A 5 kg block is sliding on a horizontal surface while being pulled by a child using a rope attached to the center of the block.

The rope exerts a constant force of 28.2 N at an angle of \theta=θ = 30 degrees above the horizontal on the block. Friction exists between the block and supporting surface (with \mu_s=\:μ s = 0.25 and \mu_k=\:μ k = 0.12 ). What is the horizontal acceleration of the block?

Answer:

The horizontal acceleration of the block is 4.05 m/s².

Explanation:

The horizontal acceleration can be found as follows:

$F = m \cdot a$

$Fcos(\theta) - \mu_{k}N = m\cdot a$

$Fcos(\theta) - \mu_{k}[mg - Fsen(\theta)] = m\cdot a$

$a = \frac{Fcos(\theta) - \mu_{k}[mg - Fsen(\theta)]}{m}$

Where:

a: is the acceleration

F: is the force exerted by the rope = 28.2 N

θ: is the angle = 30°

$\mu_{k}$ : is the kinetic coefficient = 0.12

m: is the mass = 5 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$a = \frac{28.2 N*cos(30) - 0.12[5 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} - 28.2 N*sen(30)]}{5 kg} = 4.05 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the horizontal acceleration of the block is 4.05 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon

djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

$x_c= 2D\lambda/a
$

where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

$x_c\propto 1/a$

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

Having difficulty finding the PE and KE for these values no mass is given. Does anyone know to go solve these?

Alexandra [31]

11) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13) 50.0 m/s

14) 41.6 m/s

Explanation:

11)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground. It is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to the ground

Here in this problem, when the train is at the top, we have:

m = 8325 kg (mass of the train + riders)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

h = 127 m (height of the train at the top)

Substituting,

$PE=(8325)(9.8)(127)=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the train must be conserved (in absence of friction). So we can write:

$KE_t + PE_t = KE_b + PE_b$

where

$KE_t$ is the kinetic energy at the top

$PE_t$ is the potential energy at the top

$KE_b$ is the kinetic energy at the bottom

$PE_b$ is the potential energy at the bottom

The kinetic energy is the energy due to motion; since the train is at rest at the top, we have

$KE_t=0$

Also, at the bottom the height is zero, so the potential energy is zero

$PE_b=0$

Therefore, we find:

$KE_b=PE_t=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

From question 12), we know that the kinetic energy of the train at the bottom is

$KE=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

We also know that the mass is

m = 8325 kg

Therefore, we can calculate the speed of the train at the bottom:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.04\cdot 10^7)}{8325}}=50.0 m/s$

14)

At the top of the second hill, the total mechanical energy of the train is still conserved.

Therefore, we can write again:

$KE_1 + PE_1 = KE_2 + PE_2$

where

$KE_1$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 1st hill

$PE_1$ is the potential energy at the top of the 1st hill

$KE_2$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 2nd hill

$PE_2$ is the potential energy at the top of the 2nd hill

From the previous questions, we know that

$KE_1=0$

and

$PE_1=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

The height of the second hill is

h = 39 m

So we can also find the potential energy at the second hill:

$PE_2=mgh=(8325)(9.8)(39)=3.2\cdot 10^6 J$

So, the kinetic energy at the second hill is

$KE_2=PE_1-PE_2=1.04\cdot 10^7 - 3.2\cdot 10^6 =7.2\cdot 10^6 J$

And so, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE_2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.2\cdot 10^6)}{8325}}=41.6 m/s$

which of the following safety harnesses is the safest and most recommended when hunting from a treestand?

Lyrx [107]

The best tree stand safety harness is the Hunter Safety System Hybrid Flex Safety Harness, with its awesome ElimiShield Scent Control Technology.

Moreover, These stands are designed to be attached directly to the tree. Hunters using a fixed or suspended stand must choose a method of climbing up and down from the platform. The safest and most used method is sectional ladders.
