A 2 kg block slides along a horizontal tabletop. A horizontal applied force of 12 N and a vertical applied force of 15 N act on

the block. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.2, what is the frictional force exerted on the block?

The block slides horizontally along the table, so the net vertical force is zero. By Newton's second law,

15 N + <em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force and <em>w</em> = weight of the block. We then find

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> - 15 N

<em>n</em> = (2 kg) (9.8 m/s²) - 15 N

<em>n</em> = 4.6 N

The frictional force has a magnitude <em>f</em> that is proportional to <em>n</em> by a factor of <em>µ</em> = 0.2, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.2 (4.6 N)

<em>f</em> = 0.92 N

with a direction opposite the direction of the block's motion.

A 1.0-kg ball of putty is released from rest and falls vertically 1.5 m until it strikes a hard floor, where it comes to rest in
topjm [15]
<span>We first calculate the velocity of the ball when it hits the ground; this is equal to the square root of the quantity (2*g*d) where g is the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the distance fallen, 1.5m.

    So, we get a velocity of sqrt(2*9.8*1.5) = 5.42 m/s.

   We can calculate the impulse force applied to the putty ball by using Newton's second law, which states that the applied force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration, where acceleration can be further decomposed as the change in velocity divided by the change in time. Thus, inputting the known values, we have:

    F = ma = m(dv/dt) = 1.0*5.42/0.045 = 120.4 newtons.</span>

2. A rod 14.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of -22.0 μC. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net
Sloan [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of rod, l = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Total charge, Q=-22\ \mu C=-22\times 10^{-6}\ C

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field produced by the charged rod at a point 36.0 cm to the right of its center along the axis of the rod, z = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Electric field at the axis of rod is given by :

E=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o z}

Where

\lambda is the linear charge density, \lambda=\dfrac{Q}{l}

So, E=\dfrac{Q}{2\pi \epsilon_o zl}

E=\dfrac{-22\times 10^{-6}}{2\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.36\times 0.14}

E = −7849988.22 N/C

or

E=-7.84\times 10^6\ N/C

Negative sign shows the direction of electric field is inward in all direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

At what distance along the z-axis is the electric field strength a maximum?
Lesechka [4]
The axial field is the integration of the field from each element of charge around the ring. Because of symmetry, the field is only in the direction of the axis. The field from an element ds in the ring is 

<span>dE = (qs*ds)cos(T)/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) </span>

<span>where x is the distance along the axis from the plane of the ring, R is the radius of the ring, qs is the linear charge density, T is the angle of the field from the x-axis. </span>

<span>However, cos(T) = x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2) </span>

<span>so the equation becomes </span>

<span>dE = (qs*ds)*[x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2)]/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) </span>

<span>dE =[qs*ds/(4*pi*e0)]*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 </span>

<span>Integrating around the ring you get </span>

<span>E = (2*pi*R/4*pi*e0)*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 </span>

<span>E = (R/2*e0)*x*(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 </span>

<span>we differentiate wrt x, the term R/2*e0 is a constant K, and the derivative is </span>

<span>dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 +x*[(-1.5)*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5]*2x} </span>

<span>dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5} </span>

<span>to find the maxima set this = 0, giving </span>

<span>(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5 = 0 </span>

<span>mult both side by (x^2 + R^2)^2.5 to get </span>

<span>(x^2 + R^2) - 3*x^2 = 0 </span>

<span>-2*x^2 + R^2 = 0 </span>

<span>-2*x^2 = -R^2 </span>

<span>x = (+/-)R/sqrt(2) </span>
