Answer:

μ =tanθ

Explanation:=

The ratio of the force of static friction and the normal reaction is equal to tanθ. F=mgsinθ. R = mgcosθ.

μ=tanθ

Answer: So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)

Explanation: The force downwards of the block will be equal to the component with respect of where it can move.

So the force downwards will be:

F = Weight*cos( θ)

And we know that the weight is w = -m*g where g is the gravitational acceleration.

F = -g*m*cos( θ)

And we know that the block is at rest, so the net forces on it are equal to zero, this means that the gravitational force must be canceledby other one, and this can be the static friction force.

So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons
oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s.  That's momentum.  The 20,000 has units of Newtons.  That's force.  Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely.  You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push.  The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the <u><em>impulse</em></u> you give it.  The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

<em>T = 0.1701 second</em>

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

The stoplights on a street are designed to keep traffic moving at 26 mi/h. the average length of a street block between traffic ligh
bonufazy [111]

We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s
