F=ma
F= 4x1.2
F= 4.8 N

F= 4gsin30 - Friction
Friction= 19.6 - 4.8 N
Friction= 14.8 N

Friction= u x 4gcos30
14.8 / 4gcos30 = u
u= 0.43596...
u= 0.44

coefficient is 0.44

A 4-kg hammer is lifted to a height of 10 m and dropped from rest. What was the velocity (in m/s) of the hammer when it was at a
ipn [44]

Answer:

v = 10.84 m/s

Explanation:

using the equation of motion:

v^2 = (v0)^2 + 2×a(r - r0)

<em>due to the hammer starting from rest, vo = 0 m/s and a = g , g is the gravitational acceleration.</em>

v^2 = 2×g(r - r0)

v = \sqrt{2×(-9.8)×(4 - 10)}

  = 10.84 m/s

therefore, the velocity at r = 4 meters is 10.84 m/s

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}, assuming that:

  • the height of 3.21\; {\rm m} refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
  • air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
  • the gravitational field strength is g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}, and
  • the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

  • Let k denote the spring constant of the spring.
  • Let m denote the mass of the clay sphere.
  • Let v denote the initial speed of the spring.
  • Let g denote the gravitational field strength.
  • Let h denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let x denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of x, the elastic potential energy \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} in this spring would be:

\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}.

The initial kinetic energy \text{KE} of the clay sphere was:

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}.

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

  • The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
  • The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by x.
  • The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by h = 3.21\; {\rm m}.

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere (h = 3.21\; {\rm m} above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by (h + x).

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x).

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x).

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, x:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0.

Substitute in k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}, m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}, v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}, g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}, and h = 3.21\; {\rm m}. Let the unit of x be meters.

785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0 (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that x \ge 0:

\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately 0.560\; {\rm m}.

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N
