a) See free-body diagram in attachment

b) The acceleration is 2.46 m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of an object is a diagram representing all the forces acting on the object. Each force is represented by a vector of length proportional to the magnitude of the force, pointing in the same direction as the force.

The free-body diagram for this object is shown in the figure in attachment.

There are three forces acting on the object:

  • The weight of the object, labelled as mg (where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity), acting downward
  • The applied force, F_a, acting up along the plane
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting down along the plane

b)

In order to find the acceleration of the object, we need to write the equation of the forces acting along the direction parallel to the incline. We have:

F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta = ma

where:

F_a = 15 N is the applied force, pushing forward

F_f = 5 N is the frictional force, acting backward

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the incline, acting backward, where

m = 2 kg is the mass of the object

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

\theta=15^{\circ} is the angle between the horizontal and the incline (it is not given in the problem, so I assumed this value)

a is the acceleration

Solving for a, we find:

a=\frac{F_a - F_f - mg sin \theta}{m}=\frac{15-5-(2)(9.8)(sin 15^{\circ})}{2}=2.46 m/s^2

A 22.0-kg child is riding a playground merrygo-round that is rotating at 40.0 rev/min. What centripetal force is exerted if he i
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

F=480.491 N

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 22 kg

Angular speed ω = 40 rev/min

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi \times 40}{60}\ rad/s

ω =4.18 rad/s

The radius  r= 1.25 m

We know that centripetal force is given as

F=m ω² r

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=22\times 4.18^2\times 1.25\ N

F=480.491 N

Therefore the centripetal force on the child will be 480.491 N.

What will the momentum of 23 kg object if it is travelling 5 m/s?
sasho [114]

Answer:

<h2>115 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 23 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>115 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
