A horizontal force, F1 = 65 N, and a force, F2 = 12.4 N acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal, are applied to a block of mas

s m = 3.1 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is μk = 0.2. The block is moving to the right.
Part (a) Solve numerically for the magnitude of the normal force, FN in Newtons, that acts on the block if θ = 30°.t Part (b) Solve numerically for the magnitude of acceleration of the block, a in m/s2, if θ = 30°.

Answer:

(a) FN = 24.18 N

(b) a = 22.87 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of the  block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Forces acting on the box

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block on the surface   and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

F₁ : Horizontal force

F₂ : acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal,

W: Weight of the block  : In vertical direction

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the direction the surface

fk : Friction force: parallel to the direction to the surface

Known data

m =3.1 kg : mass of the  block

F₁ = 65 N,  horizontal force

F₂ = 12.4 N acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal

θ = 30° angle θ of F₂ with respect to the horizontal

μk = 0.2 : coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Calculated of the weight  of the block

W= m*g  = (3.1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 30.38 N

x-y F₂ components

F₂x = F₂cos θ= (12.4)*cos(30)° = 10.74 N

F₂y = F₂sin θ= (12.4)*sin(30)° = 6.2 N

a)Calculated of the Normal force  (FN)

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

FN+6.2-30.38 = 0

FN = -6.2+30.38

FN = 24.18 N

Calculated of the Friction force:

fk=μk*N=  0.2* 24.18 N = 4.836 N

b) We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

F₁ + F₂x -fk = ( m)*a

65 N + 10.74 -4.836 = ( 3.1)*a

70.904 = ( 3.1)*a

a = (70.904 ) / ( 3.1)

a = 22.87 m/s²

Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m

How do we find an atom's mass number?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.
