A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.

0 N is applied to the block in the horizontal direction (not parallel to the ramp).a) If this force is just large enough to start the block moving down the ramp, what is the coefficient of static friction μsbetween the block and the ramp?b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp has a value of 0.40, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block along the ramp as this force is applied to the block?c) What is the work done by this applied force if the block travels a distance of 2.0 m down (i.e., parallel to) the ramp?

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules

Suppose electric power is supplied from two independent sources which work with probabilities 0.4, 0.5, respectively. if both so
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answers to the questions are as follows

a)  k = 0, P = 0.3

k = 1, P = 0.5

k = 0, P = 0.2

b) The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Explanation:

To solve the question we write the parameters as follows

Probability that the first power source works = P(A) = 0.4

Probability that the second power source works = P(B) = 0.5

When both sources are supplying power  we have the probability = 1

If non of them is producing the probability = 0

a) The probability that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2 is given by

For k = 0, probability = (1- P(A))× (1- P(B)) = 0.6 × 0.5 =0.3

Therefore the probabilities that exactly 0 source work  = 0.3

for k = 1 we have the probability = P(A)(1-P(B)) + P(B)(1-P(A)

= 0.4(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.4) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

The probabilities that exactly 1 source work  = 0.5

for k = 2 we have the probability given by = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2

Therefore the  probability that exactly 2 sources work  = 0.2

b)  The probability that enough power will be available is

0 × P(k = 0) + 0.6 × P(k = 1) + 1 × P(k = 2)

0 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.5

The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

If your friend drops a chocolate bar to you from a height of 5.0 m above your hands,
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<h3>1.01 s</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion S = ut+1/2gt² to solve the problem where;

u is the initial velocity of the chocolate = 0m/s

t is the time taken

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the height of fall = 5.0m

Substituting the given parameter into the formula to get the time t we have;

5 = 0(t)+1/2(9.81)t²

5 = 4.905t²

t² = 5/4.905

t² = 1.019

t = √1.019

t = 1.009 secs

<em>Hence it will take 1.01 secs for me to catch the chocolate bar</em>

It took a crew 9 h 36 min to row 8 km upstream and back again. If the rate of flow of the stream was 2 km/h, what was the rowing
babunello [35]

Answer:

3 km/h

Explanation:

Let's call the rowing speed in still water x, in km/h.

Rowing speed in upstream is: x - 2 km/h

Rowing speed in downstream is: x + 2 km/h

It took a crew 9 h 36 min ( = 9 3/5 = 48/5) to row 8 km upstream and back again. Therefore:

8/(x - 2) + 8/(x + 2) = 48/5      (notice that: time = distance/speed)

Multiplying by x² - 2², which is equivalent to (x-2)*(x+2)

8*(x+2) + 8*(x-2) =  (48/5)*(x² - 4)

Dividing  by 8

(x+2) + (x-2) = (6/5)*(x² - 4)

2*x = (6/5)*x² - 24/5

0 =  (6/5)*x² - 2*x - 24/5

Using quadratic formula

x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(6/5)(-24/5)}}{2(6/5)}

x = \frac{2 \pm 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = \frac{2 + 5.2}{2.4}

x_1 = 3

x_2 = \frac{2 - 5.2}{2.4}

x_2 = -1\; 1/3

A negative result has no sense, therefore the rowing speed in still water was 3 km/h
