Assume that block A which has a mass of 30 kg is being pushed to the left with a force of 75 N along a frictionless surface. Wha
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.  Note: this result does not match any value from your multiple choice list. Please see comment at the end of this answer.  

Explanation:

The acting force F=75N pushes block A into acceleration to the left. Through a kinetic friction force, block B also accelerates to the left, however, the maximum of the friction force (which is unknown) makes block B accelerate by 0.5 m/s^2 slower than the block A, hence appearing it to accelerate with 0.5 m/s^2 to the right relative to the block A.

To solve this problem, start with setting up the net force equations for both block A and B:

F_{Anet} = m_A\cdot a_A = F - F_{fr}\\F_{Bnet} = m_B\cdot a_B = F_{fr}

where forces acting to the left are positive and those acting to the right are negative. The friction force F_fr in the first equation  is due to A acting on B and in the second equation due to B acting on A. They are opposite in direction but have the same magnitude (Newton's third law). We also know that B accelerates 0.5 slower than A:

a_B = a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}

Now we can solve the system of 3 equations for a_A, a_B and finally for F_fr:

30kg\cdot a_A = 75N - F_{fr}\\24kg\cdot a_B = F_{fr}\\a_B= a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}\\\implies \\a_A=\frac{87}{54}\frac{m}{s^2},\,\,\,a_B=\frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}\\F_{fr} = 24kg \cdot \frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{80}{3}kg\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 26.7N

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.

This answer has been verified by multiple people and is correct for the provided values in your question. I recommend double-checking the text of your question for any typos and letting us know in the comments section.

Is the 3 in the molecule a coefficient, subscript, or element? 3H₂O₂
JulijaS [17]
<span>coefficient
       
Let's look at the 3 possibilities and see what they are for </span>3H₂O₂ coefficient - This is used to indicate that multiple molecules are used for the formula. In 3H₂O₂ that indicates that we are talking about 3 molecules of H₂O₂ subscript - This is a small number set in a smaller font and placed low to the elements. It indicates the number of each type of atom in the compound. For the formula 3H₂O₂ there are 2 subscripts. Both of them being the number "2" set small and low just after the letters H and O. Those subscripts indicate that there are 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms per molecule. element - This is the abbreviation for the elements used in the compound. In <span>3H₂O₂</span> there are 2 different elements. H to indicate hydrogen, and O to indicate oxygen.

A mass weighing 14 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. The mass is attached to a dashpot device that offers a damping force numeri
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when b^{2} > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when b^{2} = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when b^{2} < 0.86

Explanation:

Using the newton second law

k is the spring constante

b positive damping constant

m mass attached

m\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} = - kx - b\frac{dx}{dt}

x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position

\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{m}\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{k}{m}x = 0

Converting units of weights in units of mass (equation of motion)

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{14}{32} = 0.43 slug

From hook's law we can calculate the spring constant k

k = \frac{W}{s} = \frac{14}{2} = 7 lb/ft

If we put m and k into the DE, we get

\frac{d^{2} x}{dt^{2}} +\frac{b}{0.43}\frac{dx}{dt} + 16.28x = 0

Denoting the constants

2λ = \frac{b}{m} = \frac{b}{0.43}

λ = b/0.215

w^{2} = \frac{k}{m} = 16.28

λ^2 - w^2 = \frac{b^{2} }{0.046} - 16.28

This way,

The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when b^{2} > 0.86

The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when b^{2} = 0.86

The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when b^{2} < 0.86
