A small block of mass m1 = 0.4 kg is placed on a long slab of mass m2 = 2.8 kg. Initially, the slab is stationary and the block

moves at a speed of vo = 3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the slab is 0.15 and there is no friction between the slab and the surface on which it moves.
Determine the speed v1.

Determine the distance traveled by the slab before it reaches the speed v1.

Answer:

v₁ = 0.375 m / s ,   x = 0.335 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.

We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.

initial moment. Right at the start of the movement

       p₀ = m v₀ + 0

final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium

      p_{f} = (m + M) v₁

how the forces are internal

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v₀ = (m + M) v₁

       v₁ = m /m+M    v₀

let's calculate

       v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8)  3

       v₁ = 0.375 m / s

 

Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force

Y axis

       N - W = 0

       N = W

       N = m g

where m is the mass of the block

the friction force has the formula

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ m g

We apply Newton's second law to slab    

X axis

       fr = M a

where M is the mass of the slab

       μ m g = M a

       a = μ g m / M

let's calculate

       a = 0.15  9.8  0.4 / 2.8

       a = 0.21 m / s²

With kinematics we can find the position

       v²= v₀²+2 a x

as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

       v² = 2 a x

       x = v2 / 2a

let's calculate

        x = 0.375²/2 0.21

        x = 0.335 m

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 3.90 10-6 m2 carries a current of 6.00 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given: A = 3.90×10⁻⁶ m², I = 6.00 A, ρ = 2.70 g/cm³

To find:

Drift Velocity Vd=?

Solution:

the formula is Vd = I/nqA         (n is the number of charge per unit volume)

n = No. of electron in a mole ( Avogadro's No.) / Volume

Volume = Molar mass / density   ( molar mass of Al =27 g)

V = 27 g / 2.70 g/cm³ = 10 cm³ = 1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³

n= (6.02 × 10 ²³) / (1 × 10 ⁻⁵ m³)

n= 6.02 × 10 ²⁸

Now

Vd = (6A) / (  6.02 × 10 ²⁸ ×  1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ×  3.9×10⁻⁶ m²)

Vd = 1.597 ×10⁻⁴ m/s

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane m=1400\ kg

distance moved d=40\ m

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

W_T=T\cdot d

W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40

W_T=548.8\ KJ

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

W_T+W_g=0

W_g=-548.8\ KJ

Find the value of currents through each branch
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

Explanation:

You can write the KVL equations:

Top left loop:

  I2(4) +(I2 +I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Bottom left loop:

  (I1-I2)(4) +(I1-I2-I3)(2) +I1(1) = 10

Right loop:

  (I2+I3)(2) +(I2+I3-I1)(2) = 5

In matrix form, the equations are ...

  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6&2\\7&-6&-2\\-2&4&4\end{array}\right]\cdot\left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}10\\10\\5\end{array}\right]

These equations have the solution ...

  \left[\begin{array}{c}I_1\\I_2\\I_3\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}2.500\\0.625\\1.875\end{array}\right]

This means the branch currents are as follows:

  top left: I2 = 0.625 A

  middle left: I1 = 2.500 A

  bottom left: I1-I2 = 1.875 A

  top center: I2+I3 = 2.500 A

  bottom center: I2+I3-I1 = 0 A

  right: I3 = 1.875 A

This can be worked almost in your head by using the superposition theorem. When the 5V source is shorted, the 10V source is supplying (I1) to a circuit that is the 4 Ω and 2 Ω resistors in parallel with their counterparts, and that 2+1 Ω combination in series with 1 Ω for a total of a 4Ω load on the 10 V source. That is, I1 due to the 10V source is 2.5 A, and it is nominally split in half through the upper and lower branches of the circuit. There is no current flowing through the (shorted) 5 V source branch.

When the 10V source is shorted, the 5V source is supplying a 4 +4 Ω branch in parallel with a 2 +2 Ω branch, a total load of 8/3 Ω. This makes the current from that source (I3) be 5/(8/3) = 15/8 = 1.875 A. There is zero current from this source through the 1 Ω resistor.

Nominally, the current from the 5V source splits 2/3 through the 2 Ω branch and 1/3 through the 4 Ω branch.

Using superposition, I2 = I1/2 -I3/3 = (2.5 A/2) -(1/3)(15/8 A) = 0.625 A. This is the same answer as above, without any matrix math.

  (I1, I2, I3) = (2.5 A, 0.625 A, 1.875 A)

It helps to be familiar with the formulas for resistors in series and parallel.
