Three masses are connected via light strings and an ideal pulley, as shown below. Mass m2 is twice as massive as m1; m3 is three

times as massive as m1. Everything is initially at rest, but then m3 is released, and it falls 1.30m to the floor. If the speed of m3 just before it hits the floor is 3 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the blocks? (Hint: Use an energy analysis)

The coefficient of the kinetic friction is 0.29

The coefficient of kinetic friction refers to the ratio of the frictional force restricting and opposing the motion of two contact surfaces to the normal force pushing the two surfaces around each other.

From the conservation of energy theorem;

The work done by friction = K.E + P.E

\mathbf{-\mu_k ( m_1 + m_2) g h = \dfrac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2 + m_3)v^2 - m_3gh}

where;

  • m₂ = 2m₁
  • m₃  = 3m₁

∴

\mathbf{-\mu_k ( m_1 + 2m_1)\times g \times 1.3  = \dfrac{1}{2} (m_1 + 2m_1+ 3m_1)3^2 - 3m_1\times 9.8 \times 1.3}

\mathbf{-\mu_k ( 3m_1 )\times g \times 1.3  = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 m_1 \times 9 - 3m_1\times 9.8 \times 1.3}

\mathbf{-\mu_k ( 3m_1 )\times g \times 1.3  =27 m_1  -38.22 m_1}

\mathbf{-\mu_k38.22m_1 =27 m_1  -38.22 m_1}

\mathbf{-\mu_k38.22m_1 =-11.22m_1}

\mathbf{\mu_k =\dfrac{-11.22m_1}{38.22m_1}}

\mathbf{\mu_k = 0.29 }

Therefore, the coefficient of the kinetic friction is 0.29

The single-pole, single-throw switch is normally wired ? between the source and the load to turn devices on and off.
zzz [600]

In series.

Single-pole and single-throw switch:

A switch with only one input and one output is referred to as a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch. This indicates that it has a single output terminal and a single input terminal.

A single pole, one throw switch functions as an on/off switch in circuits. The circuit is turned on when the switch is closed. The circuit is shut off when the switch is open.

Thus, SPST switches are relatively basic in design.

Circuit for a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch

Types:

According to the application, it can be divided into three categories, including:

  • Simple SPST
  • (ON)-OFF, Push-to-close, SPST Momentary
  • ON-(OFF), Push-to-Open, SPST Momentary
  • Inches Switch SPST

A 1.2 x 103 kg racecar, with a velocity of 8 m/s, collides with an unsuspecting 80 kg honey badger who is standing
aalyn [17]

Answer: 90 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of racecar M=1.2\times10^3\ kg

velocity of racecar u=8\ m/s

mass of still honeybadger m=80\ kg

after collision race car is traveling at a speed of v_1=2\ m/s

conserving linear momentum

Mu+m\times0=Mv_1+ mv_2\quad[v_2=\text{velocity of honeybadger after colllision}]

1.2\times10^3\times8+0=1.2\times10^3\times2+80\times v_2

1.2\times10^3(8-2)=80v_2\\v_2=\frac{7.2\times10^3}{80}=90\ m/s
