You are trying to hold your 550 g physics books with your hand against a vertical wall. Using a force sensor you know that the f

orce you are applying is 10.0 N. Below the book on the floor you have placed a motion sensor. The position time graph for the book is given. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answer:

Above answer

Explanation:

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction parallel to the surface is

∑ F = 10.0 N - n = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

∑ F = f - (0.550 kg) g = 0

where f is the mag. of kinetic friction, and f = µn where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

• n = 10.0 N

• f = (0.550 kg) g = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = µ (10.0 N)

==>   µ = 0.539

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction <u>parallel</u> to the surface is

∑ <em>F</em> = 10.0 N - <em>n</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>f</em> - (0.550 kg) <em>g</em> = 0

where <em>f</em> is the mag. of kinetic friction, and <em>f</em> = <em>µn</em> where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

• <em>n</em> = 10.0 N

• <em>f</em> = (0.550 kg) <em>g</em> = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = <em>µ</em> (10.0 N)

==>   <em>µ</em> = 0.539

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

Does a race car driver need a faster reaction time then someone driving in a school zone explain your answer
rosijanka [135]
Answer:
Yes, the race car driver needs a faster reaction time than someone driving in a school zone.

Explanation.
For the sake of argument, let us consider
(i) a person driving at 35 mph in a school zone (as a normal driver);
(ii) a person driving at 60 mph in a school zone (as a racing driver).

Suppose a blind pedestrian crosses the road 0.1 miles (about 500 feet)  in front of the driver.
The time before the normal driver hits the pedestrian is
(0.1 /35)*3600 =  10.3 seconds.
The time before the racing driver hits the pedestrian is
(0.1/60)*3600 = 6 seconds.

Because a reaction time of 6 seconds may be insufficient to avoid hitting the pedestrian, the racing driver needs a faster reaction time than the normal driver.
