In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, $\theta=20.0$ °

Mass of package is, $m=2.50\ kg$

Initial speed of package is, $u=2.00\ m/s$

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, $v=0\ m/s$

Distance of travel along the incline is, $d=12.0\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be $\mu$ .

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

$a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta$ ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)$

Solving for 'a', we get:

$-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2$

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

$\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6}$ ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for $\mu$ . This gives,

$9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382$

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance

8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

===============

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.

A ball of mass 5 kg attached to a string is swung in a horizontal circle of radius 0.5 m. If the tension in the string is 10 N,

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the ball = 5 kg

radius of the horizontal circle = 0.5 m

tension in the string = 10 N

Work done = ?

Work done by the tension in the circular path will be equal to zero.

This is because body moves in circular path, the centripetal force act along the radius of the circle and motion is right angle to the tension on the string.

so, work done = F s cos θ

θ = 90°,

work done = F s cos 90° ∵ cos 90° = 0

Work done = 0 J
