Answer:
The magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is 2.614 newtons.
Explanation:
Since the box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, then it is decelerated solely by friction force due to the contact of the box with floor. The free body diagram of the box is presented herein as attachment. The equation of equilbrium for the box is:
(Eq. 1)
Where:
- Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.
- Mass of the box, measured in kilograms.
- Acceleration experimented by the box, measured in meters per square second.
By applying definitions of weight () and uniform accelerated motion (
), we expand the previous expression:
And the magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is calculated by this formula:
(Eq. 1b)
Where:
- Weight, measured in newtons.
- Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.
- Initial speed, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed, measured in meters per second.
- Time, measured in seconds.
If we know that ,
,
,
and
, the magnitud of the kinetic friction force exerted on the box is:
The magnitude of the friction force exerted on the box is 2.614 newtons.
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that the formula of range is given as
now we know that
maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as
now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value
so we will have
g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801
as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42 in an experiment performed.
the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.
hence the error is -
=3.88735 percent
the error is not so high,so it can be accepted.
now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-
As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.
if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801
