The crate only moves horizontally, so its net vertical force is 0. The only forces acting in the vertical direction are the crate's weight (pointing downward) and the normal force of the surface on the crate (pointing upward). By Newton's second law, we have

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = 1876 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force.

In the horizontal direction, the crate is moving at a constant speed and thus with no acceleration, so it's completely in equilibrium and the net horizontal force is also 0. The only forces acting on it in this direction are the 747 N push (pointing in the direction of the crate's motion) and the kinetic friction opposing it (pointing in the opposite direction). By Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = 747 N - <em>f</em> = 0   →   <em>f</em> = 747 N

The frictional force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of kinetic friction, <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µn</em>   →   <em>µ</em> = <em>f</em> / <em>n</em> = (747 N) / (1876 N) ≈ 0.398188 ≈ 0.40

A force does work on an object if a component of the force is
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A force does work on an object if a component of the force is parallel to the displacement of the object.

Explanation:

Work, a measurement of energy is said to be done when a force applied to an object results in the movement of that object to a certain distance and direction. Force is the act of push or pulls occurs on an object as a result of the interaction between that object with another one and displacement is the distance and direction covered by that object as a result of the force applied on it.

The work done (W) by a constant force (F) is equal to the product of the force in the direction of displacement of the object and the distance (d) moved by the object i.e., W = F * d.

The angle between the displacement and the force is θ, then the work done, W = Fd cos θ  ........ (1)

Positive work - Force acts in the same direction with respect to the displacement of the object. Here, θ is zero, so cos θ i.e., cos 0 is 1. Therefore, from the equation (1), W = Fd (i.e., work done by the force is positive).

Negative work - Force acts in the opposite direction with respect to the displacement of the object.  Here, θ is 180°, so cos θ i.e., cos 180° is -1. Therefore, from the equation (1), W = -Fd (i.e., work done by the force is negative).

If a force is applied to an object and it does not move, then the work done is zero i.e., W = F * 0 = 0. Also, if the force and displacement are at right angle to each other, then θ is 90°. Therefore, from the equation (1), W = 0 since cos 90° is zero.

A satellite is in a circular Earth orbit of radius r. The area A enclosed by the orbit depends on r2 because A = πr2. Determine
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. T=r^{3/2}

b. K=\frac{1}{r}

c. v=\frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

d. v=\sqrt{r}

Explanation:

To make analysis about the satellite circular earth the depends or r and A

T^2=\frac{4\pi}{GM}*r^3

K=\frac{GM*m}{2*r}

a.

T^2=r^3

T=r^{3/2}

b.

K=\frac{GM*m}{2}*\frac{1}{r}

K=\frac{1}{r}

c.

K=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2

v^2=\frac{2*K}{m}=\frac{2*Gm*m}{2*m*r}

v=\frac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

d.

v=\sqrt{2*GMr}

v=\sqrt{r}

A cannonball is catapulted toward a castle. The cannonball's velocity when it leaves the catapult is 40 m/s at an angle of 37° w
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

a) Maximum height = 36.6 m

b) Horizontal distance at which the ball lands = 166.1 m

c) x-component = 32 m/s. y-component = - 27 m/s  

Explanation:

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the problem.

The velocity vector "v" of the cannonball has two components, a horizontal component, "vx", and a vertical component "vy". Notice that at the maximum height, the vertical component "vy" of the velocity vector is 0.

In the same way, the position vector "r" is composed by "rx", its horizontal component, and "ry", the vertical component.

The velocity vector "v" ad the position vector "r" at time "t" are given by the following equations:

v = (v0 * cos α, v0 * sin α + g * t)

r = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α, y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 * g * t²)

Where

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity vector

α = launching angle

g = gravity acceleration (-9.8 m/s², because the y-axis points up)

t = time

x0 = initial horizontal position

y0 = initial vertical position

If we consider the origin of the system of reference as the point at which the cannonball leaves tha catapult, then, x0 and y0 = 0

a) We know that at maximum height, the vertical component of the vector "v" is 0, because the ball does not move up nor down at that moment (see figure). Then:

0 = v0 * sin α + g * t

-v0 * sin α / g = t

-40 m/s * sin 37° / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 2.5 s

We can now calculate the position of the cannonball at time t=2.5 s to obtain the maximum height:

r = (x0 + v0 * t cos α, y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 * g * t²)

The max height is the magnitude of the vector ry max (see figure). The vector ry max is:

ry = (0, y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g * t²)

magnitude of ry = |ry|= \sqrt{(0m)^{2} + (y0 + v0* t*sin \alpha+ 1/2*g*t^{2})^{2}}= y0 + v0*t*sin \alpha + 1/2*g*t^{2})

Then:

max height = y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 * g * t²

max height = 0 m + 40 m/s * 2.5 s * sin 37° - 1/2* 9.8 m/s² * (2.5 s)² = 29.6 m

Since the ball leaves the catapult 7 m above the ground, the max height above the ground will be 29.6 m + 7 m = 36.6m

<u>max height = 36.6 m</u>

b) When the ball hits the ground, the position is given by the vector "r final" (see figure). The magnitude of "rx", the horizontal component of "r final", is the horizontal distance between the catapult and the wall.

r final = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α, y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 * g * t²)

We know that the vertical component of "r final" is -7 (see figure).

Then, we can obtain the time when the the ball hits the ground:

y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 * g * t² = -7 m

0 m + 40 m/s * t * sin 37° + 1/2 g * t² = -7 m

7 m + 40 m/s * t * sin 37° + 1/2 (-9.8 m/s²) * t² = 0

7 m + 24.1 m/s * t - 4.9 m/s² * t² = 0

solving the quadratic equation:

t = 5.2 s (The negative solution is discarded).

With this time, we can calculate the value of the horizontal component of "r final"

Distance to the wall = |rx| = x0 + v0 t cos α

|rx| = 0m + 40 m/s * 5.2 s * cos 37° =<u> 166.1 m</u>

c) With the final time obtained in b) we can calculate the velocity of the ball:

v = (v0 * cos α, v0 * sin α + g * t)

v =(40 m/s * cos 37°, 40 m/s * sin 37°  -9.8 m/s² * 5.2 s)

v =(32 m/s, -27 m)

x-component = 32 m/s

y-component = - 27 m/s
