Answer:

μ = mg/kx

Explanation:

Since the bock does not slip, the frictional force equals the weight of the block. So, F = mg. Now, the frictional force, F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = Normal force.

Now, the normal force equals the spring force F' = kx where k = spring constant and x = compression of spring.

N = F' = kx

So, F = μN = μkx

μkx = mg

So, μ = mg/kx

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o
aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2

The expression for angular velocity is,

w = \frac{v}{r}

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2

= \frac{mv^2}{4}

E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

E = E_r + E_R\\\\

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J

As a system expands, it absorbs 52.5 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working against a pres
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L

Explanation:

From first Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

ΔQ = ΔU + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat absorbed by the system = 52.5 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy = -102.5 J (negative sign shows decrease in internal energy of the system)

W = Work Done in Expansion by the system = ?

Therefore,

52.5 J = - 102.5 J + W

W = 52.5 J + 102.5 J

W = 155 J

Now, the work done in a constant pressure condition is given by:

W = PΔV

W = P(Vf - Vi)

where,

P = Constant Pressure = (0.5 atm)(101325 Pa/1 atm) = 50662.5 Pa

Vf = Final Volume of System = (58 L)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 0.058 m³

Vi = Initial Volume of System = ?

Therefore,

155 J = (50662.5 Pa)(0.058 m³ - Vi)

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 155 J/50662.5 Pa

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 0.003 m³

<u>Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L</u>
