A box slides down a 30.0° ramp with an acceleration of 1.20 m/s^2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box

and the ramp.

m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30                                         eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30    


parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30  = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

How fast must a 1000 kg car be moving to have a kinetic energy of:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

\mathrm{(a)}\: 2\: \mathrm{m/s}\\\mathrm{(b)}\: 20\: \mathrm{m/s}\\

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

We can set up the following equations with the information given:

\mathrm{(a)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$2\: \mathrm{m/s}$}

For part B, we have the same equation, but kinetic energy is now 2.0\cdot 10^5.

Therefore:

\mathrm{(b)}\: 2.0\cdot 10^5=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1000\cdot v^2, \\v=\fbox{$20\: \mathrm{m/s}$}.

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest and reaches a linear speed of 24.8 m/s in a time of 9.87 s. The radius of each tire
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

8.756 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that:

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest, then initial velocity v_i = 0 m/s

It final velocity v_f = 24.8 m/s

time (t) = 9.87 s

radius (r) of each tire  = 0.287 m

Firstly; the linear acceleration of the motor cycle  is determined as follows:

a_T =(V_f - v_i)/t

=(24.8-0)/9.87

=2.513 m/s²

Then;  the magnitude of angular acceleration

α =a_T /r

=2.513/0.287

=8.756 rad/s²

a teacher studies how the number of absent affects the final grade of their students. what would be the dependent variable?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Number of absent affects the grade  

 Explanation:

the dependent variable is the grade and the independent variable is the number of absent, since the grade depends of the number of absents.

If a vibrating string is made shorter (i.e., by holding your finger on it), what effect does
Ghella [55]
  <span>Pitch and frequency are more or less the same thing - high pitch = high frequency.

The sum of 24.686 m, 2.343 m and 3.21 m with correct significant figures is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

30.24m

Explanation:

When adding numbers together, we round to the smallest number of decimal places of the numbers, which is 2 decimal places in this case.

24.686m + 2.343m + 3.21m = 30.23<u>9</u> m

                                             ≈ 30.24m (round to 2 d.p.)

When you round numbers to a certain digit (hundredth in this case), you would want to look on the digit on its right (thousandth in this case). If that digit is 1-4, you round the digit down. If that digit is 5-9, you round the digit up. Since the digit in the thousandths place is 9, you round the hundredth digit up from 3 to 4.
