You are working in a shoe test laboratory measuring the coefficients of friction for running shoes on a variety of surfaces. The

shoes are pushed against the surface with a downward force of 400 N, and a sample of the surface material is then pulled out from under the shoe by a machine. The machine pulls with a force of 300 N before the material begins to slide. When the material is sliding, the machine only has to pull with a force of 200 N to keep the material moving. What is the coefficient of static friction between the shoe and the material

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

Since the static frictional force is the maximum force applied just before sliding, our frictional force, F is 300 N.

Since F = μN where μ = coefficient of static friction and N = normal force = 400 N (which is the downward force applied against the surface).

So, μ = F/N

= 300 N/400 N

= 3/4

= 0.75

So, the  coefficient of static friction μ = 0.75

A gun has a muzzle speed of 90 meters per second. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 150 meters away? Negle
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

θ₀ = 84.78° (OR) 5.22°

Explanation:

This situation can be treated as projectile motion. The parameters of this projectile motion are:

R = Range of Projectile = 150 m

V₀ = Launch Speed of Projectile = 90 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

θ₀ = Launch angle (OR) Angle of Elevation = ?

The formula for range of a projectile is given as:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ₀/g

Sin 2θ₀ = Rg/V₀²

Sin 2θ₀ = (150 m)(9.8 m/s²)/(90 m/s)²

2θ₀ = Sin⁻¹ (0.18)

θ₀ = 10.45°/2

<u>θ₀ = 5.22°</u>

Also, we know that for the same launch velocity the range will be same for complementary angles. Therefore, another possible value of angle is:

θ₀ = 90° - 5.22°

<u>θ₀ = 84.78°</u>

A playground merry-go-round of radius 2.00 m has a moment of inertia I = 275 kg · m2 and is rotating about a frictionless vertic
ryzh [129]

Answer:

0.2932 rad/s

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2 m

I_i = Initial angular momentum = 275\ kgm^2

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 14 rev/min

I_f = Final angular momentum

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

Here the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow 275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}=(275+275(2)^2)\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{275\times 14\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}}{275+275(2)^2}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=0.2932\ rad/s

The final angular velocity is 0.2932 rad/s
