A large flat block of mass 7 m rests on a level, smooth tabletop (µk ≈ 0). On top of it is a much smaller block of mass m, with

a coefficient of static friction between the two blocks of µs. If the small block is pulled horizontally with constant force F, we want both blocks to slide together across the table without slipping on each other.
What is the largest acceleration that the system can be given in terms of µs and g?
1. F − µs g/ 8
2. F /8 m
3. µs g /7
4. µs g
5. 7 µs g /8
6. 8 µs g

Answer:

3. µs g /7

Explanation:

The largest Force appear when the maximal friction Force is required.

Second Newton law for the small block:

F_friction=u_s*N=u_s*(mg)

F-F_friction=ma

F-u_s*(mg)=ma

Second Newton law for the Big Block:

F_friction=7ma

u_s*(mg)=7ma

a=u_s*g/7

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the time needed for her to close the door is 1.36 s.

Explanation:

given information:

Force, F = 220 N

width, r = 1.40 m

weight, W = 790 N

height, h = 3.00 m

angle, θ = 90° = π/2

to find the times needed to close the door we can use the following equation

θ = ω₀t + 1/2 αt²

where

θ = angle

ω = angular velocity

α = angular acceleration

t = time

in this case, the angular velocity is zero. thus,

θ = 1/2 αt²

now, we can find the angular speed by using the torque formula

τ = I α

where

τ = torque

I = Inertia

we know that

τ = F r

and

I = 1/3 mr²

so,

τ = I α

F r = 1/3 mr² α

α = 3 F/mr

  = 3 F/(w/g)r

  = 3 (220)/(790/9.8) 1.4

  = 5.85 rad/s²

θ = 1/2 αt²

π/2 = 1/2 5.85 t²

t = 1.36 s

How is this formula ( Rt= r1 x r2 / r1 + r2) which is used to calculate total resistance of two parallel resistors found from th
Maru [420]

Explanation:

The total resistance used to calculate the total resistance of the two parallel resistor is given by :

R_t=\dfrac{r_1\times r_2}{r_1+r_2}

Taking reciprocal of the above equation.

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1+r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

We can also write the above equation as :

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_1\times r_2}+\dfrac{r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

On simplification of above equation,

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_2}+\dfrac{1}{r_1}

or

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_1}+\dfrac{1}{r_2}

Hence, proved.

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 23 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
Reptile [31]

Question:

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 15 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm².)

Answer:

3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

The drift velocity (v) of the electrons in a wire (copper wire in this case) carrying current (I) is given by;

v = \frac{I}{nqA}

Where;

n = number of free electrons per cubic meter

q =  electron charge

A =  cross-sectional area of the wire

<em>First let's calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter (n)</em>

Known constants:

density of copper, ρ = 8.95 x 10³kg/m³

molar mass of copper, M = 63.5 x 10⁻³kg/mol

Avogadro's number, Nₐ = 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mol

But;

The number of copper atoms, N, per cubic meter is given by;

N = (Nₐ x ρ / M)          -------------(ii)

<em>Substitute the values of Nₐ, ρ and M into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

N = (6.02 x 10²³ x 8.95 x 10³) / 63.5 x 10⁻³

N = 8.49 x 10²⁸ atom/m³

Since there is one free electron per copper atom, the number of free electrons per cubic meter is simply;

n = 8.49 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³

<em>Now let's calculate the drift electron</em>

Known values from question:

A = 5.261 mm² = 5.261 x 10⁻⁶m²

I = 23A

q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

v = \frac{I}{nqA}

v = \frac{23}{8.49*10^{28} * 1.6 *10^{-19} * 5.261*10^{-6}}

v = 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

Therefore, the drift electron is 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

An 800-W heater raises the temperature of 4 kg of soup by 40 °C in 13 minutes.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Q=0.16*c kJ

Explanation:

Heat transfer and energy changes is related by the equation

Q=mcΔT

where

Q=heat transfer

m=mass of substance

c=specific heat of the material

ΔT= change in temperature

Given

m= 4 kg

c=c

ΔT=40° C

Q=4*c*40

Q=160c

Q=160/1000*c kJ

Q=0.16*c kJ
