Answer:

angle minimum   θ = 41.3º

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium

    N - W = 0

    N = W

The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall

We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive

     fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0

     

the friction force formula is

     fr = μ N

     fr = μ W

we substitute

      μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2   cos θ = 0

      μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0

         

       μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0

       sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ

       tan θ = 1/2 μ

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))

      θ = 41.3º

A circular wooden loop of mass m and radius R rest on a flat horizontal friction less surface. A bullet, also of mass m, and mov
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

w = vR/3

Explanation:

The centre of mass of the loop to bullet system is given by D / 4 from centre of loop, which is equivalent to R / 2 from its centre.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum , we have

m*v = 2*m* Vcm

Where v = velocity of bullet, Vcm = velocity of wood

Hence, we have  

Vcm = v2

Also, from the conservation of angular momentum about the centre of mass.

M*V*(R/2) = Ic*w - equation (I)

where Ic = moment of inertia and w = angular velocity

Ic for a ring is given by mr^2 + m(r/2)^2

Ic of a bullet is given by m(r/2)^2

Hence, the moment of inertia of the system  is given by the summation of the two moments of inertia Ic(ring) + Ic(bullet) which gives

Ic(system) = 3*m*R^2/2

Substituting back into equation (I), we have

m*v*R^2=3*m*R^2*w/2

Hence, we obtain w =vR/3

w=v3R

A container is filled with water to a depth of 26.2 cm. On top of the water floats a 16.1 cm thick layer of oil with a density of
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Explanation:

density of oil = 0.85 x 10^3 kg/m^3

g = 9.81 m/s^2

height of oil column = 16.1 cm = 0.161 m

Pressure on the surface of water = height of oil column x density of oil x g

                                                      = 0.161 x 0.85 x 10^3 x 9.81 = 1.34 x 10^3 Pa

Thus, the pressure on the surface of water is 1.34 x 10^3 Pa.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which type of energy is thermal energy a form of
elena-s [515]
Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

A satellite of mass 1000kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The centripetal acceleration of the satellite in its orbit is
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 5000N

Explanation:

The basic principle of a circular orbit is that Fg = m × ac, so as we have the mass and the centripetal acceleration (also called normal acceleration) we just have to operate. Fg = 1000kg × 5m/s² = 5000N
