A box is sitting on a 2 m long board at one end. A worker picks up the board at the end with the box so it makes an angle with t

he ground of 35o. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the board is 0.5 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3 . A) Will the box slide down the ramp when it is at 35o? Prove it! B) How long will it take the box to slide to the other end of the ramp? (if it slides)

Answer:

Explanation:

When the box is on the ramp , component of its weight along the ramp

= mg sinθ

Friction force acting on it in upward direction

=μ mg cosθ

For sliding

μ mg cosθ < mg sinθ

μ cosθ < sinθ

.5 x cos35 < sin35

.41 < .57

So the box will slide

When sliding starts , kinetic friction acts

Net force in downward direction

mgsinθ - μ mg cosθ

acceleration

= gsinθ - μ g cosθ

= 5.62 - .3 x 9.8 x cos35

= 5.62 - 2.4

= 3.22 m /s²

A circuit contains two resistors in series. The voltage drop across the first is 10 V. The voltage drop across the second is als

Norma-Jean [14]

Hi there!

Voltage in a series can be expressed by the following:

$V_T = V_1 + V_2$

In words, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops in a SERIES circuit.

We can solve for the total voltage:

$V_T = 10 + 10 = \boxed{\text{ D. 20 V}}$

Consider a rocket that is in deep space and at rest relative to an inertial reference frame. The rocket's engine is to be fired

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

$\frac{m_i}{m_f}=2.7182$

$\frac{m_i}{m_f}=1096.633$

Explanation:

$m_i$ = Initial mass of rocket

$m_f$ = Final mass of rocket

u = Initial velocity

$v_r$ = Relative velocity

v = Velocity

From the rocket equation

$v=u+v_{r}\ln {\frac {m_{i}}{m_{f}}}\\\Rightarrow v=v_{r}\ln {\frac {m_{i}}{m_{f}}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=e^{\frac{v}{v_{r}}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=e^{\frac{v}{v}}=e^1\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=2.7182$

$\frac{m_i}{m_f}=2.7182$

when $v=7v_r$

$v=v_{r}\ln {\frac {m_{i}}{m_{f}}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=e^{\frac{v}{v_{r}}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=e^{\frac{7v_r}{v_r}}=e^7\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_i}{m_f}=1096.633$

$\frac{m_i}{m_f}=1096.633$

An open-end mercury manometer is connected to a low-pressure pipeline that supplies a gas to a laboratory. Because paint was spi

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$

b

$h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the manometer when there is no gas flow is $P_{m} = 15.5 \ psig = 15.5 * 6894.76 = 106868.78 \ N/m^2$

The level of mercury is $h = 950 \ mm = 0.950 \ m$

The drop in the mercury level at the visible arm is $d = 39.0 = 0.039 \ m$

Generally when there is no gas flow the pressure of the manometer is equal to the gauge pressure which is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_m = g * \delta h * \rho$

Here $\rho$ is the density of mercury with value $\rho = 13.6 *10^{3} kg/m^3$

and $\delta h$ is the difference in the level of gas in arm one and two

So

$\delta h = \frac{106868.78}{ 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 }$

$\delta h = 0.802 \ m$

Generally the height of the mercury at the arm connected to the pipe is mathematically represented as

$h_m = 0.950 - 0.802$

=> $h_m = 0.148 \ m$

Generally from manometry principle we have that

$P_G + \rho * g * d - \rho * g * [h - (h_m + d)] = 0$

Here $P_G$ is the pressure of the gas

$P_G +13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * 0.039 - 13.6 *10^{3} * 9.8 * [0.950 - (0.148 + 0.039)] = 0$

$P_G = 9.6724 04 *10^{4} \ N/m^2$

converting to psig

$P_G = \frac{ 9.6724 04 *10^{4} }{6894.76}$

$P_G = 14.03 \ psig$
