A large box of mass M is moving on a horizontal surface at speed v0. A small box of mass m sits on top of the large box. The coe

fficients of static and kinetic friction between the two boxes are μs and μk, respectively.
Part A: Find an expression for the shortest distance dminin which the large box can stop without the small box slipping.

Part B: A pickup truck with a steel bed is carrying a steel file cabinet. If the truck's speed is 10 m/s , what is the shortest distance in which it can stop without the file cabinet sliding? Assume that μs=0.80.

Answer:

Part A:

d_{min} = \frac{v_0^2}{2g\mu_s}

Part B:

d_{min} = 6.37~m

Explanation:

Part A:

We should determine the free-body diagram of the small box.

For the first box, the only force exerted to the box is the static friction force in the direction of the motion.

(The direction of the static friction is always confusing to the students. The wrong idea is that the static friction is in the opposite direction with the motion. However, if you look at the Newton's Second Law, it states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass times acceleration. And in this case acceleration of the total system is equal to that of the small box, since it sits on the larger box.)

We can use the equations of kinematics to find the minimum distance to stop without the small box slipping.

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a(\Delta x)\\0 = v_0^2 + 2ad_{min}

The acceleration can be found by Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\mg\mu_s = m(-a)\\a = -g\mu_s

The negative sign comes from the fact that in order for the boxes to stop they have to apply a negative acceleration.

Now, we can combine the two equations to find the distance x:

0 = v_0^2 + 2ad_{min} = v_0^2 + 2(-g\mu_s)d_{min}\\d_{min} = \frac{v_0^2}{2g\mu_s}

Part B:

We can apply the above formula to the truck and file cabinet.

d_{min} = \frac{v_0^2}{2g\mu_s} = \frac{10^2}{2(9.8)(0.80)} = 6.37~m

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Explanation: let the following

From the first equation of linear motion

V = u+at..........1

parameters be represented as :

t = Time taken

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

s = Displacement

V = 0

Substitute the values into equation 1

0 = 4-9.8(t)

-4 = -9.8t

t = 4/9.8

t = 0.408s

From : s = ut+1/2at^2.........2

S = 4×0.408+0.5(-9.8)×0.408^2

S= 1.632-4.9(0.166)

S = 1.632-0.815

S = 0.817m

Her highest height above the board is 0.817 m

Total height she would fall is 0.817+1.90 = 2.717 m

From equation 2

s = ut+1/2at^2

2.717 m = 0t+0.5(9.8)t^2

2.717 m = 0+4.9t^2

2.717 m = 4.9t^2

2.717/4.9 = t^2

0.554 =t^2

t =√0.554

t = 0.744s

Hence, her feet were in the air for 0.744+0.408seconds

= 1.152s

Also recall from equation 1

V= u+at

V = 0+9.8(0.744)

V = 7.29m/s

Hence, the velocity when she hits the water is 7.29m/s

Finally,

a = 1.152s

b = 0.817 m

c = 7.29m/s

Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d
mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm

Can someone solve this problem and explain to me how you got it​
evablogger [386]

Answer:

question5: F=74312.5N

question6: charge at the end of antenna=0.37N

Explanation:

Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion due to two charges is proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges.

⇒F\alpha\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

∴F=k\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2}}

where F is the force of attraction or repulsion

k is Coulumb's constant=9*10^{9}Nm^{2}C^{-2}

q1 and q2 are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between two charges

The force between the two charges is attractive if they are of different polarity

The force between the two charges is repulsive if they are of same polarity

Question5:

Given: q1=0.041 C, q2=0.029 C, r=12 m

therefore by Coulumb's law,

F=9*10^{9}*\frac{0.041*0.029}{12^{2}}

F=74312.5N

Question6:

Given: q1=3*10^{-18}C, r=5 m, F=4*10^{-11}N

therefore by Coulumb's law,

4*10^{-11}=9*10^{9}*\frac{3*10^{-18}*q2}{5^{2}}

⇒q2=\frac{4*10^{-11}*25}{9*10^{9}*3*10^{-18}} \\=0.37C

A car is traveling south is 200 kilometers from it’s starting point after 2 hours. What is the average velocity of the car
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

take note that v=d/t (velocity is distance over(divided by) time, so in this case it would be 200 (distance) divided by 2 (time) = 100
