Write down Newton's second law in terms of momentum and acceleration. Write down this law in the form of differential equation (

svetoff [14.1K]

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. The mathematical expression is given by:

$F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}$

Where

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity with which it is moving

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

Momentum of a particle is given by the product of mass and velocity as :

$p=mv$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250

Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=0.5 kg$

inclination $\theta =30$

coefficient of static friction $\mu =0.35$

coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.25$

distance traveled $d=77.3 cm$

spring constant $k=35 N/m$

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

$mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}$

$x=0.234 m$

$x=23.4 cm$

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what

marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

$\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}$

Where d is the distance to the star.

$p('') = \frac{1}{d}$ (1)

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')}$ (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of ( $p('') = 0.01$ ):

$d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}$

$d(pc) = 100$

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second
