A block with mass 0.50 kg is forced against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of 0.20 m

(Fig. P7.39). When released, the block moves on a horizontal tabletop for 1.00 m before coming to rest. The force constant k is 100 N>m. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction mk between the block and the tabletop?

Answer:

μk = 0.408

Explanation:

Given:

m=0.50 Kg,

Let compressed distance x = 0.20 m, and

stretched distance after releasing y = 1.00 m

K = 100 N/M

Sol:

Law of conservation of energy

Energy dissipation due to friction = P.E stores in the spring

Ff * y = 1/2 K x ²   (Ff = μk Fn)  And (Fn = mg) so

μk mgy  =   1/2 K x ²

μk = 1/2 K x ² /mgy   Putting values

μk = (1/2 ) (100 N/M) (0.20 m)² / (0.50 Kg x 9.8 m/s² x 1 m)

μk = 0.408

<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.4

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(i) Since the mass is forced against the spring, an elastic energy (E_{E}) due to the compression of the spring by the force is produced and is given according to Hooke's law by;

E_{E} = \frac{1}{2} k c²            --------------------------------(i)

Where;

k = spring's constant

c = compression caused on the spring.

<em>From the question;</em>

k = 100N/m

c = 0.20m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

E_{E} = \frac{1}{2} x 100 x 0.20²

E_{E} = 2J

(ii) Now, when the mass is released, it causes the block to move some distance until it stops thereby doing some work within that distance. This means that the elastic energy is converted to workdone. i.e

E_{E} = W          ------------(ii)

The work done (W) is given by the product of the net force(F) on the block and the distance covered(s). i.e

W = F x s           -----------------(iii)

But, the only force acting on the body as it moves is the frictional force (F_{R}) acting to oppose its motion. i.e

F = F_{R}

Where;

F_{R} = μN      [μ = coefficient of kinetic friction, N = mg = normal reaction between the block and the tabletop, m = mass of the block, g = gravity]

F_{R} = μ x mg

<em>Substitute F = </em>F_{R}<em> = μ x mg into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

W = μ x mg x s             ----------------(iv)

<em>Now substitute the value of W into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

E_{E} = μ x mg x s                ------------------(v)

Where;

E_{E} = 2 J               [as calculated above]

m = 0.50 kg

s = distance moved by block = 1.00m

g = 10m/s²            [a known constant]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (v) as follows;</em>

2 = μ x 0.50 x 10 x 1

2 = 5μ

μ = 2 / 5

μ = 0.4

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the tabletop is 0.4

Two inductors, L1 and L2, are in parallel. L1 has a value of 25 mH and L2 a value of 50 mH. The parallel combination is in serie
Bond [772]

Answer:

Explanation:

For parallel inductors ,

\frac{1}{L_R} = \frac{1}{L_1} +\frac{1}{L_2}

\frac{1}{L_R} =\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{50}

L_R=16.67 mH.

For series combination

Total inductance

= 16.67 + 20

= 36.67 mH .

reactance of total inductance at 300 kHz

= ωL_{total} where ω is angular frequency

= 2πfL_{total}

= 2 x 3.14 x 300 x 10³ x 36.67 x 10⁻³

= 69.1 x 10³ ohm

Total rms current = Vrms / reactance

= 60 / 69.1 x 10³ A

= .87 x 10⁻³ A

= .87 mA

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k
alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}

→ v_{p}=150 km/h ,  v_{w}=50 km/h

→ v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11 km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4°

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

<em>You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south</em>

Which statement describes a controlled experiment?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

In a controlled experiment, an independent variable (the cause) is systematically manipulated and the dependent variable (the effect) is measured; any extraneous variables are controlled. The researcher can operationalize (i.e. define) the variables being studied so they can be objectivity measured.
