A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

looks like this group varied the amount of mass sitting on the block with each trial - this is not recommended). Nonetheless, what is their average coefficient of static friction?
Trial Mass of block (g) Hanging mass (kg)
1 105 0.053
2 165 0.081
3 220 0.118
4 280 0.149
5 315 0.180
6 385 0.198

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

= 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = $\frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}$

= $\frac{0.779}{6}$

= 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel

taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is $\frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}$

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

$V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Similar is the case with plate B:

$V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

$V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}$

$V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}$

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is $\frac{d}{2}$ .

Electric Field at plate A, $\vec{E_{A}}$ at midway due to charge q:

$\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Similarly, for plate B:

$\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

lana [24]

Answer:

2560J

Explanation:

By definition the kinetic energy can be calculated in the following way:

K = (mv²)/2 = 80kg·(8.0m/s)²/2 = 2560 J

Kyle is flying a helicopter at 125 m/s on a heading of 325 o . If a wind is blowing at 25 m/s toward a direction of 240.0 o , wh

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the resulting velocity of the helicopter ( $\vec v_{H}$ ), measured in meters per second, is equal to the absolute velocity of the wind ( $\vec v_{W}$ ), measured in meters per second, plus the velocity of the helicopter relative to wind ( $\vec v_{H/W}$ ), also call velocity at still air, measured in meters per second. That is:

$\vec v_{H} = \vec v_{W}+\vec v_{H/W}$ (1)

In addition, vectors in rectangular form are defined by the following expression:

$\vec v = \|\vec v\| \cdot (\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha)$ (2)

Where:

$\|\vec v\|$ - Magnitude, measured in meters per second.

$\alpha$ - Direction angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Then, (1) is expanded by applying (2):

$\vec v_{H} = \|\vec v_{W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{W},\sin \alpha_{W}) +\|\vec v_{H/W}\| \cdot (\cos \alpha_{H/W},\sin \alpha_{H/W})$ (3)

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \cos \alpha_{H/W}, \|\vec v_{W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{W}+\|\vec v_{H/W}\|\cdot \sin \alpha_{H/W} \right)$

If we know that $\|\vec v_{W}\| = 25\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\|\vec v_{H/W}\| = 125\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $\alpha_{W} = 240^{\circ}$ and $\alpha_{H/W} = 325^{\circ}$ , then the resulting velocity of the helicopter is:

$\vec v_{H} = \left(\left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 325^{\circ}, \left(25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 240^{\circ}+\left(125\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 325^{\circ}\right)$ $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$

The resultant velocity of the helicopter is $\vec v_{H} = \left(89.894\,\frac{m}{s}, -93.348\,\frac{m}{s}\right)$ .
