Jonah is trying to move his 22-kg desk by pushing on it with a force of 130 N, but his brother is leaning on it with a downward

force of 24 N, just preventing it from moving. What is the coefficient of static friction between the desk and the floor?

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are 5 forces on the desk:

Weight force mg pulling down

Applied force 24 N pushing down

Normal force Fn pushing up

Applied force 130 N pushing right

Friction force Fnμ pushing left

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg − 24 = 0

Fn = mg + 24

Fn = (22)(9.8) + 24

Fn = 240

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

130 − Fnμ = 0

Fnμ = 130

μ = 130 / Fn

μ = 130 / 240

μ = 0.54

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

m = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

q = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

\Delta V =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

v = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}

r = Radius of the path followed by ion

B = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm
