While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b

etween the box and the floor is 0.43. The pushing force is directed downward at an angle θ below the horizontal. When θ is greater than a certain value, it is not possible to move the box, no matter how large the pushing force is. Find that value of θ.

Answer:

\theta = 66.7 degree

Explanation:

since force is applied downwards at some angle with the horizontal

so here we will have

F_n = mg + Fsin\theta

now we know that the box will not move if applied force is balanced by frictional force on it

so we will have

Fcos\theta = \mu F_n

F cos\theta = \mu (mg + F sin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = \mu mg

F = \frac{\mu mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

so here we can say

cos\theta - \mu sin\theta > 0

tan\theta = \frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{0.43})

\theta = 66.7 degree

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

1. A mass suspended from a spring oscillates vertically with amplitude of 15 cm. At what distance from the equilibrium position
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The value of the distance is \bf{14.52~cm}.

Explanation:

The velocity of a particle(v) executing SHM is

v = \omega \sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~(1)

where, \omega is the angular frequency, A is the amplitude of the oscillation and x is the displacement of the particle at any instant of time.

The velocity of the particle will be maximum when the particle will cross its equilibrium position, i.e., x = 0.

The maximum velocity(\bf{v_{m}}) is

v_{m} = \omega A~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation(2).

\dfrac{v}{v_{m}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{A^{2} - x^{2}}}{A}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(3)

Given, v = 0.25 v_{m} and A = 15~cm. Substitute these values in equation (3).

&& \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{\sqrt{15^{2} - x^{2}}}{15}\\&or,& A = 14.52~cm

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s
