Answer:

Pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.

Explanation:

We are given that

Force=1 N

1N= $1kg\times ms^{-2}$

We have to find the units comprise the pound.

Force=1 Pound

Mass=Slug

Acceleration= $ft/s^2$

Therefore,

1 pound= $1 slug\times fts^{-2}$

Therefore, we can write as 1 pound is equal to the product of slug and ft/square second.

Hence, pound is the product of slug and foot/square second.

A 14000N car traveling at 25m/s rounds a curve of radius 200m. Find the following: a. The centripetal acceleration of the car.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of car $W=14,000\ N$

mass of car $m=\frac{14,000}{9.8}=1428.57\ N$

velocity of car $v=25\ m/s$

radius $r=200\ m$

(a)Centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$a_c=\frac{25^2}{200}$

$a_c=3.125\ m$

(b)Force that provide centripetal acceleration

$F=F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$F=\frac{1428.57\times 25^2}{200}$

$F=4464.285\ N$

(c)Friction force between car and tires is given by

$=\mu N$

where $\mu$ =coefficient of static friction

N=normal reaction

Centripetal force will balance the friction force

$F_c=F_r$

$4464.285=\mu \times 1428.57\times 9.8$

$\mu =0.318$

At t = 0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 24.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 30.0rad/s2 until a ci

kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ=108rad

t =10.29seconds

α=-8.17rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

At t=0, Wo=24rad/sec

Constant angular acceleration =30rad/s²

At t=2, θ=432rad as it try to stop because the circuit break

Angular motion

W=Wo+αt

θ=Wot+1/2αt²

W²=Wo²+2αθ

We need to find θ between 0sec to 2sec when the wheel stop

a. θ=Wot+1/2αt²

θ=24×2+1/2×30×2²

θ=48+60

θ=108rad.

b. W=Wo+αt

W=24+30×2

W=84rad/s

This is the final angular velocity which is the initial angular velocity when the wheel starts to decelerate.

Wo=84rad/sec

W=0rad/s, because the wheel stop at θ=432rad

Using W²=Wo²+2αθ

0²=84²+2×α×432

-84²=864α

α=-8.17rad/s²

It is negative because it is decelerating

Now, time taken for the wheel to stop

W=Wo+αt

0=84-8.17t

-84=-8.17t

Then t =10.29seconds.

a. θ=108rad

b. t =10.29seconds

c. α=-8.17rad/s²

A force of 150 N accelerates a 25 kg wooden chair across a wood floor at 4.3 m/s2 . How big is the frictional force on the block

solniwko [45]

We can first calculate the net force using the given information.

By Newton's second law, F(net) = ma:

F(net) = 25 * 4.3 = 107.5

We can now calculate the frictional force, f, which is working against the applied force, F(app) (this is why the net force is a bit lower):

f = F(net) - F(app) = 150 - 107.5 = 42.5 N

Now we can calculate the coefficient of friction, u, using the normal force, F(N):

f = uF(n) --> u = f/F(N)
u = 42.5/[25(9.8)]
u = 0.17

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm
