The term pressure refers to the force per area created by the weight
of anything whose weight is distributed over an area, such as the
Earth's atmosphere, a lake, a gas inside a sealed jar, or a pointy
high heel.

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)= 8.641 N

<h3>How can we calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar?</h3>

To calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar we are using the formula,

$\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c} = mgy$

Here we are given,

k = The spring has a spring constant.

= 25.5 N/m.

$x_f$ = Final length of the spring .

= $\sqrt{1.25^2+1.8^2} -0.60$

= 1.591 m

$x_i$ = The initial length of the spring.

= 1.25−0.60

=0.65 m

y=The collar then travels downward a distance.

= 1.80 m.

m= The mass of the collar.

=3.55 kg

$v_c$ = the velocity of the collar.

= 3.39 m/s.

g = The acceleration due to gravity.

= 9.81 m/s²

We have to calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar = F

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get;

$\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c} = mgy$

Or, $\frac{1}{2} \times 25.5 \times((1.591)^2 - (0.65)^2 ) + F\times 1.80 + \frac{1}{2}\times 3.55\times (3.39)^{2} = 3.55\times 9.81\times 1.80$

Or, F= 8.641 N

From the above calculation we can conclude that,

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)= 8.641 N

Question:

The 3.55 kg collar shown below is attached to a spring and released from rest at A. The collar then travels downward a distance of y = 1.80 m. The spring has a spring constant of k = 25.5 N/m. The distance a is given as 1.25 m. The datum for gravitational potential energy is set at the horizontal line through A and B. Determine the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar when the velocity of the collar at c is 3.39 m/s and the spring has an unstretched length of 0.60 m .

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

$V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}$

where $k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}$

Difference in potential between the points is

$kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}$

$PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}$

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

$270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]$
