You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 3.00 kg , up an incline of constant slope an

gle 30.0° so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 3.30 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10^−2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s^2 . Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed v that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier.

Answer:

v = 8.45 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass  = 3 kg

angle = 30.0°

vertical distance = 3.3 m

μ = 0.06

according to conservation of energy

KE(loss) = PE(gain) + Work done (against\ friction)..............(1)

frictional Force

F_f = \mu N

F_f = \mu m g cos \theta

work against friction

W = F d

W = \mu m g cos \theta \times h l sin\theta

W = \dfrac{\mu m g \times h}{tan\theta}

Potential energy

PE = mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2= \dfrac{\mu mgh}{tan \theta}+ mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2= \dfrac{0.06 \times 9.81 \times 3.3}{tan 30^0}+ 9.8\times 3.3

v = 8.45 m/s

the minimum speed is equal to 8.45 m/s

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
aniked [119]

1) At the moment of being at the top, the piston will not only tend to push the penny up but will also descend at a faster rate at which the penny can reach in 'free fall', in that short distance. Therefore, at the highest point, the penny will lose contact with the piston. Therefore the correct answer is C.

2) To solve this problem we will apply the equations related to the simple harmonic movement, hence we have that the acceleration can be defined as

a = -\omega^2 A

Where,

a = Acceleration

A = Amplitude

\omega= Angular velocity

From a reference system in which the downward acceleration is negative due to the force of gravity we will have to

a = -g

-\omega^2 A = -g

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

From the definition of frequency and angular velocity we have to

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{A}}

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{4*10^{-2}}}

f = 2.5Hz

Therefore the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle is 2.5Hz

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.
