Which watch is more preferable for the measurement of time among pendulum, quartz and atomic watch

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$

Which of these is a mixture?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.

A constant torque of 3 Nm is applied to an unloaded motor at rest at time t = 0. The motor reaches a speed of 1,393 rpm in 4 s.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

Explanation:

From Newton's Laws of Motion and Principle of Motion of D'Alembert, the net torque of a system ( $\tau$ ), measured in Newton-meters, is:

$\tau = I\cdot \alpha$ (1)

Where:

$I$ - Moment of inertia, measured in Newton-meter-square seconds.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

If motor have an uniform acceleration, then we can calculate acceleration by this formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{t}$ (2)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\omega$ - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $\tau = 3\,N\cdot m$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s }$ , $\omega = 145.875\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 4\,s$ , then the moment of inertia of the motor is:
