In a second experiment, you decide to connect a string which has length L from a pivot to the side of block A (which has width d

) so that the block will be constrained to go in a circular path about the pivot once it leaves the launcher. What relationship would allow you to write an expression for the maximum tension in the string during the motion? Justify your choice and explain how the maximum tension would depend on the variables given in the problem.

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

A)

i) The blocks will come to rest when all their initial kinetic energy is dissipated by the friction force acting on them. Since block A has higher initial kinetic energy, on account of having larger mass, therefore one can argue that block A will go farther befoe coming to rest.

ii) The force on friction acting on the blocks is proportional to their mass, since mass of block B is less than block A, the force of friction acting on block B is also less. Hence, one might argue that block B will go farther along the table before coming to rest.

B) The equation of motion for block A is

m_{A}\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -m_{A}g\nu_{s}\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -\nu_{s}g \quad (1)

Here, \nu_{s} is the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface of the table. Equation (1) can be easily integrated to get

v(t) = C-\nu_{s}gt \quad (2)

Here, C is the constant of integration, which can be determined by using the initial condition

v(t=0) = v_{0}\Rightarrow C = v_{0} \quad (3)

Hence

v(t) = v_{0} - \nu_{s}gt \quad (4)

Block A will stop when its velocity will become zero,i.e

0 = v_{0}-\nu_{s}gT\Rightarrow T = \frac{v_{0}}{\nu_{s}g} \quad (5)

Going back to equation (4), we can write it as

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} = v_{0}-\nu_{s}gt\Rightarrow x(t) = v_{0}t-\nu_{s}g\frac{t^{2}}{2}+D \quad (6)

Here, x(t) is the distance travelled by the block and D is again a constant of integration which can be determined by imposing the initial condition

x(t=0) = 0\Rightarrow D = 0 \quad (7)

The distance travelled by block A before stopping is

x(t=T) = v_{0}T-\nu_{s}g\frac{T^{2}}{2} = v_{0}\frac{v_{0}}{\nu_{s}g}-\nu_{s}g\frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\nu_{s}^{2}g^{2}} = \frac{v_{0}^{2}}{2\nu_{s}g} \quad (8)

C) We can see that the expression for the distance travelled for block A is independent of its mass, therefore if we do the calculation for block B we will get the same result. Hence the reasoning for Student A and Student B are both correct, the effect of having larger initial energy due to larger mass is cancelled out by the effect of larger frictional force due to larger mass.

D)

i) The block A is moving in a circle of radius L+\frac{d}{2} , centered at the pivot, this is the distance of pivot from the center of mass of the block (assuming the block has uniform mass density). Because of circular motion there must be a centripetal force acting on the block in the radial direction, that must be provided by the tension in the string. Hence

T = \frac{m_{A}v^{2}}{L+\frac{d}{2}} \quad (9)

The speed of the block decreases with time due to friction, hence the speed of the block is maximum at the beginning of the motion, therfore the maximum tension is

T_{max} = \frac{m_{A}v_{0}^{2}}{L+\frac{d}{2}} \quad (10)

ii) The forces acting on the block are

a) Tension: Acting in the radially inwards direction, hence it is always perpendicular to the velocity of the block, therefore it does not change the speed of the block.

b) Friction: Acting tangentially, in the direction opposite to the velocity of the block at any given time, therefore it decreases the speed of the block.

The speed decreases linearly with time in the same manner as derived in part (C), using the expression for tension in part (D)(i) we can see that the tension in the string also decreases with time (in a quadratic manner to be specific).

You used the right-hand rule to determine the z component of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of positio
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

case x py   L is in the positive z direction

case y px   L the negative z direction

Explanation:

The angular amount is defined by the relation

         L = r x p

the bold are vectors, where r is the position vector and p is the linear amount vector.

The module of this vector can be concentrated by the relation

         L = r p sin θ

the direction of the vector L can be found by the right-hand rule where the thumb points in the direction of the displacement vector, the fingers extended in the direction of the moment p which is the same direction of speed and the palm points in the direction of the angular momentum L

in the case x py

the thumb is in the x direction, the fingers are extended in the direction and the palm is in the positive z direction

In the case y px

the thumb is in the y direction, the fingers are in the x direction, the palm is in the negative z direction

An automobile of mass 1.46 cross times to the power of blank 10 cubed kg rounds a curve of radius 25.0 m with a velocity of 15.0
Vsevolod [243]

The centripetal force exerted on the automobile while rounding the curve is 1.31\times10^4 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

given that

Mass\ of\ the\ automobile\ m  =1.46\times 10^3 kg\\radius\ of\ the\ curve\ r =25 m\\velocity\ of\ the\ automobile\ v=15m/s\\

Objects moving around a circular track will experience centripetal force towards the center of the circular track.

centripetal\ force=mv^2/r\\=1.46\times10^3\times15^2/25\\=1.46\times 10^3\times 225/15\\=1.31\times 10^4 N

4. The 50-kg crate shown in Fig. rests on a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of
laila [671]

Answer:

5.057 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force of kinetic friction = .3  = F /normal force

  .3 = F /(50* 9.81)     F of friction = 147.15

Net force =   400 - 147.5  =  252.85  N

F = m * a

252.85 = 50 * a       a = 5.057 m/s^2
