A spring with an 8-kg mass is kept stretched 0.4 m beyond its natural length by a force of 32 N. The spring starts at its equili
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Explanation:

Assume that the general equation of the displacement given as

x = A sinω t

A=Amplitude ,t=time ,ω=natural frequency

We know that speed V

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V= A ω cosωt

Maximum velocity

V(max)= Aω

Given that F= 32 N

F = K Δ

K=Spring constant

Δ = 0.4 m

32 =0.4 K

K = 80 N/m

We know that  ω²m = K

8 ω² = 80

ω = 3.16 s⁻¹

Given that V(max)= Aω = 4 m/s

3.16 A = 4

A= 1.26 m

Therefore the general equation of displacement

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Why is the escape speed for a spacecraft independent of the spacecraft's mass?
scoray [572]
In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s  or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.

Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as conductivity.
Musya8 [376]


True.

Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.

A physical property is one which can be measured  or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.

Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.

A copper wire is still  a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still  an aluminum rod during the whole process.

A 54 kg person stands on a uniform 20 kg, 4.1 m long ladder resting against a frictionless wall.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A) Force of the wall on the ladder: 186.3 N

B) Normal force of the ground on the ladder: 725.2 N

C) Minimum value of the coefficient of friction: 0.257

D) Minimum absolute value of the coefficient of friction: 0.332

Explanation:

a)

The free-body diagram of the problem is in attachment (please rotate the picture 90 degrees clockwise). We have the following forces:

W=mg: weight of the ladder, with m = 20 kg (mass) and g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

W_M=Mg: weight of the person, with M = 54 kg (mass)

N_1: normal reaction exerted by the wall on the ladder

N_2: normal reaction exerted by the floor on the ladder

F_f = \mu N_2: force of friction between the floor and the ladder, with \mu (coefficient of friction)

Also we have:

L = 4.1 m (length of the ladder)

d = 3.0 m (distance of the man from point A)

Taking the equilibrium of moments about point A:

W\frac{L}{2}sin 21^{\circ}+W_M dsin 21^{\circ} = N_1 Lsin 69^{\circ}

where

Wsin 21^{\circ} is the component of the weight of the ladder perpendicular to the ladder

W_M sin 21^{\circ} is the component of the weight of the man perpendicular to the ladder

N_1 sin 69^{\circ} is the component of the normal  force perpendicular to the ladder

And solving for N_1, we find the force exerted by the wall on the ladder:

N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{mg}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+Mg\frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{(20)(9.8)}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+(54)(9.8)\frac{3.0}{4.1}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=186.3 N

B)

Here we want to find the magnitude of the normal force of the ground on the ladder, therefore the magnitude of N_2.

We can do it by writing the equation of equilibrium of the forces along the vertical direction: in fact, since the ladder is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting in the vertical direction must be zero.

Therefore, we have:

\sum F_y = 0\\N_2 - W - W_M =0

And substituting and solving for N2, we find:

N_2 = W+W_M = mg+Mg=(20)(9.8)+(54)(9.8)=725.2 N

C)

Here we have to find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slip.

The ladder does not slip if there is equilibrium in the horizontal direction also: that means, if the sum of the forces acting in the horizontal direction is zero.

Therefore, we can write:

\sum F_x = 0\\F_f - N_1 = 0

And re-writing the equation,

\mu N_2 -N_1 = 0\\\mu = \frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{186.3}{725.2}=0.257

So, the minimum value of the coefficient of friction is 0.257.

D)

Here we want to find the minimum coefficient of friction so the ladder does not slip for any location of the person on the ladder.

From part C), we saw that the coefficient of friction can be written as

\mu = \frac{N_1}{N_2}

This ratio is maximum when N1 is maximum. From part A), we see that the expression for N1 was

N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{d}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}

We see that this quantity is maximum when d is maximum, so when

d = L

Which corresponds to the case in which the man stands at point B, causing the maximum torque about point A. In this case, the value of N1 is:

N_1 = \frac{W}{2}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}+W_M \frac{L}{L}\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}=\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}(\frac{W}{2}+W_M)

And substituting, we get

N_1=\frac{sin 21^{\circ}}{sin 69^{\circ}}(\frac{(20)(9.8)}{2}+(54)(9.8))=240.8 N

And therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction in order for the ladder not to slip is

\mu=\frac{N_1}{N_2}=\frac{240.8}{725.2}=0.332
