Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are seated in a bus and notice that a hand strap that is hanging from the ceiling hangs away from the vertical in the backwa
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:C

Explanation:

It is given that hand strap moves from the vertical in the backward direction.

The direction of strap depends upon the acceleration of bus i.e. if bus is accelerating in forward direction then strap will move in backward direction and vice-versa.

The reason for moving backwards is due to the psuedo acting on strap which bends the strap in backward direction

angle of inclination is given by \tan \theta =\frac{a}{g}

where a=acceleration of bus

\theta=inclination of strap from vertical

so we cannot conclude anything about the direction of the velocity of the bus

GenaCL600 [577]

Complete Question

For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:

a. a car making a turn

b. a child swinging around a pole

c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel

d. a rock swinging on a string

e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Answer:

Considering a

    The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \

          i.e  \mu mg  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

    where \mu is the coefficient of static friction

Considering b

   The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys  hand on the pole

Considering c

     The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight

Considering d

     The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string

Considering e

      The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun

A wheel rotates without friction about a stationary horizontal axis at the center of the wheel. A constant tangential force equa
love history [14]

Answer:

I = 16 kg*m²

Explanation:

Newton's second law for rotation

τ = I * α   Formula  (1)

where:

τ : It is the moment applied to the body.  (Nxm)

I :  it is the moment of inertia of the body with respect to the axis of rotation (kg*m²)

α : It is angular acceleration. (rad/s²)

Kinematics of the wheel

Equation of circular motion uniformly accelerated :  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t  Formula (2)

Where:  

α : Angular acceleration (rad/s²)  

ω₀ : Initial angular speed ( rad/s)  

ωf : Final angular speed ( rad

t : time interval (rad)

Data  

ω₀ = 0

ωf = 1.2 rad/s

t = 2 s

Angular acceleration of the wheel  

We replace data in the formula (2):  

ωf = ω₀+ α*t

1.2= 0+ α*(2)

α*(2) = 1.2

α = 1.2 / 2

α = 0.6 rad/s²

Magnitude of the net torque (τ )

τ = F *R

Where:

F  = tangential force (N)

R  = radio (m)

τ = 80 N *0.12 m

τ = 9.6 N *m

Rotational inertia of the wheel

We replace data in the formula (1):

τ = I * α

9.6 = I *(0.6 )

I = 9.6 / (0.6 )

I = 16 kg*m²
