Answer:

a = 8 m/s^2, Ffriction = 10 N, μk = 0.205

Explanation:

a. Force = Mass*Acceleration,

(since you didn't add the units..."5 block"....for the mass, I will assume it to be in kg, per SI units)

40 N = 5 kg*acceleration,

a = 40/5 = 8 m/s^2

b. As you know newtons second law (F=m*a) is actually in the form Fnet = m*a. Which means that if the friction force comes into play, it would be Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a.

Fapplied - Ffriction = m*a,

40 - Ffriction = 5*6,

40 - Ffriction = 30,

Ffriction = 40 - 30 = 10 N

c. The coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated by the formula "Ffriction = μk*Fnormal".

10 = μk*Fnormal (Fnormal = m*g = 5*9.8)

10 = μk*49,

μk=10/49 ≈ 0.205

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 84.0 cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

v = 2.029 m/s

Explanation:

Given

L = 84.0 cm   ⇒  R = 0.5*L = 0.5*84 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m

m₁ = 0.600 kg

m₂ = 0.200 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

u₁ = u₂ = 0 m/s

v₁ = ?

v₂ = ?

Due to gravity, the bar oscillates and becomes vertical. The mass that occupies the lower position is the one with the highest torque. The one that reduces the potential energy (the system tends to the position of minimum energy). This is achieved if the mass that goes down is 0.6kg (that goes down 42cm) and the one that goes up is 0.2kg (goes up 42cm).

In this system mechanical energy is conserved, so we can match its value in the horizontal position with the one in the vertical.

then

Ei = Ki + Ui = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*(0)² + (m₁+m₂)*9.8*(0) = 0 J

Ef = Kf + Uf

⇒ Kf = 0.5*(m₁+m₂)*v² = 0.5*(0.6+0.2)*v² = 0.4*v²

⇒ Uf = m₁*g*h₁ + m₂*g*h₂ = 0.6*9.8*(-0.42) + 0.2*9.8*0.42 = - 1.6464

⇒ Ef = Kf + Uf = 0.4*v² - 1.6464

Since

0 = 0.4*v² - 1.6464  ⇒  v = 2.029 m/s

v is the same value due to the wooden rod is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center and the masses are on opposite ends.

v₁ = v₂ = v    ⇒  ω₁*R₁ = ω₂*R₂  ⇒ ω₁*R = ω₂*R  ⇒ ω₁ = ω₂ = ω

⇒ v = ω*R

A +0.05 C charge is placed in a uniform electric field pointing downward with a strength of 100 Newtons over Coulombs.. Determin
shtirl [24]

The magnitude of the electric force on the charge is 5 N.

<h3>Magnitude of force on the charge</h3>

The magnitude of force on the charge is calculated as follows;

F = Eq

where;

  • E is electric field
  • q is magnitude of the charge

F = 100 N/C  x 0.05 C

F = 5 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the charge is 5 N.

Find Vxl and Vyl of a pumpkin launched at a velocity of 55 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

             

Explanation:

is  A projectile is any object on which the only force acting is gravity and air resistance (drag).

Examples of projectiles are:

baseballs and softballs in the air after being hit by the bat

golf balls hit by a club

objects dropped from aircraft, such as people (skydivers), bombs, crates of food being dropped to refugees

objects launched by cannons, such as cannonballs, shells, and circus performers

Once the baseball, softball, golf ball, skydiver, bomb, crate, cannonball, shell, or clown are no longer touching the bat, club, aircraft, or cannon, and are in the air with only gravity and slight air resistance acting on it, then it is a projectile.

Here is an online projectile motion applets to play with, just for fun.

Unless otherwise stated in a particular problem or discussion, we will be ignoring the effects of air resistance.

The key to understanding the motion of projectiles is that the horizontal motion and the vertical motion of the projectile are independent of each other. So we can write separate equations for the displacement of the projectile in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) directions.

                         

The only common variable between these two equations is t, the time. Because in projectile problems there is usually no acceleration (i.e. we ignore air resistance) in the horizontal direction, we can write

           

The velocity components follow the same equations we used for one-dimensional motion.

                             

Because there is usually no acceleration in the x direction, the x-velocity is constant.
