Answer:

The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μk=0.441

Explanation:

Let

mb = bullet mass = 0.02 kg

vb = bullet speed  = 300 m/s

mw = mass of the wood block = 1 kg

d = distance covered by the block plus the bullet = 4 m

u = speed of the bullet plus the block

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s2

μk = coefficient of friction, variable unknown

We will use the following expression to calculate the coefficient of friction:

μk = \frac{(\frac{mb*vb}{mb+mw})^{2}  }{2*g*d}

Replacing known values:

μk=\frac{(\frac{(0.02kg)*(300m/s)}{0.02kg+1kg})^{2}  }{2*9.8m/s^{2}*4m }=0.441

The coefficient of friction is a dimensionless value

Add these measurements, using significant digit rules:<br><br> 1.0090 cm + 0.02 cm = cm
marin [14]

Answer:

1.029

Explanation:

1.0090 can also be looked at as "1.009"

0.02 can also be looked at as "0.020"

I think of it as 20+9 which is 29. There for your answer should be 1.029. There are no measurement rules applying to this equation since they are both in centimeters. So you don't have to convert anything.

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.81 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

same 0.81m

Explanation:

in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation

change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy

mgh = 0.5mv^2

gh = 0.5v^2

the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.

so at the bottom

put h = 0.81m

9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2

v=3.99 m/s

both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65
kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

\theta = Angle at which the force is being applied = 65^{\circ}

Horizontal component of force is given by

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.
