You need to move a 132 kg sofa to a different location in the room. It takes a force

Physics
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Let <em>w</em> denote the weight of the sofa, <em>n</em> the magnitude of the normal force, and <em>f</em> the magnitude of the friction force. The sofa is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

125 N - <em>f</em> = 0

The sofa has a weight of

<em>w</em> = (132 kg) <em>g</em> = 1293.6 N

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Since <em>n</em> = <em>w</em>, the normal force has the same magnitude.

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of static friction <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

Our second equation tells us <em>f</em> = 125 N, so solve for <em>µ</em> :

125 N = <em>µ</em> (1293.6 N)

<em>µ</em> ≈ 0.0966

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

A student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 9.0 rotations per second. The wheel is subj
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

\Delta t = 8 s

Explanation:

As we know that the angular acceleration of the wheel due to friction is constant

so we can use kinematics

\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

so we have

(65 \times 2\pi) = (2\pi \times 9)(10) + \frac{1}{2}(\alpha)(10^2)

130\pi = 180\pi + 50 \alpha

\alpha = -\pi rad/s^2

now time required to completely stop the wheel is given as

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t

0 = (2\pi \times 9) + (-\pi) t

t = 18 s

now time required to stop the wheel is given as

\Delta t = 18 - 10

\Delta t = 8 s

Whenever two apollo astronauts were on the surface of the moon, a third astronaut orbited the moon. assume the orbit to be circu
almond37 [142]
Missing question:
"Determine (a) the astronaut’s orbital speed v and (b) the period of the orbit"

Solution

part a) The center of the orbit of the third astronaut is located at the center of the moon. This means that the radius of the orbit is the sum of the Moon's radius r0 and the altitude (h=430 km=4.3 \cdot 10^5 m) of the orbit:
r= r_0 + h=1.7 \cdot 10^6 m + 4.3 \cdot 10^5 m=2.13 \cdot 10^6 m
This is a circular motion, where the centripetal acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration g at this altitude. The problem says that at this altitude, g=1.08 m/s^2. So we can write
g=a_c= \frac{v^2}{r}
where a_c is the centripetal acceleration and v is the speed of the astronaut. Re-arranging it we can find v:
v= \sqrt{g r}= \sqrt{(1.08 m/s^2)(2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}=1517 m/s = 1.52 km/s

part b) The orbit has a circumference of 2 \pi r, and the astronaut is covering it at a speed equal to v. Therefore, the period of the orbit is
T= \frac{2 \pi r}{v} = \frac{2\pi (2.13 \cdot 10^6 m)}{1517 m/s} =8818 s = 2.45 h
So, the period of the orbit is 2.45 hours.
