Baggage on the floor of the baggage car of a high-speed train is not prevented from moving other than by friction. The train is

travelling down a 5 percent grade when it decreases its speed at a constant rate from 144 mi/h to 66 mi/h in a time interval of 12 s. Determine the smallest allowable value of the coefficient of static friction between a trunk and the floor of the baggage car if the trunk is not to slide.

Answer:

 μ = 0.36

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts

Let's start by finding the acceleration of the train, using the kinematics relations

         v = v₀ - a t

         a = \frac{v - v_o}{t}

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         v = 66 mi / h (5280 ft / 1mile) (1h / 3600s) = 96.8 ft / s

         v₀ = 144 mi / h = 211.2 ft / s

let's calculate

          a = \frac{96.8 - 211.2}{12}

          a = - 9.53 ft / s²

Now we can use Newton's second law, for this let's set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the slope of the hill

let's break down the weight

            sin 5 = Wₓ / W

            cos 5 = W_y / W

            Wₓ = W sin 5

            W_y = W cos 5

Y axis

     N- W_y = 0

     N = W cos 5

   

X axis

      Wₓ -fr = m a

       mg sin 5 - fr = ma

the friction force has the expression

       fr = μ N

       fr = μ W cos 5

we substitute

        mg sin 5 - μ mg cos 5 = ma

        g sin 5 - μ g cos 5 = a

        μ = \frac{g \ sin 5 -a }{g \ cos 5}

        μ =  tan 5 - \frac{a}{ g \ cos 5}

let's calculate

       μ = tan 5 - (-9.53) / 32 cos 5

       μ = 0.08749 + 0.2733

       μ = 0.36

Define the reflection with diagram​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray. If a perpendicular were to be drawn on reflecting surface, it would be called normal. The figure below shows the reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror.

A 3.00N rock is thrown vertically into the air from the ground. At h=15.0m, v=25m/s upward. Use the work-energy theorem to find
butalik [34]

Answer:

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s

correct answer is b. 30.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

h = 15.0m

v = 25m/s

weight of the rock m = 3.00N  

solution

we use here work-energy theorem that is express as here

work = change in the kinetic energy    ..............................1

so it can be written as

work = force × distance     ...................2

and

KE is express as

K.E = 0.5 × m × v²  

and it can be written as

F × d = 0.5 × m × (vf)² - (vi)²      ......................3

here

m is mass and vi and vf is initial and final velocity

F = mg = m  (-9.8)  , d = 15 m and v{f} = 25 m/s

so put value in equation 3 we get

m  (-9.8) × 15 = 0.5 × m × (25)² - (vi)²

solve it we get

(vi)² =  919

vi = 30.32 m/s

so initial speed of the rock is 30.32 m/s
