Answer: 2.5m/s²

Explanation:

F=ma

F=5000N

m=2000kg

----------------

a=F/m

a=5000 N/ 2000 kg

a=2.5m/s²

A wind is blowing a small ice fishing shed along the ice to the east with a 800N force. The shed weighs 2,200N. What would the l
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

The maximum force of friction exerted by the surface is given by:

F_f = \mu N (1)

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal reaction

The shed's weight is 2200 N. Since there is no motion along the vertical direction, the normal reaction is equal and opposite to the weight, so

N = 2200 N

The horizontal force that is pushing the shed is

F = 800 N

In order for it to keep moving, the force of friction (which acts horizontally in the opposite direction) must be not greater than this value. So the maximum force of friction must be

F_f = 800 N

And substituting the values into eq.(1), we can find the maximum value of the coefficient of friction:

\mu = \frac{F_f}{N}=\frac{800}{2200}=0.36

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

(a) The length of the pendulum on Earth is 36.8cm

(b) The length of the pendulum on Mars is 13.5cm

(c) Mass suspended from the spring on Earth is 0.37kg

(d) Mass suspended from the spring on Mars is 0.36kg

Explanation:

Period = 1.2s, free fall acceleration on Earth = 9.8m/s^2, free fall acceleration on Mars = 3.7m/s^2

( a) Length of pendulum on Earth = [( period ÷ 2π)^2] × acceleration = (1.2 ÷ 2×3.142)^2 × 9.8 = 0.0365×9.8 = 0.358m = 35.8cm

(b) Length of the pendulum on Mars = (1.2÷2×3.142)^2 × 3.7 = 0.0365×3.7 = 0.135cm = 13.5m

(c) Mass suspended from the spring on Earth = (force constant×length in meter) ÷ acceleration = (10×0.358) ÷ 9.8 = 0.37kg

(d) Mass suspended from the spring on Mars = (10×0.135)÷3.7 = 0.36kg

How does wavelength change depending on whether the pipe is open or closed?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

* in a tube with both ends open

        λ = 2L / n                    n = 1, 2, 3,…

* tube with one end open and the other closed.  

         λ = 4L / n                     n = (2n ’+ 1 )

Explanation:

When a sound wave enters a pipe, a resonance process occurs, whereby only some wavelengths can occur.

 

* in a tube with both ends open

in this case there are maximums at each end, so if the length of the had is L

              λ = 2L 1st harmonic

              λ = 2 L / 2 2nd harmonic

              λ = 2L / 3

              λ = 2L / n                    n = 1, 2, 3,…

* In the case of a tube with one end open and the other closed.

At the open end there is a belly and at the closed end a node

              λ = 4L 1st harmonic

              λ = 4L / 3 3rd harmonic

              λ = 4L / 5

              λ = 4L / n                  n = 1, 3, 5,… odd

                                       n = (2n ’+ 1 )      where n’ are all integers
