horizontal. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate?

Answer:

Acceleration of the crate is 0.362 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box, m = 40 kg

Applied force, F = 15 N

Angle at which the force is applied, $(\theta)$ = 15°

We have to find the magnitude of the acceleration.

Let the acceleration be "a".

FBD is attached with where we can see the horizontal and vertical component of force.

⇒ $F_x=Fcos(\theta)$ and ⇒ $F_y=Fsin (\theta)$

⇒ $F_x=15cos(15)$ ⇒ $F_y=15sin (15)$

⇒ Applying concept of forces.

⇒ $\sum F_x=F_n_e_t =F-f$

⇒ $F_n_e_t =F-f$

⇒ $ma =F-f$ <em> ...Newtons second law Fnet = ma</em>

⇒ $a =\frac{F-f}{m}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $a =\frac{15cos(15)-0}{40}$ <em>...f is the friction which is zero here.</em>

⇒ $a =\frac{14.48}{40}$

⇒ $a=0.362\ ms^-^2$

Magnitude of the acceleration of the crate is 0.362 m/s^2.

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

un tanque de gasolina de 40 litros fue llenado por la noche, cuando la temperatura era de 68 grados farenheit. Al dia siguiente

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Volume of gasoline that expands and spills out is 1.33 ltr

Explanation:

As we know that when temperature of the liquid is increased then its volume will expand and it is given as

$\Delta V = V_o\gamma \Delta T$

here we know that

$V_o = 40 Ltr$

volume expansion coefficient of the gasoline is given as

$\gamma = 950 × 10^{–6}$

change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = (131 - 68) \times \frac{5}{9}$

$\Delta T = 35 ^oC$

Now we have

$\Delta V = 40(950 \times 10^{-6})(35)$

$\Delta V = 1.33 Ltr$

A large ebony wood log, totally submerged, is rapidly floating down a flooded river. If the mass of the log is 165 kg, what is t

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

F = 1618.65[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the following equation that relates the mass, density and volume of the body to the floating force.

We know that the density of wood is equal to 750 [kg/m^3]

density = m / V

where:

m = mass = 165[kg]

V = volume [m^3]

V = m / density

V = 165 / 750

V = 0.22 [m^3]

The floating force is equal to:

F = density * g * V

F = 750*9.81*0.22

F = 1618.65[N]

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The force does the ceiling exert on the hook is 269.59 N

Explanation:

Applying the second Newton law:

F = m*a

From the attached diagram, the net force in object 1 is:

$m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1}$

In object 2:

$m_{2} a=W_{2} -T_{2}$

Adding the two equations:

$m_{2} a+m_{1} a=T_{1} -W_{1} +W_{2} -T_{2} \\m_{1} =\frac{W_{1} }{g} \\m_{2} =\frac{W_{2} }{g} \\Replacing\\T_{2}-T_{1}=W_{2} -W_{1} -(\frac{W_{1} }{g} +\frac{W_{2} }{g} )a$ (eq. 1)

The torque:

$\tau =I\alpha$

Where

I = moment of inertia

α = angular acceleration

If the linear acceleration is

$a=r\alpha \\\alpha =\frac{a}{r} \\I=\frac{1}{2} mr^{2} \\\tau =\frac{mra}{2}$

Torque due the tension is equal:

$\tau =r(T_{2} -T_{1} )$

Substituting torque, mass, in equation 1, the expression respect the acceleration is:

$a=\frac{g*(W_{2}-W_{1})}{W_{1}+W_{2} +\frac{W}{2} }$

Where

W₁ = 75 N

W₂ = 125 N

W = 80 N

$a=\frac{9.8*(125-75)}{75+125+\frac{80}{2} } =2.04m/s^{2}$

The net force is:

$F_{n} =F-W-T_{1} -T_{2}\\0=F-W-W_{1} (\frac{a}{g} +1)-W_{2} (1-\frac{a}{g})\\F=W+W_{1} +W_{2} +\frac{a}{g} (W_{1} -W_{2} )\\F=80+75+125+\frac{2.04}{9.8} (75-125)\\F=269.59N$

A speed ramp at an airport is basically a large conveyor belt on which you can stand and be moved along. The belt of one ramp mo

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The belt ramp is moving at 0.047 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration is:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

where:

x = position at time "t"

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the object moves with constant speed, then, a = 0 and x = x0 + v * t

First, let´s find the lenght of the speed ramp by calculating the distance walked by Clifford.

x = x0 + v0 * t +1/2 * a * t²

x0 = 0 placing the origin of our reference system at the begining of the ramp

v0 = 0 Clifford starts from rest

t = 64 s / 4

a = 0.37 m/s²

Then:

x = 1/2 * 0.37 m/s² * 16 s = 3.0 m

Now that we know the lenght of the speed ramp, we can calculate the speed of the ramp which is constant:

x = x0 + v * t x0 = 0

x = v * t

x/t = v

<u>3.0 m / 64 s = 0.047 m/s</u>
