A 51.0 kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 10.0 m th

e floor is frictionless, and for the next 10.5 m the coefficient of friction is 0.17.
What is the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters?

Answer:

The final speed of the crate is 12.07 m/s.

Explanation:

For the first 10.0 meters, the only force acting on the crate is 225 N, so we can calculate the acceleration as follows:

$F = ma$

$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{225 N}{51.0 kg} = 4.41 m/s^{2}$

Now, we can calculate the final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{1}$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{0 + 2*4.41 m/s^{2}*10.0 m} = 9.39 m/s$

For the next 10.5 meters we have frictional force:

$F - F_{\mu} = ma$

$F - \mu mg = ma$

So, the acceleration is:

$a = \frac{F - \mu mg}{m} = \frac{225 N - 0.17*51.0 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{51.0 kg} = 2.74 m/s^{2}$

The final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m will be the initial speed of the following 10.5 meters, so:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{2}$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{(9.39 m/s)^{2} + 2*2.74 m/s^{2}*10.5 m} = 12.07 m/s$

Therefore, the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters is 12.07 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

A steady current I flows through a wire of radius a. The current density in the wire varies with r as J = kr, where k is a const

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

we can consider an element of radius r < a and thickness dr. and Area of this element is

$dA=2\pi r dr$

since current density is given

$J=kr$

then , current through this element will be,

$di_{thru}=JdA=(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=2\pi\,kr^2\,dr$

integrating on both sides between the appropriate limits,

$\int_0^Idi_{thru}=\int_0^a2\pi\,kr^2\,dr
\\\\
I=\frac{2\pi\,ka^3}{3} -------------------------------(1)$

Magnetic field can be found by using Ampere's law

$\oint{\vec{B}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}$

for points inside the wire ( r<a)

now, consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius r.

by applying the Ampere's law, we can write

$\oint{\vec{B}_{in}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}
$

by symmetry $\vec{B}$ will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop.

Hence,

$B_{in}\times2\pi\,l=\mu_0\int_0^r(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=
\\\\2\pi\,B_{in} l=2\pi\mu_0k \frac{r^3}{3}
\\\\B_{in}=\frac{\mu_0kl^2}{3}
$

now using equation 1, putting the value of k,

$B_{in} = \frac{\mu_{0} l^2 }{3 } \,\,\, \frac{3I}{2 \pi a^3}
\\\\B_{in} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I l^2}{2 \pi a^3}
$

B)

now, for points outside the wire ( r>a)

consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius l.

applying the Ampere's law

$\oint{\vec{B}_{out}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}
$

by symmetry $\vec{B}$ will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop. Hence

$B_{out}\times2\pi\,r=\mu_0\int_0^a(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)
\\\\2\pi\,B_{out}r=2\pi\mu_0k\frac{a^3}{3}
\\\\B_{out}=\frac{\mu_0ka^3}{3r}
$

again using,equaiton 1,

$B_{out}= \mu_0 \frac{a^3}{3r} \times \frac{3 I}{2 \pi a^3}
\\\\B_{out} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}$

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

   KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

   =    (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)

   =    2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

   Energy is never created or destroyed.
   If it seems that some energy disappeared,
   it actually had to go somewhere.
   And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
   it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Which is a likely use for a base? a. as a vitamin in your food b. etching metals for printing c. making foods taste sour d. maki

natta225 [31]

I think the correct answer would be making soaps and detergents. It is the manufacture of soaps and detergents that makes use of a base. It is included in the process of such product. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Why are some consolation visible to New York State observers at midnight during April , but not visible at midnight during Octob

Svetach [21]

"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.
