A 31 kg crate full of very cute kittens is placed on an incline that is 17° below the horizontal. The crate is connected to a sp

ring that is anchored to a vertical wall, such that the spring is parallel to the surface of the incline.
a. If the crate was connected to the spring at equilibrium length, and then allowed to stretch the spring until the crate comes to rest, determine the spring constant. Assume that the incline is frictionless and that the change in length of the spring is 2.13 m.
b. If there is friction between the incline and the crate, would the spring stretch more, or less than if the incline is frictionless? You must use concepts pertaining to work and energy to receive full credit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

so

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in  spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc  so spring stretches less.

A charge of 8.0 pc is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface (radius = 2.0 cm), and a second charge of â3.0 pc is distribu
loris [4]
According to Gauss' law, the electric field outside a spherical surface uniformly charged is equal to the electric field if the whole charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere.

Therefore, when you are outside two spheres, the electric field will be the overlapping of the two electric fields:
E(r > r₂ > r₁) = k · q₁/r² + k  · q₂/r² = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
where:
k = 9×10⁹ N·m²/C²

We have to transform our data into the correct units of measurement:
q₁ = 8.0 pC = 8.0×10⁻¹² C
q₂ = 3.0 pC = 3.0×10<span>⁻¹² C
</span><span>r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Now, we can apply the formula:
</span><span>E(r) = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
      = </span>9×10⁹ · (8.0×10⁻¹² + 3.0×10⁻¹²) / (0.05)²
      = 39.6 N/C

Hence, <span>the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the center of the two surfaces is E = 39.6 N/C</span>

The students on the right are applying a force of 100 N to the right. This is shown by the red arrow. The students on the left a
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

suddenly part of the force pulling to the left is gone.

and now the force pulling to the right is stronger.

so, the rope will move to the right. and that is also the direction of the net force.

A car on a level road turns a quarter circle ccw. You learned in Chapter 8 that static friction causes the centripetal accelerat
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

As we know that the force and the motion direction should always be perpendicular to each other due to which the work is done by static friction be zero

Therefore

F.dcos(theta) = F.d cos(90) = 0

Hence, the work done by static friction is zero

Therefore the same is to be considered

A machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 250 g and a diameter of 4.30 cm. It is spinning about a frictionl
zysi [14]

Answer:\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of sphere m=250\ gm

diameter of sphere d=4.30\ cm

radius r=\frac{4.30}{2}\ cm

f=0.0200\ N

friction will provide resisting torque so

f\times r=I\times \alpha

where I=\text{moment of Inertia}

f=\text{friction force}

\alpha =\text{angular acceleration}

I=\frac{2}{5}mr^2

0.02\times r=\frac{2}{5}mr^2\times \alpha

\alpha =\frac{5}{2r}\times f

\alpha =\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{2}{4.3\times 10^{-2}}\times 0.02

\alpha =9.302\ rad/s^2

(b)time taken to decrease its rotational speed by 21\ rad/s

t=\dfrac{\Delta \omega }{\alpha }

t=\dfrac{21}{9.302}

t=2.25\ s

2. Using examples to describe each term, differentiate
melisa1 [442]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Average velocity is the average value of magnitude of initial velocity and final velocity.

If U = initial velocity and V = final velocity, then average velocity can be expressed as

Average velocity = ( U + V )/2

A vehicle who takes 60 minutes to cover 30 miles north and then 30 miles south and end up at the same place, has an average speed of 60 miles divided by 60 minutes, or 1 mile per minute.

Instantaneous velocity is the distance covered in a specific direction per time taken. Instantaneous velocity can be expressed as

Velocity = displacement/ time.

Uniform velocity occurs when we have a constant velocity. That is, when velocity does not change. When a vehicle travels in equal distances in equal intervals of time.
