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

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

b $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

substituting values given in the question

=> $k = \frac{16}{0.2}$

=> $k = 80 \ N /m$

Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

A scientist collected the following data, which show how the pressure of water vapor changes with temperature.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Make a graph for better visual representation.

Explanation:

Presenting data like that would require someone to see the increase. The best way would be a graph to be shown, to really show the impact by the line going up in the graph.

Suppose you are asked to find the amount of time t, in seconds, it takes for the turntable to reach its final rotational speed.

Annette [7]

Answer:

option (D)

Explanation:

Here initial rotation speed is given, final rotation speed is given and asking for time.

If we use

A) θ=θ0+ω0t+(1/2)αt2

For this equation, we don't have any information about the value of angular displacement and angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

B) ω=ω0+αt

For this equation, we don't have any information about angular acceleration, so it is not useful.

C) ω2=ω02+2α(θ−θ0)

In this equation, time is not included, so it is not useful.

D) So, more information is needed.

Thus, option (D) is true.

9. When considering a magnet's force of attraction over a known distance, you would expect the strength of attraction 4 inches a

slavikrds [6]

Answer: B. 16 times

Explanation:

The mathematic expression for a magnetic force $F_{M}$ between two magnets is:

$F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$K_{M}$ is a constant

${m_{1}$ and ${m_{2}$ are the magnetic charges, which depends on the size of each magnet

$r$ is the distance beteween both magnets

As we can see, this force in inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that if we increase the distance, the magnetic force will decrease.

Now, if we increase this value by 4 inches from 1 inch:

$F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{{(4)}^{2}}$ (2)

$F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{16}$ (3)

This means the strength of attraction will be 16 times weaker.

What are the two main forces in a star

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The mass of a star causes gravitational pull inwards. The fusion of hydrogen to helium create temperature and pressure which pushes outwards, so basically the forces of gravity and pressure. Possibly nuclear fusion.
