7 0

Answer:

1) improve the quality of data

2) new system is more simple and elegant

Explanation:

the reason for being selected new system of determining planetary positions are

1) he want to improve the quality of data for having new planetary positioned value.

b) he believed that new system is more simple and elegant for determining planetary positions by both skilled and unskilled user i.e. astronomers and general public

An object of mass m = 4.0 kg, starting from rest, slides down an inclined plane of length l = 3.0 m. The plane is inclined by an
kirill [66]

Answer:

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane:

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

Explanation:

Nomenclature

vf: final velocity

v₀ :initial velocity

a: acceleleration

d: distance

Ff: Friction force

W: weight

m:mass

g: acceleration due to gravity

Graphic attached

The attached graph describes the variables related to the kinetics of the object (forces and accelerations)

Calculation de of the components of W in the inclined plane

W=m*g

Wx₁ = m*g*sin30°

Wy₁=  m*g*cos30°

Object kinematics on the inclined plane

vf₁²=v₀₁²+2*a₁*d₁

v₀₁=0

vf₁²=2*a₁*d₁

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*a_{1}*d_{1}  }  Equation (1)

Object kinetics on the inclined plane (μ= 0.2)

∑Fx₁=ma₁  :Newton's second law

-Ff₁+Wx₁ = ma₁   , Ff₁=μN₁

-μ₁N₁+Wx₁ = ma₁      Equation (2)

∑Fy₁=0   : Newton's first law

N₁-Wy₁= 0

N₁- m*g*cos30°=0

N₁  =  m*g*cos30°

We replace   N₁  =  m*g*cos30 and  Wx₁ = m*g*sin30° in the equation (2)

-μ₁m*g*cos30₁+m*g*sin30° = ma₁   :  We divide by m

-μ₁*g*cos30°+g*sin30° = a₁  

g*(-μ₁*cos30°+sin30°) = a₁  

a₁ =9.8(-0.2*cos30°+sin30°)=3.2 m/s²

We replace a₁ =3.2 m/s² and d₁= 3m in the equation (1)

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*3.2*3}  }

v_{f1} =\sqrt{2*3.2*3}

v_{f1} = 4.38 m/s

Rough surface  kinematics

vf₂²=v₀₂²+2*a₂*d₂   v₀₂=vf₁=4.38 m/s

0   =4.38²+2*a₂*d₂  Equation (3)

Rough surface  kinetics (μ= 0.3)

∑Fx₂=ma₂  :Newton's second law

-Ff₂=ma₂

--μ₂*N₂ = ma₂   Equation (4)

∑Fy₂= 0  :Newton's first law

N₂-W=0

N₂=W=m*g

We replace N₂=m*g inthe equation (4)

--μ₂*m*g = ma₂   We divide by m

--μ₂*g = a₂

a₂ =-0.2*9.8= -1.96m/s²

We replace a₂ = -1.96m/s² in the equation (3)

0   =4.38²+2*-1.96*d₂

3.92*d₂ = 4.38²

d₂=4.38²/3.92

d₂=4.38²/3.92

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf = - Ff₁*d₁

Ff₁= μ₁N₁= μ₁*m*g*cos30°= -0.2*4*9.8*cos30° = 6,79 N

Wf= -  6.79*3 = 20.4 N*m

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane

Wg=W₁x*d= m*g*sin30*3=4*9.8*0.5*3= 58.8 N*m

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w
nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s  law. Force exerted by car,

F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg)  a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.

A honeybee with a mass of 0.150 g lands on one end of a floating 4.75-g popsicle stick, as shown in (Figure 1) . After sitting a
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

0.0443 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of honeybee = 0.15 g

m_2 = Mass of popsicle stick = 4.75 g

v_1 = Velocity of honeybee

v_2 = Velocity of stick = 0.14 cm/s

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{4.75\times 0.14}{0.15}\\\Rightarrow v_1=4.43\ m/s

The velocity of the bee is 4.43 cm/s or 0.0443 m/s
