A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 26 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begin

s to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.26.
Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking.

Answer:

fcosθ + Fbcosθ  =Wtanθ

Explanation:

Consider the diagram shown in attachment

fx= fcosθ (fx: component of friction force in x-direction ; f: frictional force)

Fbx= Fbcosθ ( Fbx: component of braking force in x-direction ; Fb: braking force)

Wx= Wtanθ (Wx: component of weight in x-direction ; W: Weight of semi)

sum of x-direction forces = 0

fx+ Fbx=Wx

fcosθ + Fbcosθ  =Wtanθ

If period of the pendulum in preceding sample problem were 24s how tall would the tower be ?
frutty [35]

Answer:

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

Explanation:

We have given period of simple pendulum is 2 sec

We have to find the length of simple pendulum

Let the length of pendulum is l

Acceleration due to gravityg=9.8m/sec^2 is

Time period is given by T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 24=2\times 3.14\times  \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}

\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}=3.821

Squaring both side

{\frac{l}{9.8}}=14.60

l =143.129 m

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

The colored lines in the figure represent paths taken by different people walking around in a city. Assume that each city block
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 592.37m

Explanation:

Person D is the blue line.

The total displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position, if the initial position is (0,0) we have that he first goes down two blocks, then right 6 blocks. then up 4 blocks, then left 1 block.

Now i will considerate that the positive x-axis is to the right and the positive y-axis is upwards.

Then the new position will be, if B is a block:

P =(6*B - 1*B, -2*B + 4*B) = (5*B, 2*B)

And we know that B = 110m

P = (550m, 220m)

Now, then the displacement will be equal to the magnitude of our vector, (because the difference between P and the initial position is equal to P, as the initial position is (0,0))  this is:

P = √(550^2 + 220^2) = 592.37m

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ, where g=9.80meter/
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Analysis of structure gives

a=gsinθ−μkgcosθ

Notice that all the expression are right but we want to know of we can simplify the expression further.

We want to analyse if we can still further simplify the expression,

Inspecting the Right hand side of the equation, we notice that the acceleration due to gravity is common to both side, so we can bring it out i.e.

So option a is wrong because the expression can be simplified further to

a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Option b is right and the best option.

Since we are given that, g=9.8m/s²

We can as well substitute that to option a

So we will have

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

Also option C is correct but it is not best inserting the values of g directly without simplifying the expression first

So it will have been the best option if it was written as

a=9.8metre/second²(sinθ−μkcosθ)

So the best option is B.

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm
