The force P is applied to the 45-kg block when it is at rest. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force exerte

d by the surface on the block if (a) P = 0, (b) P = 190 N, and (c) P = 268 N. (d)
What value of P is required to initiate motion up the incline?
The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the block and the incline are μs = 0.25 and μk = 0.22, respectively. The friction force is positive if up the incline, negative if down the incline.

Answer:

Check attachment for free body diagram of the question.

I used the free body diagram and the angles given in the diagram missing in the question above, but I used the data given in the above question.

Explanation:

Let frictional force be Fr acting down the plane

Let analyze the structure before inserting values

Using Newton's second law along the y-axis

ΣFy = Fnet = m•ay

Since the body is not moving in the y-direction, then ay = 0

N+PSinβ — WCosθ = 0

N+PSin20—441.45Cos15 = 0

N+PSin20—426.41 = 0

N = 426.41 — PSin20 , equation 1

The maximum Frictional force to be overcome is given as

Fr(max) = μsN

Fr(max) = 0.25(426.41 — PSin20)

Fr(max)= 106.6 —0.25•PSin20

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P, equation 2

This is the maximum force that must be overcome before the body starts to move

Using Newton's law of motion in the x direction

Note, we took the upward direction up the plane as the direction of motion since the force want to move the block upward

Fnetx = ΣFx

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ — Fr

Fnetx = P•Cos20—441.45•Sin15—Fr

Fnetx = 0.9397P — 114.256 — Fr

Equation 3

When Fnetx is positive, then, the body is moving up the plane, if Fnetx is negative, then, the maximum frictional force has not yet being overcome and the object is still i.e. not moving

a. When P = 0

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(0)

Fr(max)= 106.6 N

So, 106.6N is the maximum force to be overcome

So, here the only force acting on the body is the weight and it acting down the plane, trying to move the body downward.

Wx = WSinθ

Wx = 441.45× Sin15

Wx = 114.256 N.

Since the force trying to move the body downward is greater than the maximum static frictional force, then the body is not in equilibrium, it is moving downward.

So, finding the magnitude of frictional force

From equation 1

N = 426.41 — PSin20 , equation 1

N = 426.41 N, since P=0

Then, using law of kinetic friction

Fr = μk • N

Fr = 0.22 × 426.41

Fr = 93.81 N.

b. Now, when P = 190N

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(190)

Fr(max) = 106.6 —16.2469

Fr(max)= 90.353 N

So, 90.353 N is the maximum force to be overcome

Now the force acting on the x axis is the horizontal component of P and the horizontal component of the weight

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ

Fnetx = 190Cos20 — 441.45Sin15

Fnetx = 64.29N

So the force moving the body up the incline plane is 64.29N

Fnetx < Fr(max)

Then, the frictional force has not being overcome yet.

Then, the body is in equilibrium.

Then, applying equation 3.

Fnetx = 0.9397P — 114.256 — Fr

Fnetx = 0, since the body is not moving

0 = 0.9397(190) —114.246 — Fr

Fr = 64.297 N

Fr ≈ 64.3N

c. When, P = 268N

From equation 2

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551(268)

Fr(max) = 106.6 —16.2469

Fr(max)= 83.68 N

So, 83.68 N is the maximum force to be overcome

Now the force acting on the x axis is the horizontal component of P and the horizontal component of the weight

Fnetx = P•Cosβ —W•Sinθ

Fnetx = 268Cos20 — 441.45Sin15

Fnetx = 137.58 N

So the force moving the body up the incline plane is 137.58 N

Fnetx > Fr(max)

Then, the frictional force has being overcome.

Then, the body is not equilibrium.

So, finding the magnitude of frictional force

From equation 1

N = 426.41 — 268Sin20 , equation 1

N = 334.75 N, since P=268N

Then, using law of kinetic friction

Fr = μk • N

Fr = 0.22 × 334.75

Fr = 73.64 N

d. The required force to initiate motion is the force when the block want to overcome maximum frictional force.

So, Fnetx = Fr(max)

Px — Wx = Fr(max)

From equation 1

Fr(max) = 106.6 — 0.08551P,

P•Cosβ-W•Sinθ = 106.6 — 0.08551P

P•Cos20 — 441.45•Sin15 = 106.6 — 0.08551P

P•Cos20—114.256=106.6 - 0.08551P

PCos20+0.08551P =106.6 + 114.256

1.025P=220.856

P = 220.856/1.025

P = 215.43 N

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
kow [346]
The density would decrease because the mass of an object deals with the amount of atoms in the object and since none of the object was reduced "a" wouldn't be the answer. Depending on the amount and period of time that the heat is applied the liquid could change into a gas so "d" wouldn't be correct. Density is the mass÷ volume, and when you add heat to an object it could take up different amounts of space because of its particles gaining energy and spreading apart. So the density would decrease because of the volume increasing. So I believe that "c" is the answer.

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

The early workers in spectroscopy (Fraunhofer with the solar spectrum, Bunsen and Kirchhoff with laboratory spectra) discovered
Anestetic [448]

The hot gases produce their own characteristic pattern of spectral lines, which remain fixed as the temperature increases moderately.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

A continuous light spectrum emitted by excited atoms of a hot gas with dark spaces in between due to scattered light of specific wavelengths is termed as an atomic spectrum. A hot gas has excited electrons and produces an emission spectrum; the scattered light forming dark bands are called spectral lines.

Fraunhofer closely observed sunlight by expanding the spectrum and a huge number of dark spectral lines were seen.  "Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff" discovered that when certain chemicals were burnt using a Bunsen burner, atomic spectra with spectral lines were seen. Atomic spectral pattern is thus a unique characteristic of any gas and can be used to independently identify presence of elements.

The spectrum change does not depend greatly on increasing temperatures and hence no significant change is observed in the emitted spectrum with moderate increase in temperature.
