A 330 kg piano slides 3.6 m down a 28o incline and is kept from accelerating by a man who is pushing back on it parallel to the

incline. The effective coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4. Calculate:
a. the force exerted by the man
b. the work is done by the man on the piano
c. the work is done by the friction force
d. the work is done by the force of gravity
e. the net work done on the piano.

Answer:

a. 652.68N

b. -2349.65J

c. -3116.12J

d. 5465.77J

e. Zero

Explanation:

a. According to equilibrium of forces, the force of gravity is equal to the sum of the frictional force and force exerted by the man in the opposite direction (since they're both resistant forces).

Fg = Fm + Fr

Fm = Fg - Fr

Fm = mgsin(28°) - umgcos(28°)

u = coefficient of frictional force.

Fm = 330*9.8*sin28 - 0.4*330*9.8*cos28

Fm = 1518.27 - 865.59

Fm = 652.68N

b. Work done by man is:

Wm = -Fm * d

Wm = -652.68 * 3.6

Wm = -2349.65J

c. Work done by friction force:

W(Fr) = -Fr * d

W(Fr) = -865.59 * 3.6

W(Fr) = -3116.12J

d. Work done by gravity:

Wg = Fg * d

Wg = 1518.27 * 3. 6

Wg = 5465.77J

e. Net work done on the piano is:

Work done by friction + work done by gravity + work done by man

= -3116.12 + 5464.77 + (-2349.65)

= 0J

Two forces act in opposite directions on a wood block. What will happen if the forces are unbalanced?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If two unequal forces act in opposite directions, one larger force must cancel out the smaller force,

leaving the net force to be some number in one direction.

Take for example a game of tug-of-war; there are two  OPPOSITE forces (groups of people) acting on the rope, one force is pulling with a force in the negative direction while the other force is pulling in the positive direction.

If the forces on the rope were unequal, then the stronger force (group) will pull everything in their direction.

The same will happen on two unequal forces of opposite directions acting on a wooden block. Therefore, since the resultant force will have a non-zero magnitude and direction, there will be a change in the block's motion and position.

A race car reaches the finish line and the driver slows down to come to a stop. If it takes the car 10 seconds to stop at a cons
boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s

The speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s. The speed of light in ice is 2.29 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index from air to
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\

where,

η = refractive index = ?

c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\

<u>η = 1.31</u>
