Answer:

The angle between the ramp and the horizontal direction is 18.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Coefficient of static friction = 0.34

According to figure,

The normal force is equal to the y component of weight of the box

$N=W\cos\theta$ ....(I)

We need to calculate the angle between the ramp and the horizontal direction

Using frictional force

$f_{\mu}=\mu\ N$

Put the value of frictional force and N into the formula

$W\sin\theta=0.34\timesW\cos\theta$

$\tan\theta=0.34$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.34)$

$\theta=18.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the ramp and the horizontal direction is 18.7°.

13a) 9 J

The work done is equal to the area under the curve between x=0 cm and x=30 cm. However, first we should find the magnitude of the force for x=30 cm. If we notice that the force is proportional to the stretching x, we can set the following proportion to find the value of F for x=30 cm:

$10 N : 5 cm = x : 30 cm$

$x=\frac{30 cm \cdot 10 N}{5 cm}=60 N$

And so, the work done is

$W=Area=\frac{1}{2}(base)(height)=\frac{1}{2}(0.30 m)(60 N)=9 J$

13b) 24.5 m/s

The kinetic energy gained by the arrow is equal to the work done in stretching the bow:

$K=W=9 J$

Given the formula for the kinetic energy:

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

we can find the speed v of the arrow:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 9J}{0.030 kg}}=24.5 m/s$

13c) 30.6 m

If shot vertically upward, at the point of maximum height all the initial kinetic energy of the arrow is converted into gravitational potential energy:

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

Re-arranging the formula and using the initial speed of the arrow, we can find its maximum height h:

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{(24.5 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)}=30.6 m$

14) 20 m/s

We can solve the problem by using the work-energy theorem. In fact, the work done by the frictional force of the brake is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:

$W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i$

$Fd=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

$F=-2500 N$ is the force applied by the brakes (with a negative sign, since it is opposite to the displacement of the car)

$d=100 m$ is the displacement of the car

$m=1000 kg$ is the car's mass

$v$ is the final speed of the car

$u=30 m/s$ is the initial speed of the car

By re-arranging the equation, we can find v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(Fd+\frac{1}{2}mu^2)}{m}}=20 m/s$

15) 5.0 m/s

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy:

$U_i + K_i = U_f + K_f\\mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the pendulum

$h_i=1.2 m$ is the initial height of the pendulum

$u=3 m/s$ is the initial speed of the pendulum

$h_f=0.4 m$ is the final height of the pendulum

$v$ is the final speed of the pendulum

Re-arranging the equation, we can find v:

$v=\sqrt{2gh_i + u^2 - 2gh_f}=5.0 m/s$

16) Point B (at the top of the loop)

Gravitational potential energy is defined as:

$U=mgh$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. Therefore, we see that the potential energy is proportional to h: the higher the ball above the ground, the greater its potential energy. In this example, the point of maximum height is point B, therefore it is the point where the ball has the largest potential energy.

17) Law of conservation of energy: the total mechanical energy of an isolated object is conserved (if no frictional force act on it)

Example: A stone left falling from rest from a cliff. Let's call h the height of the cliff, m the mass of the stone. The mechanical energy of the stone is constant, and it is sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K$

At the top of the cliff, the kinetic energy is zero (the stone is at rest), so all its energy is potential energy:

$E_i = U_i = mgh$

When the stone falls, its energy is converted into kinetic energy. Just before hitting the ground, the height has become zero, h=0, so the potential energy is zero and all the mechanical energy is now kinetic energy:

$E_f=K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write

$E_i=E_f\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\2gh=v^2$

If Faraday had used a more powerful battery in his experiments with electromagnetic induction, what effect would this have had o

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The value of current generated would increase.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.

As an object moves from point A to point B only two forces act onit: one force is nonconservative and does -30 J of work, the ot

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of energy conservation. On the one hand we have that the work done by the non-conservative force is equivalent to -30J while the work done by the conservative force is 50J.

This leads to the direct conclusion that the resulting energy is 20J.

The conservative force is linked to the movement caused by the sum of the two energies, therefore there is an increase in kinetic energy. The decrease in the mechanical energy of the system is directly due to the loss given by the non-conservative force, therefore there is a decrease in mechanical energy.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Kintetic energy increases and mechanical energy decreases.

A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 4.0 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.32 m b) -2.4 m c) 1.08 m/s d) -4 m/s

Explanation:

a)

As the x and y axes (as chosen) are perpendicular each other, the movements along these axes are independent each other.
This means that we can use the kinematic equations for displacements along both axes.
In the x direction, as the only initial velocity is in the south direction (-y axis), the skateboarder is at rest, so we can write:

$x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)$

In the y-direction, as no acceleration is acting on the skateboarder, we can write the following displacement equation:

$y = v_{0y} * t (2)$

For t = 0.6s, replacing by the givens, we get the position (displacement from the origin) on the x-axis, as follows:

$x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} =\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 m/s2*(0.6s)^{2}\\ x = 0.32 m$

b)

From (2) we can get the position on the y-axis (displacement from the origin) as follows:

$y = v_{0y} * t = -4 m/s * 0.6 s = -2.4 m$

c)

In the x- direction, we can find the component of the velocity along this direction, as follows:

$v_{fx} = a*t$

Replacing by the values, we have:

$v_{fx} = a*t = 1.8 m/s2 * 0.6 s = 1.08 m/s$

d)

As the skateboarder moves along the y-axis at a constant speed equal to her initial velocity, we have:

vfy = voy = -4 m/s
