A child (mass Me) pulls a sled (mass Ms) holding a baby (mass m) across the snow (assume the snow is frictionless). When the chi

ld starts the sled moving the baby brother slips off the sled instead of moving with the sled. The child tries again with a slightly smaller force and the baby stays on the sled due to the friction between the baby and the sled. Write a symbolic solution for the coefficient offriction between the baby and the sled if the maximum acceleration ofthe sled for the baby to stay on the sled is a. The solution may include the variables MC: Ms, m: a and g but does not need to have all ofthem_ The computer Ivill not recognize any other variables. Do not include any numbers (or the in your answer). Fill in the blank

Answer:

symbolic solution for the coefficient of friction between the baby and the sled is  

   \mu  =  \frac{m + M_s}{m}  *  \frac{a}{g}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the boy is  M_e  =

   The  mass of the shed is  M_s

    The mass of the baby is  m

    The  maximum acceleration for the baby to stay is  a

     

Generally the frictional  force between the baby and the shed is mathematically represented as

     F_f  =  \mu  N

Here  N is the normal force acting on the baby which is mathematically represented as

     N  =  m *  g

=>   F_f  =  \mu *  m *  g

Now for the baby not the slip off the shed the frictional  force between the baby and the shed must be equal to the the force applied by the child

The force applied by the child is mathematically represented as

    F  =  [M_s+m] * a

So

     \mu *  m *  g  =  [M_s+m] * a

=>    \mu  =  \frac{m + M_s}{m}  *  \frac{a}{g}

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
