A horizontal force of 93.7 N is applied to a 42.5 kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.03 m/s2, wha
1 answer:
Answer:
49.925N
Explanation:
According to newton's second law of motion:
is the sum of force along the x component
m is the mass of the crate
ax is the acceleration
Fk is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction
Given
Fm = 93.7
m = 42.5kg
a = 1.03m/s²
Substitute into the formula:
Hence the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction (in N) acting on the crate is 49.925N

Answer:
- Power requirement <u>P</u> for the banner is found to be 30.62 W
- Power requirement <u>P</u> for the solid flat plate is found to be 653.225 W
- Answer for part(c) is explained below in the explanation section and can be summarized as: The main difference between the drags and power requirements of the two objects of same size was due to their significantly different drag-coefficients. The <em>Cd </em>for banner was given, whereas the <em>Cd </em>for a flat plate is generally found to be around <em><u>1.28</u></em><em> </em>which is the value we used in our calculations that resulted in a huge increase of power to tow the flat plate
- Power requirement <u>P</u> for the smooth spherical balloon was found to be 40.08 W
Explanation:
First of all we will establish variables and equations known that are known to us to solve this question. Since we are given the velocity of the airplane:
- v = velocity of airplane i.e. 150 km/hr. To convert it into m/s we will divide it by 3.6 which gives us 41.66 m/s
- The density of air at s.t.p (standard temperature pressure) is given as d = 1.225 kg / m^3
- The power can be determined this equation: P = F . v, where F represents <em>the drag-force</em> that we will need to determine and v represents the<em> velocity of the airplane</em>
- The equation to determine drag-force is:
In the drag-force equation Cd represents the c<em>o-efficient of drag</em> and A represents the <em>frontal area of the banner/plate/balloon (the object being towed)</em>
Frontal area A of the banner is : 25 x 0.8 = 20 m^2
<u>Part a)</u> We will plug in in the values of Cd, d, A in the drag-force equation i.e. Fd = <em>1/2 * 0.06* 1.225 * 20</em> = 0.735 N. Now to find the power P we will use P = F . v i.e.<em> 0.735 * 41.66</em> = <u><em>30.62 W</em></u>
<em></em>
<u>Part b) </u>For this part the only thing that has fundamentally changed is the drag-coefficient Cd since it's now of a solid flat plate and not a banner. The drag-coefficient of a flat plate is approximately given as : Cd_fp = 1.28
Now we will plug-in our values into the same equations as above to determine drag-force and then power. i.e. Fd = <em>1/2 * 1.28 * 1.225 * 20</em> = 15.68 N. Using Fd to determine power, P = 15.68 * 41.66 = <u><em>653.225 W</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
<u>Part c)</u> The main reason for such a huge power difference between two objects of same size was due to their differing drag-coefficients, as drag-coefficients are generally large for objects that are not of a streamlined shape and leave a large wake (a zone of low air pressure behind them). The flat plate being solid had a large Cd where as the banner had a considerably low Cd and therefore a much lower power consumption
<u>Part d)</u> The power of a smooth sphere can be calculated in the same manner as the above two. We just have to look up the Cd of a smooth sphere which is found to be around 0.5 i.e. Cd_s = 0.5. Area of sphere A is given as : <em>pi* r^2 (r = d / 2).</em> Now using the same method as above:
Fd = 1/2 * 0.5 * 3.14 * 1.225 = 0.962 N
P = 0.962 * 41.66 = <u><em>40.08 W</em></u>
Answer:
Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.
Explanation:
Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.
In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.
The net force is equal to
Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.
This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.
As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.
The amount of the friction force should be
Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.
