A chair of weight 100 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 4

3.0 N directed at an angle of 35.0 degrees below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor. Using Newton's laws, calculate n, the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair. Express your answer in newtons.

Answer:

The normal force will be "122.8 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Weight,

W = 100 N

Force,

F = 40 N

Angle,

θ = 35.0°

As we know,

⇒ $N=W+FSin \theta$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $= 100N+40N \ Sin \theta$

⇒ $=100N+22.8$

⇒ $=122.8 \ N$

A bicycle wheel with radius 0.3 m rotates from rest to 3 rev/s in 5 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the total accelera

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Radius of bicycle wheel $r=0.3\ m$

Initial angular velocity $\omega _0=0$

It rotates 3 revolution in 5 s therefore

$\omega =2\pi 3=\6\pi =18.85\ rad/s$

using $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

where $\alpha =angular\ acceleration$

$\omega =Final\ angular\ velocity$

$t=time$

$\alpha =\frac{18.85}{5}=3.77 rad/s^2$

Total acceleration of any point will be a vector sum of tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration

$\omega at t=1$

$\omega =0+3.77\times 1=3.77 rad/s$

$a_c=\omega ^2\cdot r$

$a_c=(3.77)^2\cdot 0.3=4.26 m/s^2$

Tangential acceleration $a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=3.77\times 0.3=1.13 m/s^2$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{a_t^2+a_c^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(1.13)^2+(4.26)^2}$

$a_{net}=4.41 m/s^2$

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert

pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

$W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J$

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually ____________then stop.

Blizzard [7]

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid. When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.
