Answer:

a) 113N

b) 0.37

Explanation:

a) Using the Newton's second law:

\sum Fx =ma

Since the crate doesn't move (static), acceleration will be zero. The equation will become:

\sum Fx = 0

\sumFx = Fm - Ff = 0.

Fm is the applied force

Ff is the frictional force

Since Fm - Ff = 0

Fm = Ff

This means that the applied force is equal to the force of friction if the crate is static.

Since applied force is 113N, hence the magnitude of the static friction force will also be 113N

b) Using the formula

Ff = nR

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the reaction = mg

R = 31.2 × 9.8

R = 305.76N

From the formula

n = Ff/R

n = 113/305.76

n = 0.37

Hence the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.37

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, $V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V$

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, $V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V$

Now,

Drift velocity, $v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}$

$v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s$

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

$E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta$ (1)

And

$E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d$

Thus eqn (1) becomes

$V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta$

where

d = distance

$B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}$ (2)

(a) When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T$

(b) When $\theta = 60^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T$

A soccer player kicks a soccer ball with a force of 1.8 N. If the mass of the ball is .43 kg. How fast will the ball accelerate?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The acceleration of the ball is 4.18 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

By Newton's second law we can find the acceleration of the ball

$F = m*a\\where:\\F = force applied [N] or [kg*m/s^2]\\m = mass of the ball [kg]\\a = acceleration [m/s^s]$

Now we have:

$a = F/m\\a = \frac{1.8 [kg*m/s^s]}{0.43[kg]} \\a = 4.18 [kg]$

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$v = 4.2 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, $m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg$

Kinetic energy, $K = 0.013 \ \rm J$

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s$

$v = 4.2 \ m/s.$ (rounding to nearest tenth)
