A worker exerts a pulling force on a box. The worker exerts this force by attaching a rope to the box and pulling on the rope so

that the rope makes a constant angle of 36.8° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.10. It takes the worker 5.12 seconds to move the box 10 m from rest. A. What is the magnitude of the pulling force that the worker exerts on the box? Express your answer as a percentage of the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the box. Indicate any assumptions that you made.

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the pulling force is 20.66% of the gravitational force acting on the box</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

The net force exerted on a body is the (vector) sum of all forces applied to the body. The net force can be decomposed in its rectangular components and the dynamics of the body can be studied in each direction x,y separately.

Let's start off by calculating the acceleration the worker gives to the box when pulling it. The distance traveled by the box initially at rest in a time t at an acceleration a is given by

\displaystyle x=\frac{at^2}{2}

Solving for a

\displaystyle a=\frac{2x}{t^2}

\displaystyle a=\frac{2\cdot 10}{5.12^2}

a=0.763\ m/s^2

Now we analyze the geometric of the forces applied to the box. Please refer to the free body diagram provided below.

The forces in the y-axis must be in equilibrium since no movement takes place there, thus, being g the acceleration of gravity:

T_y+N=m.g

There Ty is the vertical component of the tension of the rope, N is the normal force, and m is the mass of the box

The decomposition of T gives us

T_y=Tsin\theta

T_x=Tcos\theta

Solving the above equation for N

Tsin\theta+N=m.g

N=m.g-Tsin\theta\text{..........[1]}

Now for the x-axis, there are two forces acting on the box, the x-component of the tension and the friction force Fr. Those forces are not equilibrated, thus acceleration is produced:

Tcos\theta-F_r=m.a

Recalling that

F_r=\mu N

Tcos\theta-\mu N=m.a

Replacing N from [1]

Tcos\theta-\mu (m.g-Tsin\theta)=m.a

Operating

Tcos\theta-\mu m.g+\mu Tsin\theta=m.a

Solving for T

T(cos\theta+\mu sin\theta)=m.a+\mu m.g

\displaystyle T=\frac{m.a+\mu m.g}{cos\theta+\mu sin\theta}

\displaystyle T=m\frac{a+\mu g}{cos\theta+\mu sin\theta}

We don't know the value of m, thus we'll plug in the rest of the data

\displaystyle T=m\frac{0.763+0.10\cdot 9.8}{cos36.8^o+0.10 sin36.8^o}

T=2.0252m

Dividing by the weight of the box m.g

T/(m.g)=2.0252/9.8=0.2066

Thus, the magnitude of the pulling force is 20.66% of the gravitational force acting on the box

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .

Kepler’s third law can be used to derive the relation between the orbital period, P (measured in days), and the semimajor axis,
NikAS [45]
Kepler's 3rd law is given as
P² = kA³
where
P = period, days
A = semimajor axis, AU
k = constant

Given:
P = 687 days
A = 1.52 AU

Therefore
k = P²/A³ = 687²/1.52³ = 1.3439 x 10⁵ days²/AU³

Answer:  1.3439 x 10⁵ (days²/AU³)

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see
siniylev [52]

Answer:

3.88 * 10^(-15) J

Explanation:

We know that the Potential energy of the electron at the beginning of its motion is equal to the Kinetic energy at the end of its motion, when it reaches the plates.

First, we get the potential and potential energy:

Electric potential = E * r

E = electric field

r = distance between plates

Potential = 2.2 * 10^6 * 0.011

= 2.42 * 10^4 V

The relationship between electric potential and potential energy is:

P. E. = q*V

q = charge of electron = 1.602 * 10^(-19) C

P. E. = 2.42 * 10^4 * 1.602 * 10^(-19)

P. E. = 3.88 * 10^(-15) J

Se golpea una pelota de golf de manera que su velocidad inicial forma un ángulo de 45° con la horizontal. La pelota alcanza el s
nordsb [41]

Answer:

42m/s

6.06s

Explanation:

To find the initial velocity and time in which the ball is fling over the ground you use the following formulas:

x_{max}=\frac{v_o^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\\x_{max}=vt_{max}

θ: angle = 45°

vo: initial velocity

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

x_max: max distance = 180 m

t_max: max time

by replacing the values of the parameters and do vo the subject of the first formula you obtain:

v_o=\sqrt{\frac{gx_{max}}{sin(2\theta)}}\\\\v_o=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^2)(180m)}{sin(2(45\°))}}=42\frac{m}{s}

with this value of vo you calculate the max time:

t_{max}=\frac{x_{max}}{v}=\frac{x_{max}}{v_ocos(45\°)}\\\\t_{max}=\frac{180m}{(42m/s)cos(45\°)}=6.06s

hence, the initial velocity of the ball is 42m/s and the time in which the ball is in the air is 6.06s

TRANSLATION:

Para encontrar la velocidad inicial y el tiempo en el que la pelota está volando sobre el suelo, use las siguientes fórmulas:

θ: ángulo = 45 °

vo: velocidad inicial

g: constante gravitacional = 9.8m / s ^ 2

x_max: distancia máxima = 180 m

t_max: tiempo máximo

reemplazando los valores de los parámetros y haciendo el tema de la primera fórmula que obtiene:

con este valor de vo usted calcula el tiempo máximo:

por lo tanto, la velocidad inicial de la pelota es de 42 m / sy el tiempo en que la pelota está en el aire es de 6.06 s
