You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass 120 kg. One part of the track is a vertical lo

op with radius 12.0 m. At the bottom of the loop(part A) the car has a speed 25.0 m/s and at the top of the loop (point B) has a speed of 8.0 m/s. As the car rolls from point A to point B, how much work is done by friction.

Answer:

- 5436 J

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 120 kg

radius of loop, r = 12 m

velocity at the bottom (A) = Va = 25 m/s

Velocity at the top(B) = Vb = 8 m/s

Vertical distance from A to B = diameter of loop, h = 2 x 12 = 24 m

by use of Work energy theorem

Work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the body

Work done by the force + Work done by the friction = Kinetic energy at B - kinetic energy at A

- m x g x h + Work done by friction = 0.5 x 120 x (Vb^2 - Va^2)

- 120 x 9.8 x 24 + Work done by friction = 60 x (64 - 625)

- 28224 + Work done by friction = - 33660

Work done by friction = -33660 + 28224 = - 5436 J

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0
otez555 [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    F_{1} = 20 N, F_{2} = 25 N, a = -0.9 m/s^{2}

             W = 83 N

         m = \frac{83}{9.81}

             = 8.46

Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.

       N = W + F_{2}

           = 83 + 25 = 108 N

Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.

       F_{1} - F_{r} = ma

        20 - F_{r} = 8.46 \times (-0.9)

             F_{r} = 7.614 N

Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.

             F_{r} = \mu \times N

          \mu = \frac{F_{r}}{N}

                    = \frac{7.614}{108}

                    = 0.0705

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?
Tema [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion: 

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):     

                             Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

                                               =  (100 N) / (50 kg)

                                               =  2 m/s²

A pan hangs from a 50 cm spring. When a 10 kg mass is placed in the pan, it stretches the spring 6 cm. What is a function rule l
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

F = -kx

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring

k is the spring constant.

negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.

In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

F=mg

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

mg=-kx

computing it for x,

-x=mg/k

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.
