Answer:

F_a=1470\ N

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.  

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0

The friction forces are computed by

\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g

\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g

Simplifying

\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)

Plugging in the values

\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]

\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}

A student sits motionless on a stool that can turn friction-free about its vertical axis (total rotational inertia I). The stude
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem can be solved with the help of conservation of angular momentum.

Initial angular momentum

= I₁ω₀

When wheel is turned by 180 degree , its angular momentum becomes

- I₁ω₀ .

So total angular momentum

=  - I₁ω₀ . + I W where W is angular velocity of student .

Applying conservation of angular momentum

=I₁ω₀= - I₁ω₀ +I W

2 I₁ω₀ = I W

W = 2 I₁ω₀  /  I

Shows the position-versus-time graph of a particle in SHM. Positive direction is the direction to the right.
BaLLatris [955]

A) t = 0 s, 4 s, 8 s

B) t = 2 s, 6 s

C) t = 1 s, 3 s, 5 s, 7 s

Explanation:

A)

The figure is missing: find it in attachment.

A particle is said to be in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) when it is acted upon a restoring force proportional to its displacement, and therefore, the acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to its displacement (but in the opposite direction):

a\propto -x

Also, the displacement of a particle in SHM can be described by a sinusoidal function, as shown in the figure for the particle in this problem.

For the particle in this problem, from the figure we can see that the displacement is described by a function in the form

x(t)=A sin(\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T} is the angular frequency, where T is the period. From the graph, we see that the particle completes 1 oscillation in 4 seconds, so

T = 4 s

So the angular frequency is

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}rad/s

So

x(t)=Asin(\frac{\pi}{2}t)

The velocity of a particle in SHM can be found as the derivative of the displacement, so here we find:

v(t)=x'(t)=A\omega cos(\omega t) = \frac{A\pi}{2}cos(\frac{\pi}{2}t)

So, the particle is moving to the right at maximum speed when

cos(\frac{\pi}{2}t)=+1

(because this is the maximum positive value for the cosine part). Solving for t,

\frac{\pi}{2}t=0\\t=0 s

We also have another time in which this occurs, when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=2\pi\\\rightarrow t=\frac{4\pi}{\pi}=4 s

And also when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=4\pi\\\rightarrow t=8s

B)

In this case, we want to find the time t at which the particle is moving to the left at maximum speed.

This occurs when the cosine part has the maximum negative value, so when

cos(\frac{\pi}{2}t)=-1

Which means that this occurs when:

\frac{\pi}{2}t=\pi\\\rightarrow t=2 s

Also when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=3\pi\\\rightarrow t=6 s

So, the particle has maximum speed moving to the left at 2 s and 6 s.

C)

The particle is instantaneously at rest when the speed is zero, this means when the cosine part is equal to zero:

cos(\frac{\pi}{2}t)=0

This occurs when the argument of the cosine is:

\frac{\pi}{2}t=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\rightarrow t = 1 s

Also when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=\frac{3\pi}{2}\\\rightarrow t = 3 s

And when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=\frac{5\pi}{2}\\\rightarrow t = 5 s

And finally when

\frac{\pi}{2}t=\frac{7\pi}{2}\\\rightarrow t = 7s

So, the particle is at rest at t = 1 s, 3 s, 5 s, 7 s.

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max
sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

W = F.d

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = W_1 = Fdcos\theta

W_1 = 12*5cos15

W_1 = 57.96 J

Now similarly work done by frictional force

W_2 = Fdcos\theta

W_2 = 4*5cos180

W_2= -20 J

Now total work done on sled

W_{net}= W_1 + W2

W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st
wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N

1)After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. However, Sarah throws it too hard so it is over Julie's head when it r
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1)

v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2)

y=7.39\ m

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched near the Earth's surface forming an angle \theta with the horizontal plane, it describes a well-known path called a parabola. The only force acting (neglecting the effects of the wind) is the gravity, which acts on the vertical axis.

The heigh of an object can be computed as

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where y_o is the initial height above the ground level, v_{oy} is the vertical component of the initial velocity and t is the time

The y-component of the speed is

v_y=v_{oy}-gt

1) We'll find the vertical component of the initial speed since we have not enough data to compute the magnitude of v_o

The object will reach the maximum height when v_y=0. It allows us to compute the time to reach that point

v_{oy}-gt_m=0

Solving for t_m

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_{oy}}{g}

Thus, the maximum heigh is

\displaystyle y_m=y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}

We know this value is 8 meters

\displaystyle y_o+\frac{v_{oy}^2}{2g}=8

Solving for v_{oy}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2g(8-y_o)}

Replacing the known values

\displaystyle v_{oy}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(8-1.5)}

\displaystyle v_{oy}=11.29\ m/s

2) We know at t=1.505 sec the ball is above Julie's head, we can compute

\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5+(11.29)(1.505)-\frac{9.8(1.505)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=1.5\ m+16,991\ m-11.098\ m

y=7.39\ m
