The frictional force is oposing the force that we apply to this mass. Therefore the overall force is F_{total}=F_{applied}-F_{friction}=20-15 =5 (Newton)
The second principle of physics tells us that the acceleration of a mass is direct proportional to the applied force, the mass of that object being the proportionality constant.
F=m*a
Hence a= \frac{F}{m}=5/10 =0.5 (m/s^2)

Stella [2.4K]

Given :

Thin hoop with a mass of 5.0 kg rotates about a perpendicular axis through its center.

A force F is exerted tangentially to the hoop. If the hoop’s radius is 2.0 m and it is rotating with an angular acceleration of 2.5 rad/s².

To Find :

The magnitude of F.

Solution :

Torque on hoop is given by :

\tau =F\times R\\\\I\alpha = FR\\\\MR^2\alpha = FR\\\\F = MR\alpha( Moment of Inertia of hoop is MR² )

Putting  value of M, R and α in above equation, we get :

F=5\times 2\times 2.5\ N\\\\F = 25  \ N

Therefore, the magnitude of force F is 25 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.
inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

         E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

            = \frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}

           = 1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

                   ma = qE

       a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

          = 1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

According to the third equation of motion,

         v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d

or,      d = \frac{v^{2}}{2d}

             = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}

             = 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

A 150-N box is being pulled horizontally in a wagon accelerating uniformly at 3.00 m/s2. The box does not move relative to the w
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 50-kg load is suspended from a steel wire of diameter 1.0 mm and length 11.2 m. By what distance will the wire stretch? Young'
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

3.5 cm

Explanation:

mass, m = 50 kg

diameter = 1 mm

radius, r = half of diameter = 0.5 mm = 0.5 x 10^-3 m

L = 11.2 m

Y = 2 x 10^11 Pa

Area of crossection of wire = π r² = 3.14 x 0.5 x 10^-3 x 0.5 x 10^-3  

                                              = 7.85 x 10^-7 m^2

Let the wire is stretch by ΔL.

The formula for Young's modulus is given by

Y =\frac{mgL}{A\Delta L}

\Delta L =\frac{mgL}{A\times Y}

ΔL = 0.035 m = 3.5 cm

Thus, the length of the wire stretch by 3.5 cm.
