Two crates, one with mass 5.4 kg and the other with mass 8.2 kg, connected by a light rope. The coefficient of kinetic friction

between each crate and the surface is 0.43.The crates are pulled to the right at a constant velocity of 2.9 cm/s by a horizontal force. Determine the ratio of the magnitude of the applied horizontal force to the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the blocks. Use 9.80 meters per second squared for acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

R= 2.5 :ratio of the magnitude of the applied horizontal force to the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the blocks

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F=m*a

velocity is constant ,then , a=0

Nomenclature

W: weight

m: mass

N : normal force

Ff: Friction force

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

T: tension force in the rope

F: applied horizontal force

g: acceleration due to gravity.

Force Calculation

W₁=m₁*g=5.4 kg *9.8m/s²=52.92 N

W₂=m₂*g=8.2 kg *9.8m/s²= 80.36N

∑Fy=0

N₁-W₁=0 , N₁=W₁ = 52.92 N

N₂-W₂=0, N₂=W₂=80.36N

Ff₁= μk* N₁=0.4*52.92 N = 21.16N

Ff₂= μk* N₂=0.4*80.36N = 32.14N

Look at the attached graphic

Free-Body diagram m₁=5.4 kg

∑Fx=0

T- Ff₁=0 , T= Ff₁ , T= 21.16N

Free-Body diagram m₂=8.2 kg

∑Fx=0

F-T- Ff₂=0 , F=T+Ff₂= 21.16N+32.14N=53.3N

Ratio of the magnitude of the applied horizontal force to the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the blocks (R)

R= F/T= 53.3N/21.16N = 2.5

An object with mass 3.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring stiffness constant k = 270 N/m and is executing simple harmonic m

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 0.066 m

Part b)

maximum speed = 0.58 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

here we know

m = 3.5 kg

k = 270 N/m

now we have

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{270}{3.5}}$

$\omega = 8.78 rad/s$

Part a)

Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as

$v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}$

$0.55 = 8.78 \sqrt{A^2 - 0.020^2}$

$A = 0.066 m$

Part b)

Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as

$v_{max} = A\omega$

$v_{max} = 0.066(8.78) = 0.58 m/s$

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t

erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 , pass 3, emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle. So it is Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newton's is applied from the right?

Olegator [25]

The bag moves to the left.

This is because of Newton's third law of motion that states:

For every action force on a body, there is an opposite and equal reaction force.

Thus pushing the bag from the right makes it move to the left.
