An object of mass M is dropped near the surface of Earth such that the gravitational field provides a constant downward force on

the object. Which of the following describes what happens to the center of mass of the object-Earth system as the object falls downward toward Earth? a. It moves toward the center of Earth. b. It moves toward the object.c. It does not move. d. The answer cannot be determined without knowing the mass of Earth and the distance between the object and Earth’s center.

Answer:

The answer is: c. It does not move

Explanation:

Because the gravitational force is characterized by being an internal force within the Earth-particle system, in this case, the object of mass M. And since in this system there is no external force in the system, it can be concluded that the center of mass of the system will not move.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

a) t=10.2s

b) The 2g-cube moves first

Explanation:

Since the electric force is the same on both cubes and so is the coefficient of static friction, the first one to move will be the one with less mass.

So, on the 2g-cube the sum of forces are:

\left \{ {{Ff-Fe=0} \atop {N-m*g=0}} \right.

Replacing the friction on the first equation:

\mu*m*g-Fe=0  Thus   Fe=\mu*m*g=12.74*10^{-3}N

The electric force is:

Fe = \frac{K*q^2}{d^2}  Solving for q:

q=71.44nC

This amount divided by the rate at which they are being charged:

t = 71.44nC / 7nC/s = 10.2s

A 5.0-kg crate is resting on a horizontal plank. The coefficient of static friction is 0.50 and the coefficient of kinetic frict
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The mass of the crate is 5kg.

We know that the force of friction can be obtained by:

F = N*k

where k is the coefficient of friction, where we use the static one if the object is at rest, and the kinetic one if the object os moving. N is the normal force

If we tilt the base making an angle of 30° with the horizontal, now the normal force against the plank will be equal to the fraction of the weight in the direction normal to the surface of the plank.

Knowing that the angle is 30°, then the fraction of the weight that pushes against the normal is Cos(30°)*W = cos(30°)*5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 42.4N

The fraction of the force in the parallel direction to the plank (the force that would accelerate the crate downwards) is:

F = sin(30°)*5k*9,8m/s = 24.5N

now, the statical friction force is:

Fs = 42.4N*0.5 = 21.2N

The statical force is less than the 24.5N, so the crate will move downwards, then the force that acts on the crate is the kinetic force of friction:

Fk = 42.4N*0.4 = 16.96N

Then, the total force that acts on the crate is:

total force = F - Fk = 24.5N - 16.69N = 7.54N and the direction of this force points downside along the parallel direction of the plank.

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The el
Alborosie

Answer:

I = 4.75 A

Explanation:

To find the current in the wire you use the following relation:

J=\frac{E}{\rho}      (1)

E: electric field E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004

ρ: resistivity of the material = 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters

J: current density

The current density is also given by:

J=\frac{I}{A}        (2)

I: current

A: cross area of the wire = π(d/2)^2

d: diameter of the wire = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for the current I:

\frac{I}{A}=\frac{E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{AE(t)}{\rho}

Next, you replace for all variables:

I(t)=\frac{\pi (d/2)^2E(t)}{\rho}\\\\I(t)=\frac{\pi(0.00205m/2)^2(0.0004t^2-0.0001t+0.0004)}{2.75*10^{-8}\Omega.m}\\\\I(t)=4.75A

hence, the current in the wire is 4.75A

A 1000 kg roller coaster begins on a 10 m tall hill with an initial velocity of 6m/s and travels down before traveling up a seco
balu736 [363]

Answer:

10.6 meters.

Explanation:

We use the law of conservation of energy, which says that the total energy of the system must remain constant, namely:

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i-1700j=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+mgh_f

In words this means that the initial kinetic energy of the roller coaster plus its gravitational potential energy minus the energy lost due to friction (1700j) must equal to the final kinetic energy at top of the second hill.

Now let us put in the numerical values in the above equation.

m=100kg

h_i=10m

v_i= 6m/s

v_f=4,6m/s

and solve for h_f

h_f= \frac{\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i-1700j-\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2}{mg} =\boxed{ 10.6\:meters}

Notice that this height is greater than the initial height the roller coaster started with because the initial kinetic energy it had.
