A 30.0 kg packing case is initially at rest on the floor of a 1500 kg pickup truck. The coefficient of static friction between t

he case and the truck floor is 0.30, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. Before each acceleration given below, the truck is traveling due north at constant speed. Find the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the case (a) when the truck accelerates at 2.20 m/s2 northward and (b) when it accelerates at 3.40 m/s2 southward.

Answer:

(a). The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the case is 66 N northward.

(b). The magnitude of the friction force acting on the case is 58.8 N southward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of packing case = 30.0 kg

Mass of truck = 1500 kg

Coefficient of static friction = 0.30

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.20

Acceleration = 2.20 m/s² northward

(A). We need to calculate the force acting on the case

Using formula of force

$F=ma$

Put the value into the formula

$F=30.0\times2.20$

$F=66\ N$

We need to calculate the maximum static frictional force

Using formula of frictional force

$f_{\mu}=\mu mg$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{\mu}=0.30\times30.0\times9.8$

$F_{\mu}=88.2$

The frictional force is greater then the force acting on the block

Then, The frictional force is 66 N northward.

(B). We need to calculate the force acting on the case

Using formula of force

$F = ma$

Put the value into the formula

$F=30.0\times3.40$

$F=102\ N$

The static friction force is less then the force action on the case

We need to calculate the maximum static frictional force

Using formula of frictional force

$f_{\mu}=\mu mg$

$f_{\mu}=0.20\times30.0\times9.8$

$f_{\mu}=58.8\ N$

So, The magnitude of the friction force acting on the case is 58.8 N southward.

Hence, This is the required solution.

a golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and an angle of 35 degrees. how far did the ball travel before hitti

poizon [28]

Ans: R = Ball Travelled = 92.15 meters.

Explanation:
First we need to derive that formula for the "range" in order to know how far the ball traveled before hitting the ground.

Along x-axis, equation would be:
$x = x_o + v_o_xt + \frac{at^2}{2}$

Since there is no acceleration along x-direction; therefore,
$x = x_o + v_o_xt$

Since $v_o_x = v_ocos \alpha$ and $x_o$ =0; therefore above equation becomes,

$x = v_ocos \alpha t$ --- (A)

Now we need to find "t", and the time is not given. In order to do so, we shall use the y-direction motion equation. Before hitting the ground y ≈ 0 and a = -g; therefore,

=> $y = y_o + v_o_yt - \frac{gt^2}{2}$
=> $t = \frac{2v_o_y}{g}$

Since $v_o_y = sin \alpha$ ; therefore above equation becomes,
$t = \frac{2v_osin \alpha }{g}$

Put the value of t in equation (A):

(A) => $x = v_ocos \alpha \frac{2v_osin \alpha }{g}$

Where x = Range = R, and $2sin \alpha cos \alpha = sin(2 \alpha )$ ; therefore above equation becomes:

=> $R = (v_o)^2 *\frac{sin(2 \alpha )}{g}$

Now, as:
$v_o = 31 m/s$

and $\alpha = 35$ °
and g = 9.8 m/(s^2)

Hence,
$R = (31)^2 *\frac{sin(2 *35 )}{9.8}$

Ans: R = 92.15 meters.

A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.70 m. An applied torque of 860 N m gives the shell an angular acceleration of 4.70 rad/

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a spherical shell, r = 0.7 m

Torque acting on the shell, $\tau=860\ N$

Angular acceleration of the shell, $\alpha =4.7\ m/s^2$

We need to find the rotational inertia of the shell about the axis of rotation. The relation between the torque and the angular acceleration is given by :

$\tau=I\alpha$

I is the rotational inertia of the shell

$I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{860}{4.7}\\\\I=182.97\ kg-m^2$

So, the rotational inertia of the shell is $182.97\ kg-m^2$ .

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Power_input = 85.71 [W]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

$W = F*d$

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force [N] (units of Newton)

d = distance [m]

We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.

Now replacing:

$W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J]$

Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where:

P = power [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J]

t = time = 40 [s]

$P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W]$

The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.

$Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W]$
