Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Recall that the force of static friction is the product of the coefficient of static friction between surface and object, times the force applied perpendicular to the surface.

In our case, that perpendicular force has magnitude equal to the centripetal acceleration times the mass m of the block. The centripetal acceleration is defined as the quotient between the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius at which the rotating mass is located (in our case R).

In order to estimate the tangential velocity given the angular velocity ω, we simply multiply it by R:  

v_t=\omega\,R

and therefore the force acting on the surface of the cylinder is:

F=m\,*\,a_c=m\,*\,\frac{v_t^2}{R} =m\,*\, \frac{\omega^2\,R^2}{R} =m\,*\,\omega^2\,*R

The force of friction between the block and the inner wall of the hollow cylinder will then be:  f=\mu\, *\,m\,*\omega^2\,*\,R

In order for this force of static friction to be able to prevent the mass to slide down due to gravity, we need that the friction force is at least equal to the gravitational force. That is:

f\geq F_g\\f\geq m\,*\,g\\\mu\,*\,m\,*\,\omega^2\,*\,R\geq m\,*\,g\\\mu\geq \frac{g}{\omega^2\,*\,R}

A car accelerates from 20mi/hr to 60mi/hr. How many times greater is the car's kinetic energy at the higher speed compared to th
Ainat [17]

Answer:

9 times

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

When we triple the velocity, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of 9.

9KE = ½ m(3v)²

An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small

Test Due! Which statement is true?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct answer is C. Mercury and Mars have the same gravitational force

Explanation:

This chart compares the different features of two planets in our solar system (Mercury and Mars). In this chart, the only numerical value or feature that is the same for both planets is gravity because for both planets gravity is 1.7 m/s2. This implies the gravitational force or the force that attracts objects towards the center of the planet is the same or that objects are pulled with the same force in both planets. Moreover, this factor depends on others such as mass, density, among others.

How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 4.57×10−21 n
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

891 excess electrons must be present on each sphere

Explanation:

One Charge = q1 = q

Force = F = 4.57*10^-21 N  

Other charge = q2 =q

Distance = r = 20 cm = 0.2 m  

permittivity of free space = eo =8.854×10−12 C^2/ (N.m^2)  

Using Coulomb's law,

F=[1/4pieo]q1q2/r^2

F = [1/4pieo]q^2 / r^2

q^2 =F [4pieo]r^2

q =  r*sq rt F[4pieo]

 q=0.2* sq rt[ 4.57 x 10^-21]*[4*3.1416*8.854*10^-12]

q = 1.42614*10^ -16 C

number of electrons = n = q/e=1.42614*10^ -16 /1.6*10^-19

n =891

 891 excess electrons must be present on each sphere

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4
