You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at constant speed. You decide to turn the crate on end, reducing by half the sur

face area in contact with the floor. In the new orientation, to push the same crate across the same floor with the same speed, the force that you apply must be aboutA. Four times as greatB. Twice as greatC. Equally greatD. Half as greatE. One-fourth as greatas the force required before you changed the crate's orientation.

Answer:

D. Half as great

Explanation:

Since we know that the friction force between the surface of crate and ground is given as

F_f = \mu F_n

so here we know that

\mu = friction coefficient between two surfaces which depends on the effective contact area between two surfaces

F_n = normal force due to the object

So when we turn the object on another side such that the surface area is half then the friction coefficient will become also half

So here the friction force will also reduce to half

so correct answer will be

D. Half as great

A ball is thrown straight up with a velocity of 50 m/s.(use g = -10 m/s^2) a) What is the velocity in m/s after 2 seconds?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(a) 30 m/sec

(b) -50 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of ball u = 50 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=-10m/sec^2

(a) Time t = 2 sec

Now according to first equation of v = u-gt

So v=50-10×2=30 m/sec

(b) Time t = 10 sec

Now according to first equation of motion

So final velocity v = u-gt = 50-10×10 =-50 m/sec

If a wave hits a smooth surface at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees, the angle of reflection is
dem82 [27]
As the surface given is a smooth surface, we can use specular reflection. According to the law of specular reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, so it will also be 40°. Answer is A.

Answer:

A) v₁ = 10.1 m/s t₁= 4.0 s

B) x₂= 17.2 m

C) v₂=7.1 m/s

D) x₂=7.5 m

Explanation:

A)

  • Assuming no friction, total mechanical energy must keep constant, so the following is always true:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = (K_{f} - K_{o}) +( U_{f} - U_{o}) = 0  (1)

  • Choosing the ground level as our zero reference level, Uf =0.
  • Since the child starts from rest, K₀ = 0.
  • From (1), ΔU becomes:
  • \Delta U = 0- m*g*h = -m*g*h (2)  
  • In the same way, ΔK becomes:
  • \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^{2}  (3)      
  • Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), and simplifying, we get:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{1}^{2}  = g*h  (4)

  • In order to find v₁, we need first to find h, the height of the slide.
  • From the definition of sine of an angle, taking the slide as a right triangle, we can find the height h, knowing the distance that the child slides down the slope, x₁, as follows:

       h = x_{1} * sin \theta_{1} = 20.0 m * sin 15 = 5.2 m (5)

       Replacing (5) in (4) and solving for v₁, we get:

      v_{1} = \sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8m/s2*5.2m} = 10.1 m/s  (6)

  • As this speed is achieved when all the energy is kinetic, i.e. at the bottom of the first slide, this is the answer we were looking for.
  • Now, in order to finish A) we need to find the time that the child used to reach to that point, since she started to slide at the its top.
  • We can do this in more than one way, but a very simple one is using kinematic equations.
  • If we assume that the acceleration is constant (which is true due the child is only accelerated by gravity), we can use the following equation:

       v_{1}^{2} - v_{o}^{2} = 2*a* x_{1}  (7)

  • Since v₀ = 0 (the child starts from rest) we can solve for a:

       a = \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2*x_{1} } = \frac{(10.1m/s)^{2}}{2* 20.0m} = 2.6 m/s2  (8)

  • Since v₀ = 0, applying the definition of acceleration, if we choose t₀=0, we can find t as follows:

       t_{1} =\frac{v_{1} }{a} =\frac{10.1m/s}{2.6m/s2} = 4.0 s  (9)

B)

  • Since we know the initial speed for this part, the acceleration, and the time, we can use the kinematic equation for displacement, as follows:

       x_{2} = v_{1} * t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2}*t_{2}^{2}  (10)

  • Replacing the values of v₁ = 10.1 m/s, t₂= 2.0s and a₂=-1.5m/s2 in (10):

       x_{2} = 10.1m/s * 2.0s + \frac{1}{2} *(-1.5m/s2)*(2.0s)^{2}  = 17.2 m (11)

C)  

  • From (6) and (8), applying the definition for acceleration, we can find the speed of the child whem she started up the second slope, as follows:

       v_{2} = v_{1} + a_{2} *t_{2} = 10.1m/s - 1.5m/s2*2.0s = 7.1 m/s (12)

D)

  • Assuming no friction, all the kinetic energy when she started to go up the second slope, becomes gravitational potential energy when she reaches to the maximum height (her speed becomes zero at that point), so we can write the following equation:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{2}^{2}  = g*h_{2}   (13)

  • Replacing from (12) in (13), we can solve for h₂:

       h_{2} =\frac{v_{2} ^{2}}{2*g} = \frac{(7.1m/s) ^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2} = 2.57 m  (14)

  • Since we know that the slide makes an angle of 20º with the horizontal, we can find the distance traveled up the slope applying the definition of sine of an angle, as follows:

       x_{3} = \frac{h_{2} }{sin 20} = \frac{2.57m}{0.342} = 7.5 m (15)
