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

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa
Lesechka [4]
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude  of the second displacement

β= 21.8° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Explanation:

We find the x-y components for the given vectors:

i:  unit vector in x direction

j:unit vector in y direction

D₁: Displacement Vector 1

D₂: Displacement Vector 2

R= resulta displacement vector

D₁= 152*cos110°(i)+152*sin110°(j)=-51.99i+142.83j

D₂= -D₂(i)-D₂(j)

R=  131*cos38°(i)+ 131*sin38°(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

We propose the vector equation for sum of vectors:

D₁+ D₂= R

-51.99i+142.83j+D₂x(i)-D₂y(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

-51.99i+D₂x(i)=103.23i

D₂x=103.23+51.99=155.22 cm

+142.83j-D₂y(j) =+80.65j

D₂y=142.83-80.65=62.18 cm

Magnitude and direction of the second displacement

D_{2} =\sqrt{(D_{x})^{2} +(D_{y} )^{2}  }

D_{2} =\sqrt{(155.22)^{2} +(62.18 )^{2}  }

D₂= 167.21 cm

Direction of the second displacement

\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{D_{y}}{D_{x} }

\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{62.18}{155.22 }

β= 21.8°

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude  of the second displacement

β= 21.8.° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Find the electric field at a point midway between two charges of 30.0×10 power -9 and 60.0×10 power -9 separated by a distance o
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The electric field at a point midway between the two charges, E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Explanation:

Let the midpoint of the two charges be considered as the origin, and charge A = 30.0 * 10⁻⁹ C be moving in the +x- axis and the charge B = 60.0 * 10⁻⁹ C be moving in the -x-axis.

Electric field, E = kQ/r² where k is a constant = 9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C², Q = quantity of charge, r = distance of separation

In the given question,r = 30.0 cm = 0.03 m; the midway point between A and B = 0.03/2 = 0.015 m

Electric field due to charge A

Ea = +(9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C² * 30.0 * 10⁻⁹ ) / ( 0.015 m)²

Ea =  +1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Electric field due to charge B

Eb = -(9.0 * 10⁹  N.m²/C² * 60.0 * 10⁻⁹ ) / ( 0.015 m)²

Eb =  -3.6 * 10⁴ N/C

The resultant electric field E = Ea + Eb

E = (+1.8 * 10⁴  +  -3.6 * 10⁴) N/C

E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C

Therefore, the electric field at a point midway between the two charges, E = -1.8 * 10⁴ N/C
