Answer: 148.263 N

Explanation:

If we draw a free body diagram of the describes situation we will have the following:

Net force in x:

-F_{fr}+Fcos\theta=0 (1)

Where:

F_{fr}=\mu_{k}N is the friction force

F is the force exerted on the rope to move the box

\theta=30\° is the angle

Net force in y:

N+Fsin\theta-W=0 (2)

Where:

N is the Normal force

W=mg is the force due gravity on the box (its weight), being m=50 kg the mass of the box and g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Rewritting (2):

N+m a sin\theta-mg=0 (3)

Where a=2.5 m/s^{2}

N=m(g-a sin\theta) (4)

N=50 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}-(2.5 m/s^{2}) sin30\°) (5)

N=428 N (6) This is the value of the normal force

Rewritting (1):

-\mu_{k}N+Fcos\theta=0 (6)

Finding F:

F=\frac{\mu_{k}N}{cos 30\°} (7)

F=\frac{(0.3)(428 N)}{cos 30\°}

Finally:

F=148.263 N

An electric ceiling fan is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity magnitude of 0.300 rev/s . The magnitude
Salsk061 [2.6K]

1) 1.2 m/s

First of all, we need to find the angular velocity of the blade at time t = 0.200 s. This is given by

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0.300 rev/s is the initial angular velocity

\alpha = 0.895 rev/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Substituting t = 0.200 s, we find

\omega_f = 0.300 + (0.895)(0.200)=0.479 rev/s

Let's now convert it into rad/s:

\omega_f = 2\pi \cdot 0.479 rev/s=3.01 rad/s

The distance of a point on the tip of the blade is equal to the radius of the blade, so half the diameter:

r=\frac{0.800}{2}=0.400 m

And so now we can find the tangential speed at t = 0.200 s:

v=\omega_f r =(3.01)(0.400)=1.2 m/s

2) 2.25 m/s^2

The tangential acceleration of a point rotating at a distance r from the centre of the circle is

a_t = \alpha r

where \alpha is the angular acceleration.

First of all, we need to convert the angular acceleration into rad/s^2:

\alpha = 0.895 rev/s^ \cdot 2 \pi =5.62 rad/s^2

A point on the tip of the blade has a distance of

r = 0.400 m

From the centre; so, the tangential acceleration is

a_t = (5.62)(0.400)=2.25 m/s^2

3) 3.6 m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v is the tangential speed

r is the distance from the centre of the circle

We already calculate the tangential speed at point a):

v = 1.2 m/s

while the distance of a point at the end of the blade from the centre is

r = 0.400 m

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration is

a=\frac{1.2^2}{0.400}=3.6 m/s^2

. A person weighing 750 N gets on an elevator.
Kobotan [32]

 

F = 750 N  (Force)

d = 10 m  (displacement )

t = 25 s   (time)

L = ?   (Mechanical work )  =  (Energy)

P = ?   (Power)

Solve:

L = F × d = 750 × 10 = 7500 Joules

P = L / t = 7500 / 25 = 300 Watts

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!
