An object sits at the edge of a table top with a mass of 180 kg. It is connected by a magical physics thread to a mass of 250 kg

via a pulley which is hanging in the air below the edge of the table top. There is an unknown amount of friction between the 180 kg mass and the table. The entire thing is accelerating at 2 m/s/s towards the edge of the table (250 kg mass is moving down).
What is the force of friction?
What is the coefficient of friction?

Answer:

Force of Friction = 1640 N

Coefficient of friction = 0.911

Explanation:

forces act on the objects as shown in the graph.

Fx=Foroce of friction

T=tension of the thread

R=Normal Force(R=1800N)

μ= friction coefficient

a=acceleration = 2ms^{-2}

applying F=ma to 250kg object downwards

F=m*a\\2500-T=250*2\\T=2000N

applying F=ma to 180kg object rightwards

F=m*a\\\\T-F_x=m*a\\2000-F_x=180*2\\F_x=1640N

According to Frictional Force Formula,

F_x=μ*R

1640=μ*1800

μ=0.911

In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.14 m/s . A served tennis ball is typically in contact with
Dominik [7]

Answer:

2.286 km/s²

Explanation:

Since acceleration a = (v - u)/t where u = initial horizontal velocity of ball = 0 m/s (since it starts from rest), v = final horizontal velocity of ball at serve = 73.14 m/s and t = time taken for serve = 32.0 ms = 0.032 s

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = (v - u)/t

a = (73.14 m/s - 0 m/s)/0.032 s

a = 73.14 m/s/0.032 s

a =  2285.625 m/s²

a = 2.285625 km/s²

a ≅ 2.286 km/s²

So, the x - component of the ball's acceleration during the serve is 2.286 km/s²

coldgirl [10]
The radar device determines the vehicle's instantaneous speed.

I would argue that the purpose of the device is not to determine
whether individuals are driving safely.  They only determine whether
individuals are driving within legal speed limits.  There's much more
to 'safe' driving than that, but the radar gun can't detect it.

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

A 1.10 μF capacitor is connected in series with a 1.92 μF capacitor. The 1.10 μF capacitor carries a charge of +10.1 μC on one p
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

(a). The potential on the negative plate is 42.32 V.

(b). The equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors is 0.69 μF.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = 10.1 μC

Capacitor C₁ = 1.10 μF

Capacitor C₂ = 1.92 μF

Capacitor C₃ = 1.10 μF

Potential V₁ = 51.5 V

Let V₁ and V₂ be the potentials on the two plates of the capacitor.

(a). We need to calculate the potential on the negative plate of the 1.10 μF capacitor

Using formula of potential difference

V_{1}=\dfrac{Q}{C_{1}}

Put the value into the formula

V_{1}=\dfrac{10.1 \times10^{-6}}{1.10\times10^{-6}}

V_{1}=9.18\ V

The potential on the second plate

V_{2}=V-V_{1}

V_{2}=51.5 -9.18

V_{2}=42.32\ v

(b). We need to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors

Using formula of equivalent capacitance

C=\dfrac{C_{1}\timesC_{2}}{C_{1}+C_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

C=\dfrac{1.10\times10^{-6}\times1.92\times10^{-6}}{(1.10+1.92)\times10^{-6}}

C=6.99\times10^{-7}\ F

C=0.69\ \mu F

Hence, (a). The potential on the negative plate is 42.32 V.

(b). The equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors is 0.69 μF.
