Starting from rest on a frictionless floor you move 160 kg crate accelerated by a net force of 60N applied for 4s. Enter units f

or acceleration as m/s^2.
What is the acceleration of the crate from Newton’s 2nd law?

If it starts from rest, how far does it travel in time of 4 s?

How much work is done by the 60N net force?

What is the velocity of the crate at the end of 4s?

What is the kinetic energy of the crate at this time?

1. Acceleration: 0.375 m/s^2

Newton's second law states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:

F = ma

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the crate in this problem we have

F = 60 N

m = 160 kg

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the acceleration of the crate:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{60 N}{160 kg}=0.375 m/s^2

2. Distance: 3 m

For this problem we can use the following SUVAT equation:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

S is the distance travelled by the crate

u = 0 is the initial velocity, since it starts from rest

t = 4 s is the time elapsed

a=0.375 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting all numbers into the equation,

S=0+\frac{1}{2}(0.375)(4)^2=3 m

3. Work done: 180 J

The work done by a force, assuming that the force is parallel to the displacement of the object, is given by

W = F d

where

W is the work done

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

Here we have

F = 60 N

d = 3 m

So the work done is

W=(60 N)(3 m)=180 J

4. Final velocity: 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the crate can be found by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 = u^2 +2ad

where here

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=0.375 m/s^2 is the acceleration

d = 3 m is the distance covered

Substituting all the numbers that we have, we found:

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2ad}=\sqrt{0^2+2(0.375)(3)}=1.5 m/s

5. Kinetic energy: 180 J

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity

Here we have

m = 160 kg is the mass of the crate

v = 1.5 m/s is its final velocity

So the kinetic energy of the crate is

K=\frac{1}{2}(160)(1.5)^2=180 J

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is v= 0.868 m/s

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is  a = 4.057 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the uniform disk is m_d = 40.0kg

       The radius of the uniform disk is R_d = 0.200m

       The force applied on the disk is F_d = 30.0N

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

             w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Where \theta is the angular displacement given from the question as

           \theta  = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}

                 =1.257\  rad

   \alpha is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                    \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

    The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

                     I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d

Substituting values

                    I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2

                        = 0.8kg \cdot m^2

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

               \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

Substituting values

               \alph\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}

                   = 7.5 rad/s^2

Considering the equation for angular velocity

    w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Substituting values

     w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}

         = 4.34 \ rad/s

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

                 v = R_d w

Substituting values

                    = (0.200)(4.34)

                     v= 0.868 m/s

The radial acceleration at hat point  is mathematically represented as

            \alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}

                  = \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}

                 = 3.7699 \ m/s^2

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

               \alpha _t = R \alpha

Substituting values

           \alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)

                 = 1.5 m/s^2

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

                 a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }

Substituting values

                a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}

                   a = 4.057 m/s^2

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.
