The box shown on the rough ramp above is sliding up the ramp.calculate the force of friction on the box
Anna [14]

We are given a box that slides up a ramp. To determine the force of friction we will use the following relationship:

F_f=\mu N

Where.

\begin{gathered} N=\text{ normal force} \\ \mu=\text{ coefficient of friction} \end{gathered}

To determine the Normal force we will add the forces in the direction perpendicular to the ramp, we will call this direction the y-direction as shown in the following diagram:

In the diagram we have:

\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass}_{} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ mg=\text{ weight} \\ mg_y=y-\text{component of the weight. } \end{gathered}

Adding the forces in the y-direction we get:

\Sigma F_y=N-mg_y

Since there is no movement in the y-direction the sum of forces must be equal to zero:

N-mg_y=0

Now we solve for the normal force:

N=mg_y

To determine the y-component of the weight we will use the trigonometric function cosine:

\cos 40=\frac{mg_y}{mg}

Now we multiply both sides by "mg":

mg\cos 40=mg_y

Now we substitute this value in the expression for the normal force:

N=mg\cos 40

Now we substitute this in the expression for the friction force:

F_f=\mu mg\cos 40

Now we substitute the given values:

F_f=(0.2)(10\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\cos 40

Solving the operations:

F_f=15.01N

Therefore, the force of friction is 15.01 Newtons.

Explain Rutherford's experiment?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.
