The force pulling the block forward will be equal to the weight of the hanging box.
F = mg = g

The resistance will be equal to μR, where R is the reaction force and μ is the coefficient of friction. 

Resultant force = g - μmg
ma = g - μmg
a = g(1 - 2μ) / 2
a = 3.63 m/s²

Let us assume that pulley is mass less.

Let the tension produced at both ends of the pulley is T.

We are asked to calculate the acceleration of the block.

Let the masses of two bodies are denoted as m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}\ respectively

Let\ m_{1} =1 kg\ and\ m_{2} =2 kg

As per this diagram, the body having mass 1 kg is moving downward and the body having mass 2 kg is moving on the surface of the table.

Let the acceleration of each block is a .

For body having mass 1 kg:

The net force acting on 1 kg body will be-

                             m_{1} g-T=m_{1} a        [1]

Here tension in the rope will be vertically upward and weight of the body will be in vertical downward direction.

For body having mass 2 kg:

The coefficient of kinetic friction [\mu]=0.13

Hence\ the\ frictional\ force\ F=\mu N

                                                     F=\mu m_{2} g

Hence the net force acting on the body having mass 2 kg-

                                  T-\mu m_{2} g=m_{2} a  [2]

Here the tension of the rope is towards right i.e along the direction of motion of the 2 kg block and frictional force is towards left.

Combining 1 and 2 we get-

                           m_{1} g-T=m_{1}a             [1]

                           T-\mu m_{2}g= m_{2} a   [2]

                           ---------------------------------------------------

                           [m_{1} -\mu m_{2} ]g=[m_{1} +m_{2} ]a

                           a=\frac{m_{1}-\mu m_{2}} {m_{1}+ m_{2}}*g

                           a=\frac{1-[2*0.13]}{1+2} *9.8\ m/s^2

                           a=\frac{0.74}{3} *9.8\ m/s^2

                           a=2.417 m/s         [ans]

You are standing next to a table and looking down on a record player sitting on the table. Take the spindle (axis of rotation) t
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) the rotational speed of the clay is  3.45 rad/s

b) the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

c) the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

Explanation:

 Given that;

Revolution per minute rpm = 33( 1/3) =  100/3

The frequency f = 100 / 3(60) = 0.55 Hz

a)

Rotational speed W = 2πf

we substitute

W = 2π × 0.55

W = 3.45 rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the clay is  3.45 rad/s

b)

given equation; y(t)=Asin(ωt+ϕi)

given that radius = 0.15 m

y(t)=(0.2)sin(ωt+ϕi)

Therefore, the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

c)

since y(t) has the maximum value at t =0

so at t=0

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(ϕi)

this will give maximum value when ϕi = 90°

so

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(90°)

= 0.15

hence, the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s
