The block's potential energy at the top of the incline (at a height h from the horizontal surface) is equal to its kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline, so that

mgh = 1/2 mv²

where v is its speed at the bottom of the incline. It follows that

v = √(2gh)

If the incline is 20.4 m long, that means the block has a starting height of

sin(15°) = h/(20.4 m)   ⇒   h = (20.4 m) sin(15°) ≈ 5.2799 m

and so the block attains a speed of

v = √(2gh) ≈ 10.1728 m/s

The block then slides to a rest over a distance d. Kinetic friction exerts a magnitude F over this distance and performs an amount of work equal to Fd. By the work-energy theorem, this quantity is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy, so that

Fd = 0 - 1/2 mv²   ⇒   d = (-1293.58 J)/F

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block as it slides is

∑ F [vertical] = n - mg = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force, so that

n = mg = (25 kg) g = 245 N

and thus the magnitude of friction is

F = -0.16 (245 N) = -39.2 N

(negative since it opposes the block's motion)

Then the block slides a distance of

d = (-1293.58 J) / (-39.2 N) ≈ 32.9994 m ≈ 33 m

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m
sergey [27]

Answer:

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of vehicle, m=1350\ kg
  • radius of curvature, r=71\ m
  • coefficient of friction, \mu=0.23

<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>

m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N

where:

\mu= coefficient of friction

N= normal reaction force due to weight of the car

v= velocity of the car

1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1} is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg

One hundred jumping beans are placed along the center line of a gymnasium floor at six-inch intervals. Twelve hours later, the d
stira [4]

Answer:

a) Diffusion  coefficient, D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jump frequency, f = 0.0833 Hz

Explanation:

a) The relationship between the diffusion coefficient, time and mean displacement and can be given by the expression:

^{2} = 2Dt..........(1)

Where <r> = mean displacement

D = Diffusion coefficient

t = time = 12 hrs

sum of the squares of the distance divided by 100 is 36 in2.

<r>²= 36 in²

Substituting these values into equation (1) above

36 = 2 * D *12\\36 = 24 D\\D = 36/24\\D = 1.5 in/hr

b) Mean jumping distance, <r> = 0.1 inches

Applying equation (1) again

Where D = 1.5 in/hr

^{2} = 2Dt

0.1^{2}  = 2 * 1.5t\\0.01 = 3t\\t = 0.01/3\\t = 0.0033 hrs\\t = 0.0033 * 3600\\t = 12 seconds

The mean jump frequency, f = 1/t

f = 1/12

f = 0.0833 Hz
