The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If

the train is initially moving at a speed of 49.0 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 2.50×10^-10m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
katrin [286]

To solve this exercise, we will first proceed to calculate the electric force given by the charge between the proton and the electron (it). From the Force we will use Newton's second law that will allow us to find the acceleration of objects. The Coulomb force between two charges is given as

F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge of proton and electron

r = Distance

Replacing we have that,

F = (9*10^9)(\frac{(1.602*10^{-19})^2}{2.5*10^{-10}})

F = 3.6956*10^{-9}N

The force between the electron and proton is calculated. From Newton's third law the force exerted by the electron on proton is same as the force exerted by the proton on electron.

The acceleration of the electron is given as

a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}

a_e = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{9.11*10^{-31}}

a_e = 4.0566*10^{21}m/s^2

The acceleration of the proton is given as,

a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}

a_p = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{1.672*10^{-27}}

a_p = 2.21*10^{18}m/s^2

A mass m = 75 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.2 m and finally
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The velocity is 19.39 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 75 kg

Radius, R = 19.2 m

Now,

When the mass is at the top position in the loop, then the necessary centrifugal force is to keep the mass on the path is provided by the gravitational force acting downwards.

F_{C} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = mg

where

v = velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.2} = 19.39\ m/s

tester [92]
Well, if the bag is moving across the floor at a constant velocity. Then I would assume that the Fnet force is equal to 0, and thus the value of acceleration would also be equal to 0.
