You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 20°. You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Pet

er, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.1 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.2 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him.
If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.53, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?

Answer:

vi = 3.95 m/s

Explanation:

We can apply the Work-Energy Theorem as follows:

W = ΔE = Ef - Ei

W = - Ff*d

then

Ef - Ei = - Ff*d   <em> </em>

If

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*m*vi² + m*g*hi = 0.5*m*vi² + m*g*hi = m*(0.5*vi² + g*hi)

hi = d*Sin 20º = 5.1 m * Sin 20º = 1.7443 m

Ef = Kf + Uf = 0 + 0 = 0

As we know,   vf = 0  ⇒ Kf = 0

Uf = 0  since hf = 0

we get

W = ΔE = Ef - Ei = 0 - m*(0.5*vi² + g*hi)  ⇒   W = - m*(0.5*vi² + g*hi)   <em> (I)</em>

<em />

If

W = - Ff*d = - μ*N*d = - μ*(m*g*Cos 20º)*d = -  μ*m*g*Cos 20º*d    <em>(II)</em>

<em />

we can say that

<em />

- m*(0.5*vi² + g*hi) = -  μ*m*g*Cos 20º*d  

⇒ vi = √(2*g*(μ*Cos 20º*d - hi))  

⇒ vi = √(2*(9.81 m/s2)*(0.53*Cos 20º*5.1m - 1.7443 m)) = 3.95 m/s

<em />

We have no way to say what the illustration represents, mainly because
you haven't given us a way to see the illustration.

A visitor to a lighthouse wishes to determine the height of the tower. She ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simp
masha68 [24]

To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Where

l = Length

g = Gravity

Re-arrange to find L,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

Our values are given as

g = 9.81m/s

T = 10.1s

Replacing,

L = g (\frac{T}{2\pi})^2

L = (9.81) (\frac{10.1}{2\pi})^2

L = 25.348m

Therefore the height would be 25.348m

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
