A 10-kg block is suspended in air by a single string that passes through a pulley and is attached on the other side to a 35-kg b

lock that is on the verge of sliding on the ground. What is the coefficient of static friction between the larger block and the ground? (Note: The magnitude of the vertical force the small block exerts on the large block is 87 N.)

Answer:

0.286

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2, and assume the pulley is frictionless, the weight by the 10kg block would exert a force on the 35kg block on the ground

Weight of the 10 kg-block = mg = 10 * 10 = 100 N

This force is balanced by static friction force from the ground due to the normal force of the 35kg block. So the friction force would also be 100N

The weight and normal force of the 35kg block is N = Mg = 35*10 = 350 N

The coefficient of the friction force if friction force divided by normal force:

\mu = \frac{F_f}{N} = \frac{100}{350} = 0.286

maksim [4K]

When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.

Answer:

t=0.704s

Explanation:

A child is running his 46.1 g toy car down a ramp. The ramp is 1.73 m long and forms a 40.5° angle with the flat ground. How long will it take the car to reach the bottom of the ramp if there is no friction?

from newton equation of motion , we look for the y component of the speed and look for the x component of the speed. we can then find the resultant of the speed

V^{2} =u^{2} +2as

Vy^2=0+2*9.8*1.73sin40.5

Vy^2=22.021

Vy=4.69m/s

Vx^2=u^2+2*9.81*cos40.5

Vy^2=25.81

Vy=5.08m/s

V=(Vy^2+Vx^2)^0.5

V=47.71^0.5

V=6.9m/s

from newtons equation of motion we know that force applied is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum on a body.

f=force applied

v=velocity final

u=initial velocity

m=mass of the toy, 0.046

f=ma

f=m(v-u)/t

v=u+at

6.9=0+9.8t

t=6.9/9.81

t=0.704s

gaseous h2 and br2 are added to an evacuated 1.15L container kept at 298K. The intial partial pressurre of H2(g) is 0.782 atm an
Nastasia [14]

The partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

H₂ + Br₂ ⇒ 2HBr

PH₂ = 0.782atm

PBr₂ = 0.493atm

Kp = (PHBr)²/ (PH₂) (PBr₂) = 1.4 X 10⁻²¹

At equilibrium:

Let 2x = pressure of HBr

PH₂ = 0.782 -x

PBr₂ = 0.493 - x

Kp = (2x)^2 / (0.782-x)(0.493-x)

Now, because Kp is very small, x will be very small compared to 0.782 and 0.493.

Then,

Kp = 1.4X10⁻²¹ = (4x²) / (0.782)(0.493)

x = 1.2X10⁻¹¹

PHBr = 2x = 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm

Therefore, the partial pressures of HBr when the system reaches equilibrium is 2.4 X 10⁻¹¹ atm
