A stockroom worker pushes a box with mass 16.8 kg on a horizontal surface with a constant speed of 3.50 m/s. The coefficient of

kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.20. (a) What horizontal force must the worker apply to maintain the motion? (b) If the force calculated in part (a) is removed, how far does the box slide before coming to rest?

Answer:

a) fr =\mu N= 0.2*164.64 N= 32.928 N

And we need a force F> 32.928 N[tex]b) [tex] d = \frac{-v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{-(3.5m/s)^2}{-2*1.96 m/s^2}= 3.13m

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following forces illustrated on the figure attached.

If we analyze on the x axis we just have two forces, fr the friction force and F the force to mantain the movement.

So we need this condition to satisfy the movement:

F > fr

If we analyze the forces on the y axis we have this:

\sum Fy= ma_y = 0

Because we have constant speed for this reason the acceleration is 0

N -W = 0

N = mg = 16.8Kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 164.64 N

And by definition the friction force is defined as: fr = \mu N

So then the friction force would be:

fr =\mu N= 0.2*164.64 N= 32.928 N

And we need a force F> 32.928 N

Part b

For this case we assume that F =0 and we have a friction force of 32.928 N.

From the second law of Newton we have:

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{m}= -\frac{fr}{m}= -\frac{32.928 N}{16.8 Kg}= -1.96m/s^2

vf =0 (final velocity, rest at the end) and vi = 3.5 m/s.

And we can find the time for the motion like this:

vf = v_i + at

t = \frac{-v_i}{a}= \frac{-3.5 m/s}{-1.96 m/s^2}= 1.78 s

And then we can find the distance from the following formula:

v^2_f= v^2_i + 2a d

d = \frac{-v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{-(3.5m/s)^2}{-2*1.96 m/s^2}= 3.13m

Mac and Keena are experimenting with pulses on a rope. Mac vibrates one end up and down while Keena holds the other end. This creates a pulse which they observe moving from end to end. How does the position of a point on the rope before the start of the pulse compare to its position after the pulse passes? Explain your reasoning.

A striped billiard ball moves toward the right with speed 3 m/s. A solid billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left
Helen [10]

Answer:

Final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Explanation:

Given :

Two billiard ball with the same mass moves toward the left at the same speed 3 m/s .

Let , us assume right hand side direction to be positive and left hand side direction to be negative .

Also , let speed of ball after collision is (striped ball ) u and (solid ball) v .

It is also given that the collision is elastic .

Therefore , kinetic energy is conserved .

\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}+\dfrac{m(3)^2}{2}=\dfrac{mu^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\u^2+v^2=18 ...... ( 1 )

Also , by conserving linear momentum .

We get :

3m-3m=mu+mv\\u=-v                ...... ( 2 )

Putting value of u from equation 2 to equation 1 .

We get :

2v^2=18\\v=3\ m/s

And , u = -3 m/s .

Therefore , final speed of striped ball is 3 m/s in left direction .

Hence , this is the required solution .

A small object with momentum 7.0 kg∙m/s approaches head-on a large object at rest. The small object bounces straight back with a
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that no external forces are exerted on both the small object and the big object, whose situation is described by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

p_{S,1}+p_{B,1} = p_{S,2}+p_{B,2} (1)

Where:

p_{S,1}, p_{S,2} - Initial and final momemtums of the small object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

p_{B,1}, p_{B,2} - Initial and final momentums of the big object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

If we know that p_{S,1} = 7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, p_{B,1} = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and p_{S, 2} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, then the final momentum of the big object is:

7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} + 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}+p_{B,2}

p_{B,2} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is:

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}-0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.
