two people, each with a mass of 70 kg, are wearing inline skates and are holding opposite ends of a 15m rope. One person pulls f

orward on the rope by moving hand over hand and gradually reeling in more of the rope. In doing so, he exerts a force of 35N [backwards] on the rope. This causes him to accelerate toward the other person. Assuming that the friction acting on the skaters is negligible, how long will it take for them to meet? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

7.75 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

35 N = (70 kg) a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Given v₀ = 0 m/s and Δx = 15 m:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.5 m/s²) t²

t = 7.75 s

The blank the value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The <u>HIGHER</u> value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding

Explanation:

As we know that friction force is given by

F_f = \mu F_n

so friction force is the product of friction coefficient and normal force.

So here we can say that if friction coefficient is higher then the friction force will be more as it is product of friction coefficient and normal force.

So correct answer will be given as

The <u>HIGHER</u> value of coefficient of friction the greater the resistance to sliding

A 250-lb block is subjected to a horizontal force P. The coefficient of friction between the block and surface is µs = 0.2. Dete
aev [14]

Answer:

force required to push the block = 219.714 lb

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

weight W of block = 250 lb

coefficient of friction = 0.2

consider equilibrium condition in x direction

P*cos(30)-W*sin(30)-\mu _{s}N = 0

P*0.866-0.2N = 125.........................(1)

consider equilibrium condition in Y direction

N-Wcos(30)-Psin(30)= 0

N-0.5P=216.503.....................(2)

SOLVING 1 and 2 equation we get N value

N = 326.36 lb

putting N value in either equation we get force required to push the block = 219.714 lb

A proton is released from rest in a uniform electric field that has a magnitude of 8.0 x 104 V/m. The proton undergoes a displac
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude of electric field = 8 x 10⁴ V /m

there is a potential difference of 8 x 10⁴ V on a separation of 1 m

so on a separation of .5 m , potential drop or change in potential will be equal to

.5 x 8 x 10⁴

= 4 x 10⁴ V .

The increase in kinetic energy of proton = V X Q

V is potential drop x Q is charge on proton

= 4 x 10⁴ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 6.4 x 10⁻¹⁵ J

potential energy of the proton-field system will be correspondingly decreased by the same amount or by an amount of

-  6.4 x 10⁻¹⁵ J .
