A 3.5 kg block slides along a frictionless horizontal with a speed of 2.5 m/s. After sliding a distance of 5 m, the block makes

a smooth transition to a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle of 50â—¦ to the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 .

Answer:

  L = 0.416 m

Explanation:

In this exercise to calculate the distance traveled in the branch that climbs the block we can use the concepts of energy

Starting point Flat part

       Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final point. Highest part of the ramp

       Em_{f} = U = m g h

As there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserved

        Em₀ =  Em_{f}

        ½ m v² = m g h

       h = v² / 2g

       h = 2.5 2/2 9.8

       h = 0.3189 m

The distance traveled can be found with trigonometry

      sin 50 = h / L

      L = h / sin 50

      L = 0.3189 / sin50

      L = 0.416 m

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).

What is the net force on a truck if the force of friction is 31 N and the force of the engine is 79 N?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Fr = 48 [N] forward.

Explanation:

Suppose the movement is on the X axis, in this way we have the force of the engine that produces the movement to the right, while the force produced by the brake causes the vehicle to decrease its speed in this way the sign must be negative.

∑F = Fr

F_{engine}-F_{brake} =F_{r}\\F_{r}=79-31\\F_{r}=48[N]

The movement remains forward, since the force produced by the movement is greater than the braking force.
