Answer:

44.6 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are four forces on the block:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force F pulling right 30° above horizontal.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + F sin 30° − mg = 0

N = mg − F sin 30°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° − Nμ = 0

F cos 30° = Nμ

N = F cos 30° / μ

Substitute:

mg − F sin 30° = F cos 30° / μ

mg = F sin 30° + (F cos 30° / μ)

Plug in values:

mg = 20 N sin 30° + (20 N cos 30° / 0.5)

mg = 44.6 N

Answer:

24.64N

Explanation:

The force inclined at 30° exerted on the block has two components the horizontal and vertical components .

The vertical component force is ;

FsinA; where A is angle of inclination.

20sin30° = 10N

The horizontal component is ;

20cos30° = 17.32N

Now the normal reaction is a vertical upward force acting opposite to the weight.

Note also that for the body to slide it has to overcome a limiting Frictional force and this force must be 17.32N since it's this horizontal component that makes the body slide.

We can then go on to compute the normal reaction from the coefficient of friction formula given as;

Limiting Frictional Force/ Normal reaction

By change of subject formula;

Normal reaction = Limiting frictional force /coefficient of friction

By substituting the equivalent values of limiting Frictional force and coefficient of friction, we have:

17.32N/0.5 = 34.64N

Now since the object didn't fall downwards it means the sum of upward force is the same as the sum of down ward force.

The downward forces are the weight of the object and the vertical component of the applied force when the normal reaction is the upward force.

Expressed mathematically, we have:

34.64= 10 + weight of object

Hence weight of object = 34.64-10= 24.64N

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th
aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle

Substituting,

u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th
attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

For fully developed laminar pipe flow in a circular pipe, the velocity profile is u(r) = 2(1-r2 /R2 ) in m/s, where R is the inn
sdas [7]

Answer:

a) v_{max} = 2\ \textup{m/s}

b) v_{avg} = 1\ \textup{m/s}

c) Q = 1.256 × 10⁻³ m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

The velocity profile as:

u(r) = 2(1-\frac{r^2}{R^2} )

Now, the maximum velocity of the flow is obtained at the center of the pipe

i.e r = 0

thus,

v_{max}=u(0) = 2(1-\frac{0^2}{R^2} )

or

v_{max} = 2\ \textup{m/s}

Now,

v_{avg} = \frac{v_{max}}{2}\ \textup{m/s}

or

v_{avg} = \frac{2}}{2}\ \textup{m/s}

or

v_{avg} = 1\ \textup{m/s}

Now, the flow rate is given as:

Q = Area of cross-section of pipe × v_{avg}

or

Q = \frac{\pi D^2}{4}\times v_{avg}

or

Q = \frac{\pi 0.04^2}{4}\times 1

or

Q = 1.256 × 10⁻³ m³/s
