A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor

Physics

1 answer:

Nataly [62]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

You are given that the mass of the clock M is 95 kg.

This is true whether the clock is in motion or not.

Fs is the frictional force required to keep the clock from moving.

Thus Fk = uk W = uk M g the force required to move clock at constant speed. (the kinetic frictional force)

uk = 560 N / 931 N = .644 since the weight of the clock is 931 N (95 * 9.8)

us is the frictional force requited to start the clock moving

us = static frictional force = 650 / 931 -= .698

A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is $m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus towards North $v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s$

mass of bus travelling in South direction is $m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus $v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s$

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus $m_0=64.8 kg$

Momentum of North moving bus

$P_1=m_1\times v_1$

$P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22$

$P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s$

Momentum with south moving bus

$P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2$

$P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38$

For total momentum to be towards south

$P_2-P_1$ should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

$P_2=P_1$

$(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4$

$1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4$

$n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66$

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

$z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}$

$z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}$

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600$

$\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t$

For t = 4 s:

$\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s$

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic, as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303 log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv = m / M RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

Waves move fastest in

JulijaS [17]

Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.
