A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the

box and the belt is 0.770. How much time does it take for the box to stop sliding relative to the belt and how far does the box move in this time?

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg

Since the frictional force f_k is equal to f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg, then we have that the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.

A child bounces a 52 g superball on the sidewalk. The velocity change of the superball is from 20 m/s downward to 14 m/s upward.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Force on superball will be =9.8222\times 10^{-4}N

Explanation:

We have given mass of superball m = 52 gram = 0.052 kg

Velocity change from 20 m/sec downward to 14 m/sec upward

Let downward velocity is positive then upward velocity is negative

So downward velocity is + 20 m/sec and upward velocity is -14 m/sec

Time is given as 1800 sec

We know that acceleration is rate of change of velocity

So a=\frac{20-(-14)}{1800}=0.0188m/sec^2

According to newton second law

Force = ma = 0.052×0.0188 =9.8222\times 10^{-4}N

The distance between two particles is 2 centimeters. If the distance is increased to 4 centimeters, the force will be ?
postnew [5]

Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

Initial\ Distance = 2cm ---- r_1

New\ Distance = 4cm --- r_2

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

The new force (F2) is

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}

Substitute 4 for r2

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

Substitute F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1

F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.
