A block with mass m is pulled horizontally with a force F_pull leading to an acceleration a along a rough, flat surface.

Physics
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction on the block is defined as:

F_k=\mu_kN

Where \mu_k is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface and N is the normal force, which is always perpendicular to the surface that the object contacts. So, according to the free body diagram of the block, we have:

N=mg\\F_k=F=ma

Replacing this in the first equation and solving for \mu_k:

ma=\mu_k(mg)\\\mu_k=\frac{a}{g}

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to t
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Explanation:

given,

velocity of particle 1 = 0.741 c to left

velocity of second particle = 0.543 c to right

relative velocity between the particle = ?

for the relative velocity calculation we have formula

W_x = \dfrac{|u_x - v_x|}{1-\dfrac{u_xv_x}{c^2}}

u_x = 0.543 c

v_x = - 0.741 c

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c - (-0.741 c)}{1-\dfrac{(0.543 c)(-0.741 c)}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c +0.741 c)}{1+\dfrac{(0.543)(0.741)c^2}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{1.284c}{1+0.402363}

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Relative velocity of the particle is W_x = 0.9156\ c

Frank has a paperclip. It has a mass of 12g and a volume of 3cm3. What is its density?​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

D = 4 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density = Mass / Volume

Step 1: Define

D = x

M = 12 g

V = 3 cm³

Step 2: Substitute

D = 12g/3 cm³

Step 3: Simplify

D = 4g / cm³
