A block slides along a frictionless surface and onto a slab with a rough surface. The slab has mass of 4 kg and the block has ma
1 answer:
Answer: the friction force on the small block at t equals 1 second is 2N
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
from the slope in the graph provided, we will get the acceleration of the slab
At t = 1 seconds
Slope = acceleration = ( 1 - 0) / ( 2 - 0 ) = 1/2 = 0.5 m/s²
Force = ma = 4 × 0.5 = 2 N
so by Newton's third law
Force on block will be same which is 2N
Therefore the friction force on the small block at t equals 1 second is 2N

The angle of the pendulum with the vertical is
Explanation:
As the train decelerates, the bob of the pendulum will feel a force given by
where
m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the bob
is the magnitude of the acceleration
In the horizontal direction.
The pendulum will be inclined at an angle from the vertical, so it will be in equilibrium, and therefore the horizontal component of the tension in the string must be equal to the net force F of the previous equation:
(1)
where T is the tension in the string.
We also know that the bob is in equilibrium along the vertical direction: so the vertical component of the tension must be equal to the weight of the bob,
(2)
where is the acceleration of gravity.
Dividing eq.(1) by eq(2), we get:
And therefore, we find the angle:
