a 15-kg block is on a frictionless ramp that is inclined at 20° above the horizontal. it is connected by a very light string ove

r an ideal pulley at the top edge of the ramp to a hanging 19-kg block, as shown in the figure. the string pulls on the 15-kg block parallel to the surface of the ramp. find the magnitude of the acceleration of the 19-kg block after the system is gently released?

Hi there!

Since the string is light and there is no friction in the pulley, the acceleration of the system is equal to the acceleration of both blocks.

We can begin by summing the forces of each block:

Block on incline:

- Force of gravity (in the negative direction away from the acceleration)

- Force of Tension

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T

Block hanging:

- Force of gravity (Positive, in direction of acceleration)

- Force of Tension (Negative, opposite from acceleration)

∑F = M₂g - T

Sum both of these net forces for each block:

∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

∑Fт = -M₁gsinФ + M₂g

Divide by the mass to solve for acceleration:

$a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta+M_2g}{M_1+M_2}$

Plug in the given values:

$a = \frac{-(15)(9.81)(sin20)+19(9.81)}{15+19} = 4.002 m/s^2$

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is :

v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by

$v^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ ) ........................................................ i

And,

v = $\frac{1}{2}$ v (max)

or, 2 × v = Aω .................................................... ii

Eliminating ω from equations i and ii,

$\frac{1}{4}$ $A^{2}$ $w^{2}$ = $w^{2}$ ( $A^{2}$ - $y^{2}$ )

or, $y^{2}$ = ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $A^{2}$ =( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) $2.18^{2}$

or, y = 3.56 cm.

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the

andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

$F = mg$

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

$\sum \tau = 0$

Regarding the forces we have,

$3Mg-1mg=0$

Re-arrange to find M,

$M = \frac{m}{3}$

$M = \frac{50}{3}$

$M = 16.67Kg$

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg

By what factor would your weight be multiplied if the earth were1/2 as massavise and the diameter was unchanged

Nutka1998 [239]

<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then:

F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2))

The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today!

Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size.

This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2.

Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by:

F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F

So:

F' = 8F

This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%!

You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>

Inside a television picture tube there is a build-up of electrons (charge of 1.602 × 10^–19 C) with an average spacing of 38.0 n

Brut [27]

The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.

E = kQ/r²

where:
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9<span> N. m</span>2<span> / C</span><span>2

Given are the following:
Q = </span><span>1.602 × 10^–19 C
</span><span>r = 38 x 10^-9 m

Substitue the given:
E = </span> $\frac{( 1.602 x 10^{-19} )( 9.0x10_{9} )}{(38x10^{-9}) ^{2} }$

E = 998.476 kN/C
