Ramp inclination, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The equation is now simplified and the coefficient of friction is consequently cleared:

y_{1}-y_{2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}) = \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta

\mu_{k} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \cdot \left[y_{1}-y_{2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot (v_{1}^{2}-v_{2}^{2}) \right]

The final height of the crate is:

y_{2} = (1.6\,m)\cdot \sin 30^{\circ}

y_{2} = 0.8\,m

If \theta = 30^{\circ}, y_{1} = 0\,m, y_{2} = 0.8\,m, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, v_{1} = 5\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the coefficient of friction is:

\mu_{k} = \frac{1}{\cos 30^{\circ}}\cdot \left\{0\,m-0.8\,m+\frac{1}{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}\cdot \left[\left(5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}\right] \right\}

\mu_{k} \approx 0.548

Then, the magnitude of the friction force is:

f =\mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta

If \mu_{k} \approx 0.548, m = 12\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \theta = 30^{\circ}, the magnitude of the force of friction is:

f = (0.548)\cdot (12\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}

f = 55.851\,N

The magnitude of the force of friction is 55.851 newtons.

b) The energy equation of the situation is:

m\cdot g \cdot y_{1} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} =  m\cdot g \cdot y_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot \cos \theta

y_{1}+\frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{1}^{2} =y_{2} + \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{2}^{2} + \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta

Now, the final speed is cleared:

y_{1}-y_{2}+ \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{1}^{2} -\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta=  \frac{1}{2\cdot g}\cdot v_{2}^{2}

2\cdot g \cdot (y_{1}-y_{2}-\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta) + v_{1}^{2} = v_{2}^{2}

v_{2} = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot (y_{1}-y_{2}-\mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)+v_{1}^{2}}

Given that g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, y_{1} = 0.8\,m, y_{2} = 0\,m, \mu_{k} \approx 0.548, \theta = 30^{\circ} and v_{1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the speed of the crate at the bottom of the ramp is:

v_{2}=\sqrt{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot [0.8\,m-0\,m-(0.548)\cdot \cos 30^{\circ}]+\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}

v_{2}\approx 2.526\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the crate when it reaches the bottom of the ramp is 2.526 meters per second.

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di
AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s

At takeoff, a commercial jet has a speed of 72 m/s. Its tires have a diameter of 0.89 m. Part (a) At how many rev/min are the ti
34kurt

Answer:

a) Revolutions per minute = 2.33

b) Centripetal acceleration = 11649.44 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Angular velocity is the ratio of linear velocity and radius.

Here linear velocity = 72 m/s

Radius, r  = 0.89 x 0. 5 = 0.445 m

Angular velocity

         \omega =\frac{72}{0.445}=161.8rad/s

Frequency

         f=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\times \pi}{161.8}=0.0388rev/s=2.33rev/min

Revolutions per minute = 2.33

b) Centripetal acceleration

               a=\frac{v^2}{r}

  Here linear velocity = 72 m/s

  Radius, r  = 0.445 m

Substituting

   a=\frac{72^2}{0.445}=11649.44m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration = 11649.44m/s²

Two taut strings of identical mass and length are stretched with their ends fixed, but the tension in one string is 1.10 times g
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The  beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency is 12.6 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of wave on the string with lower tension, v₁ = 35.2 m/s

the fundamental frequency of the string, F₁ = 258 Hz

<u>velocity of wave on the string with greater tension;</u>

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{\mu }

where;

v₁ is the velocity of wave on the string with lower tension

T₁ is tension on the string

μ is mass per unit length

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{\mu} } \\\\v_1^2 = \frac{T_1}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T_1}{v_1^2} \\\\ \frac{T_1}{v_1^2} =  \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}

Where;

T₁ lower tension

T₂ greater tension

v₁ velocity of wave in string with lower tension

v₂ velocity of wave in string with greater tension

From the given question;

T₂ = 1.1 T₁

v_2^2 = \frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}  \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}} \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{1.1T_1*(35.2)^2}{T_1}}\\\\v_2 = \sqrt{1.1(35.2)^2} = 36.92 \ m/s

<u>Fundamental frequency of wave on the string with greater tension;</u>

<u />f = \frac{v}{2l} \\\\2l = \frac{v}{f} \\\\thus, \frac{v_1}{f_1}  =\frac{v_2}{f_2} \\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1v_2}{v_1} \\\\f_2 =\frac{258*36.92}{35.2} \\\\f_2 = 270.6 \ Hz<u />

Beat frequency = F₂ - F₁

                          = 270.6 - 258

                          = 12.6 Hz

Therefore, the  beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency is 12.6 Hz

Which resultant force is NOT possible if 50 N force and a 60 N force act concurrently?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Suppose the case where the forces act in opposite directions, then we need to subtract the forces, and we know that the magnitude of the resultant force will be:

60N - 50N = 10N

Now, suppose the case where both forces act in the exact same direction, in that case, we will add the forces to get:

60N + 50N = 110N

Then the only range of forces that we can get in this system, are the forces such:

10N ≤ F ≤ 110N

Any resultant force outside that range is not possible in this situation.
