The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Explanation:

Given that

At X=0 V=Vo

At X=X1 V=0

As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.

We know that

$V^2=U^2-2aS$

$0=V_o^2-2a X_1$

$a=\dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

So the friction force on the box

Ff= m x a

$Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}$

Where m is the mass of the box.

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part

Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: $17.0 rad/s^2$

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

$W=mg$

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

$W_p =mg sin \theta$

where $\theta$ is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

$\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration $\alpha$ is

$\tau = I \alpha$ (1)

where

$I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2$

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for $\alpha$ , we find:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}$

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when $\theta=10^{\circ}$ is

$\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2$

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude $mg$

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

$\tau = Fd$

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

$\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta$

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

What is the expected wavelength (in cm) of 10.5 ghz microwaves in free space?

Sindrei [870]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (300 thousand km per second) / (10.5 billion per second)

Wavelength = (300 / 10.5) (thousand km per second) / (billion per second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (million meters / second) / (thousand million / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / second) / (thousand / second)

Wavelength = (28.57) (meters / thousand)

<em>Wavelength = (28.57) (millimeters) </em>

To answer this question is necessary to apply the concepts related to Bernoulli's equation. The Bernoulli-related concept describes the behavior of a liquid moving along a streamline. Pressure can be defined as the proportional ratio between height, density and gravity:
