A boy pulls a sled of mass 5.0 kg with a rope that makes a 60.0° angle with respect to the horizontal surface of a frozen pond.

The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 10.0 N; and the sled moves with constant velocity. What is the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ice?

Answer:

μk = 0.124

Explanation:

Known data

m=5.0 kg : mass of the sled

T= 10 N   : force with which the boy pulls the rope

θ =60.0°  :angle of the rope with respect to the horizontal direction

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Newton's second law to the sled :

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Forces acting on the sled

W: Weight of the sled : In vertical and downward direction

N : Normal force : In vertical and upwards direction

f : Friction force: parallel to the movement of the sled and in the opposite direction to the movement

T:Rope tension : forming angle 60.0° of  of the rope with respect to the horizontal direction

Calculated of the W  of the sled

W= m*g

W=  5.0 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 49 N

x-y  components  of the tension of the rope  T

Tx= 10*cos60°= 5 N

Ty=  10*sin60° = 8.66 N

Calculated of the N

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

N+Ty -W = 0

N = 49 N  -  8.66 N

N = 40.34 N

Calculated of the f

f = μk* N

f = μk* 40.34 Equation (1)

We apply the formula (1) to calculated f

∑Fx = m*ax  the sled moves with constant velocity, then ax=0

∑Fx = 0

Tx-f = 0

5 - f = 0

f =  5N

We replace f in the equation (1)

5 = μk* 40.34

μk = 5 / 40.34

μk = 0.124

What force is necessary to accelerate a 5.0 kg mass from rest to a final velocity of 10.0 m/s in 5.0 s?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

What determines how much induced current will flow through a conductor?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic flux

Explanation:

The induced current is equal to the ratio of induced emf to the resistance of the conductor.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso
TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio
natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.
