Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin

wedge. One edge of the wedge is vertical, and the tip makes an angle of 33. The block that hangs vertically weighs 2.85 kg, and the block on the incline weighs 2.94 kg. If the two blocks do not move, what is magnitude of the force of friction on the second second block

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N

You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. You disc
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

<em>Take square root for both sides</em>

v = ± \sqrt{235.2}

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>

Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocke
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of a variable mass system, let's form a system formed by the masses of the rocket, the mass of the engines and the masses of the injected gases, in this case the system has a constant mass and can be solved using the conservation the amount of movement. Which can be described by the expressions

        Thrust = v_{e}  \frac{dM}{dt}

        v_{f}-v₀ = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f}} )

where v_{e} is the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket

let's apply these expressions to our case

the initial mass is the mass of the engines plus the mass of the fuel plus the kill of the rocket, let's work the system in SI units

       M₀ = 25.5 +12.7 + 54.5 = 92.7 g = 0.0927 kg

     

The final mass is the mass of the engines + the mass of the rocket

      M_{f} = 25.5 +54.5 = 80 g = 0.080 kg

thrust and duration of ignition are given

       thrust = 5.26 N

       t = 1.90 s

Let's start by calculating the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, where we assume that the rate of consumption is linear

          thrust = v_{e} \frac{M_{f} - M_{o}  }{t_{f} - t_{o}  }

          v_{e} = thrust  \frac{\Delta t}{\Delta M}

          v_{e} = 5.26 \frac{1.90}{0.080 -0.0927}

          v_{e} = - 786.93 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the direction of the gases is opposite to the direction of the rocket

now we look for the final speed of the rocket, which as part of rest its initial speed is zero

            v_{f}-0 = v_{e} ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f} } )

we calculate

            v_{f} = 786.93 ln (0.0927 / 0.080)

            v_{f} = 115.95 m / s
