Answer:

\theta=5.71^{o}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by drawing a free body diagram of the given situation (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can now do a sum of forces in the x and y direction. Let's start with the y-direction:

\sum F_{y}=0

-W_{y}+N=0

N=W_{y}

so:

N=mgcos(\theta)

now we can go ahead and do a sum of forces in the x-direction:

\sum F_{x}=0

the sum of forces in x is 0 because it's moving at a constant speed.

-f+W_{x}=0

-\mu_{k}N+mg sen(\theta)=0

-\mu_{k}mg cos(\theta)+mg sen(\theta)=0

so now we solve for theta. We can start by factoring mg so we get:

mg(-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta))=0

we can divide both sides into mg so we get:

-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta)=0

this tells us that the problem is independent of the mass of the object.

\mu_{k} cos(\theta)=sen(\theta)

we now divide both sides of the equation into cos(\theta) so we get:

\mu_{k}=\frac{sen(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

\mu_{k}=tan(\theta)

so we now take the inverse function of tan to get:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\mu_{k})

so now we can find our angle:

\theta=tan^{-1}(0.10)

so

\theta=5.71^{o}

Sapting Leng You have a string with a mass of 13.7 q. You stretch the string with a force of 8.39 N, giving it a length of 1.87
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

a)  \lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}

b) f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}

Explanation:

Given:

String vibrates transversely fourth dynamic, thus n = 4

mass of the string, m = 13.7 g = 13.7 × 10⁻¹³ kg

Tension in the string, T = 8.39 N

Length of the string, L = 1.87 m

a) we know

L= n\frac{\lambda}{2}

where,

\lambda = wavelength

on substituting the values, we get

1.87= 4\times \frac{\lambda}{2}

or

\lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}

b) Speed of the wave (v) in the string is given as:

v =f\lambda

also,

v=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}

equating both the formula for 'v' we get,

f\lambda=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}

on substituting the values, we get

f\times 0.935=\sqrt\frac{8.39}{(\frac{13.7\times 10^{3}}{1.87})}

or

f=\frac{33.84}{0.935}

or

f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.
