A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.3 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 19.8° above the ho

rizontal. The sledge moves a distance of 19.7 m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500.
(a) What is the tension in the rope?
(b) How much work is done by the rope on the sledge?
(c) What is the mechanical energy lost due to friction?

Answer

given,

total mass = 18.3 Kg

inclined at = 19.8°

distance = 19.7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.5

a) Horizontal component of force forward,

$F_x = F cos \theta$

Horizontal force backward = force of friction, f =μN.

Normal force, N = mg - F sinθ

Since the velocity is uniform, acceleration, a = 0

Net force, ΣF = 0

F cos θ+ -μ(mg -F sinθ) = 0

F (cosθ + μsin θ) = μmg

$F = \dfrac{\mu m g}{cos \theta + \mu sin \theta}$

$F = \dfrac{0.5\times 18.3\times 9.8}{cos 19.8^0 +0.5\times sin 19.8^0}$

=80.76 N

(b) Work done by the rope on the sledge,

W = F.S cosθ = 80.76 x 19.7 x 0.9360

= 1497 J

(c) Mechanical energy lost due to friction,

E = W done against friction,

W' = f x S =F x S = 80.76 x 19.7 x0.9360

= 1497 J

we know velocity is uniform,.

W done by the applied force = W done against friction.

= 1440 J

Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given $\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$ at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$ ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, $\sigma_n = 28 MPa$

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since $\tau \neq 0$

Explanation:

$\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]$

equation of the normal, $\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z$

$\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

Traction vector on n, $T_n = \sigma \b n$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]$

$T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

$\sigma_n = T_n . \b n$

$\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa$

If the shear stress, $\tau$ , is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

$\tau = T_n - \sigma_n \b n$

$\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau = [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau = \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z$

$\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2 + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa$

Since $\tau \neq 0$ , there are shear stresses acting on the surface.

If a speeding train hits the brakes and it takes the train 39 seconds to go from 54.8 m/s to 12 m/s what is the acceleration?

jekas [21]

Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

Scientists discovered that the level of deuterium in comets forming in the Kuiper Belt is nearly identical to the level found in

malfutka [58]

Options:

The impact of Earth’s gravity on the decay rate of deuterium is the same as the impact of microgravity.
Most of the water that forms the oceans of Earth arrived by way of impacts with Kuiper Belt comets.
Most comets formed from deuterium-based water that was stripped away from early Earth by solar radiation.

Answer:

<u>Most of the water that forms the oceans of Earth arrived by way of impacts with Kuiper Belt comets.</u>

Explanation:

Note, a comet is a celestial body made of ice which releases gases when it orbits close to the Sun. Deuterium is a type of element which can be found in comets and in our oceans on earth. Deuterium is considered an isotope of hydrogen.

Hence, because of the similarities between the Deuterium and Hydrogen, some scientists promote the theory that most of the water that forms on oceans of the earth<em> likely</em> arrived by the impact with Kuiper Belt comets.
