A young parent is dragging a 65 kg (640 N) sled (this includes the mass of two kids) across some snow on flat ground, by means o

f a rope attached to the sled. The rope is at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the ground and the tension in the rope is 160 N. The sled is moving at a constant velocity of 1.5 m/s.
(a) Draw and label all forces acting on the kids + sled system. Indicate the relative size of each force by scaling the length of each force arrow appropriately
(b) Calculate the normal force acting on the system
(c) Calculate the force of friction acting on the system.
(d) Calculate the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow.

Answer:

b) N = 560 N, c) fr = 138.56 N, d) μ = 0.247

Explanation:

a) In the attachment we can see the free body diagram of the system

b) Let's write Newton's second law on the y-axis

N + T_y -W = 0

N = W -T_y

let's use trigonometry for tension

sin θ = T_y / T

cos θ = Tₓ / T

T_y = T sin θ

Tₓ = T cos θ

we substitute

N = W - T sin 30

we calculate

N = 640 - 160 sin 30

N = 560 N

c) as the system goes at constant speed the acceleration is zero

X axis

Tₓ - fr = 0

Tₓ = fr

we substitute and calculate

fr = 160 cos 30

fr = 138.56 N

d) the friction force has the formula

fr = μ N

μ = fr / N

we calculate

μ = 138.56 / 560

μ = 0.247

(a) Find the energy of the ground state (n = 1) and the first two excited states of an electron in a one-dimensional box of leng

const2013 [10]

(a) $3.77\cdot 10^5 MeV, 1.51\cdot 10^6 MeV, 3.39\cdot 10^3 GeV$

The energy levels of an electron in a box are given by

$E_n = \frac{n^2 h^2}{8mL^2}$

where

n is the energy level

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck constant

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

$L=1.0\cdot 10^{-15} m$ is the size of the box

Substituting n=1, we find the energy of the ground state:

$E_1 = \frac{1^2 (6.63\cdot 10^{-34}^2}{8(9.11\cdot 10^{-31}(1.0\cdot 10^{-15})^2}=6.03\cdot 10^{-8}J$

Converting into MeV,

$E_1 = \frac{6.03\cdot 10^{-8} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}\cdot 10^{-6} MeV/eV =3.77\cdot 10^5 MeV$

Substituting n=2, we find the energy of the first excited state:

$E_2 = \frac{2^2 (6.63\cdot 10^{-34}^2}{8(9.11\cdot 10^{-31}(1.0\cdot 10^{-15})^2}=2.41\cdot 10^{-7}J$

Converting into MeV,

$E_2 = \frac{2.41\cdot 10^{-7} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}\cdot 10^{-6} MeV/eV =1.51\cdot 10^6 MeV$

Substituting n=3, we find the energy of the second excited state:

$E_3 = \frac{3^2 (6.63\cdot 10^{-34}^2}{8(9.11\cdot 10^{-31}(1.0\cdot 10^{-15})^2}=5.43\cdot 10^{-7}J$

Converting into GeV,

$E_3 = \frac{5.43\cdot 10^{-7} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}\cdot 10^{-9} GeV/eV =3.39\cdot 10^3 GeV$

(b) $1.10 \cdot 10^{-18} m$

The energy of the emitted radiation is equal to the energy difference between the two levels, so:

$E=E_2 - E_1 = 2.41\cdot 10^{-7}J - 6.03\cdot 10^{-8} J=1.81\cdot 10^{-7} J$

And the energy of the electromagnetic radiation is

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where c is the speed of light; so, re-arranging the formula, we find the wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.81\cdot 10^{-7}J}=1.10 \cdot 10^{-18} m$

(c) $6.59 \cdot 10^{-19} m$

The energy of the emitted radiation is equal to the energy difference between the two levels, so:

$E=E_3 - E_2 = 5.43\cdot 10^{-7} J - 2.41\cdot 10^{-7}J =3.02\cdot 10^{-7} J$

Using the same formula as before, we find the corresponding wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.02\cdot 10^{-7}J}=6.59 \cdot 10^{-19} m$

(d) $4.12 \cdot 10^{-19} m$

The energy of the emitted radiation is equal to the energy difference between the two levels, so:

$E=E_3 - E_1 = 5.43\cdot 10^{-7} J - 6.03\cdot 10^{-8}J =4.83\cdot 10^{-7} J$

Using the same formula as before, we find:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4.83\cdot 10^{-7}J}=4.12 \cdot 10^{-19} m$

A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m

Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement $s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2$ , u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 $m/s^2$

$1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds$

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0 $m/s^2$

So $s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m$

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.
