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)

To what temperature would you have to heat a brass rod for it to be 1.8 % longer than it is at 30 ∘c?
Annette [7]
In physics, certain metals elongate when it is heated. This is a consequence of the expansion of the molecules present in a metal tube, for example. This elongation is described by the equation:

ΔL = L0*α*ΔT, where

ΔL is the elongation. In other words, this is the difference between the original length and the elongated length.
L0 is the original leng
α is the coefficient of linear expansion. This is an empirical data for specific kind of materials. For brass, α = 18.9 x 10^6/°C
ΔT is the change in temperature

Rearranging the equation,

ΔL/L0 = α*ΔT, where ΔL/L0 is the percentage of length expansion which is equal to 0.018 (1.8^%)

0.018 = (18.9 x 10^-6)(T-30)
T = 982.4°C

A simple pendulum consists of a 1.00-kg bob on a string 1.00 m long. During a time interval of 25.0 s , the maximum angle this p
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The time constant is 76.92 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bob = 1.00 kg

String length=1.00 m

Time = 25.0 s

Suppose we need to calculate the numerical value of the time constant τ.

We need to calculate the numerical value of the time constant τ

Using formula of time constant

A=A_{0}e^{\dfrac{-t}{2\tau}}

Put the value into the formula

5.10=6.00e^{\dfrac{-25.0}{2\times\tau}}

e^{\dfrac{-25}{2\times\tau}}=\dfrac{5.10}{6.00}

e^{\dfrac{-25}{2\times\tau}}=0.85

\dfrac{25}{2\tau}=0.1625

\dfrac{1}{\tau}=\dfrac{0.1625\times2}{25}

\dfrac{1}{\tau}=0.013

\tau=\dfrac{1}{0.013}

\tau=76.92\ sec

Hence, The time constant is 76.92 sec.
