Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk=μkN ) is a=g(sinθ−μkco

sθ). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (μk=0).

Answer:

a=g(sinθ-μkcosθ)

Explanation:

In an inclined plane the forces that interact with the object can be seen in the figure. The normal force, the weight w and the decomposition of the force vector of weight can be observed.

wx=m*g*sinθ

wy=m*g*cosθ

As the objects moves down an incline, acceleration in y axis is 0.

Then, by second Newton's Law:

Fy = m*ay

FN - m*g cos θ = 0,

FN=m*g cos θ

In x axis the forces that interacs are the x component of weight and friction force:

Fx = m*ax

mg sen u-FN*μk=m*a

Being friction force, Fr=FN*μk, we replace with its value in below formula:

m*g *sinθ-(m*g*cosθ*μk)=m*a

Then, isolating a:

a=(m*g sinθ-(m*g*cosθ*μk))/m

Solving, we have next equation:

a=g sinθ-(g*cosθ*μk)

Applying distributive property we have:

a=g*(sinθ-μk*cosθ)

A shot-putter accelerates a 7.2 kg shot from rest to 17 m/s . what work did the shot-putter do on the ball?
garri49 [273]
<span>1.0x10^3 Joules The kinetic energy a body has is expressed as the equation E = 0.5 M V^2 where E = Energy M = Mass V = Velocity Since the shot was at rest, the initial energy is 0. Let's calculate the energy that the shot has while in motion E = 0.5 * 7.2 kg * (17 m/s)^2 E = 3.6 kg * 289 m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 kg*m^2/s^2 E = 1040.4 J So the work performed on the shot was 1040.4 Joules. Rounding the result to 2 significant figures gives 1.0x10^3 Joules</span>
