How do you calculate acceleration using a friction coefficient?

1 answer:

4 0

Use the diagram to determine the normal force, the net force, the coefficient of friction (μ) between the object and the surface, the mass, and the acceleration of the object. (Neglect air resistance.) Note: To simplify calculations, an approximated value of g is often used - 10 m/s/s.

Two resistances, R1 and R2, are connected in series across a 9-V battery. The current increases by 0.450 A when R2 is removed, l

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

Explanation:

Since the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, the current flowing through them when the 9 V battery is applied is 9/R1 + R2.

When the current increases by 0.450 A wen only R1 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.450 A = 9/R1 (1)

When the current increases by 0.225 A when only R2 is in the circuit, the current is

9/R1 + R2 + 0.225 A = 9/R2 (2)

equation (1) - (2) equals

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.450 A - 0.225

9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125

(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125 A/9 = 0.0138

1/R1 = 0.0138 + 1/R2

R1 = R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) (3)

From (1)

9/R1 - 9/R1 + R2 = 0.450 A

9R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A/9 = 0.5

R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.5 (4)

From (3) R2/R1 = (1 + 0.0138R2) and from (4) R2/R1 = 0.5(R1 + R2). So,

(1 + 0.0138R2) = 0.5(R1 + R2)

0.5R1 + 0.5R2 = 1 + 0.0138R2

0.5R1 = 1 + 0.0138R2 - 0.5R2

0.5R1 = 1 - 0.4862R2 (5)

Substituting (3) into (5) we have

0.5R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) = 1 - 0.4862R2

R2 = (1 + 0.0138R2)(1 - 0.4862R2)

R2 = 1 - 0.4724R2 - 0.0067R2²

Collecting like terms, we have

0.0067R2² + 0.4724R2 + R2 - 1 = 0

0.0067R2² + 1.4724R2 - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

$R_{2} = \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{(1.4724)^{2} - 4 X 0.0067 X -1} }{2 X 0.0067} \\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1680 + 0.0268} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/-\sqrt{2.1948} }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 +/- 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{-1.4724 + 1.4815 }{0.0268} or \frac{-1.4724 - 1.4815 }{0.0268}\\= \frac{0.0091 }{0.0268} or \frac{-2.9539}{0.0268}\\= 0.340 or -110.22$

We choose the positive answer.

So R2 = 0.340 Ω

From (5)

R1 = 0.5 - 0.9931R2

= 0.5 - 0.9931 × 0.340

= 0.5 - 0.338

= 0.162 Ω

a. R1 = 0.162 Ω

b. R2 = 0.340 Ω

A 10 kg rock that has been dropped from a 60 meter high cliff experiences an average force of air resistance of 30 N. Calculate

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

4086 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy less the frictional energy. Potential energy= mgh where m represent mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of cliff

Since we have force of air resistance, work done due to air resistance will be product of force and distance

$mgh-Fh= 0.5mv^{2}= KE$

Substituting 10 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 60 m for F then the kinetic energy at the bottom will be

KE= 10*9.81*60- (30*60)=4086 J

What is the magnitude of the torque that the axle must apply to prevent the disk from rotating?

mihalych1998 [28]

The required torque at the axle, is given by the difference between the

moments of the applied forces.

The torque required is 19.62 N·m counterclockwise

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the disk, m = 5.0 kg

Location of the axle = Half the radius of the disk

Diameter of the disk, D = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Applied mass, 0.1 m from the axle = 15 kg

Applied mass, 0.3 m from the axle = 10 kg

Required:

Magnitude of torque at the axle that prevent the disk from rotating

Solution:

Torque needed = Clockwise moment - Counterclockwise moment

Clockwise moment = (10 kg × 0.3 m + 5 kg × 0.1 m) × 9.81 m/s² = 34.335 N·m

Counterclockwise moment = 15 kg × 0.1 m × 9.81 m/s² = 14.715 N·m

τ + Counterclockwise moment = Clockwise moment

τ + 14.715 N·m = 34.335 N·m

Torque required, τ = 34.335 N·m - 14.715 N·m = 19.62 N·m

Torque required, τ = 19.62 N·m counterclockwise

The atomic mass of an atom do not contain electrons because

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Electrons are so small that it does not affect the mass of atom .

Explanation:

Electrons are much smaller in mass than protons, weighing only 9.11 × 10^-28 grams, or about 1/1800 of an atomic mass unit. Therefore, they do not contribute much to an element's overall atomic mass.
