This is a problem about a child pushing a stack of two blocks along a horizontal floor. The masses of the blocks, and the coeffi

cients of friction between the two blocks and between the lower block and the floor will be given. In order to do the pushing, the child will only be touching one of the two blocks. The mass of the upper block in the stack is 0.760 kg . The mass of the lower block in the stack is 1.630 kg . The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are: static 0.790, and kinetic 0.660. The child's mother, who likes to encourage his experiments, has oiled a small strip of the horizontal floor so that it is very slick; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the oiled section of floor and the lower block is only 0.080 and the coefficient of static friction is insignificantly different. Before the pushing starts, here is a question about the vertical forces acting on the two blocks.
Required:
What is the vertical component of the contact force on the lower block by the floor?

Answer:

 N = 23.4 N

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

  • The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
  • The displacement is 2 inches to the east.

Explanation:

Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector \hat{i} pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position

\vec{r}_0 = 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}

Then, moves to

\vec{r}_1 = 29 \ inch \ \hat{i}

so, the distance traveled here is

d_1 = |\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_0  | = | 29 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_1 =  | 13 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_1 =  13 \ inch

after this, the ant travels to

\vec{r}_2 = 14 \ inch \ \hat{i}

so, the distance traveled here is

d_2 = |\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1  | = | 14 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 29 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_2 =  | - 15 \ inch   \ \hat{i}  |

d_2 =  15 \ inch

The total distance traveled will be:

d_1 + d_2 = 13 \ inch + 15 \ inch = 28 \ inch

The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:

\vec{D}=\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1

\vec{D}= 14 \ inch   \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}

\vec{D}= - 2 \ inch \ \hat{i}

This is 2 inches to the east.

A 6.0-μF capacitor charged to 50 V and a 4.0-μF capacitor charged to 34 V are connected to each other, with the two positive pla
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5702.88 J or 5.7mJ

Explanation:

Given that :

C 1 = 6.0-μF

C 2 = 4.0-μF

V 1 = 50V

V 2 = 34V

Note that : Q = CV

Q 1 = C1 * V1

Q 1 = 50×6 = 300μC

Q 2 = 34×4 = 136μC

Parallel connection = C 1 + C 2

= 6+4 = 10μC

V = Qt/C

Where Qt = Q1+Q2

V = Q1+Q2/C

V = 300+136/10

V = 437/10

V = 43.6volts

Uc1 = 1/2×C1V^2

= 1/2 × 6μF × 43.6^2

= 1/2 × 6μF × 1900.96

= 3μF × 1900.96volts

= 5702.88J

= 5702.88J/1000

= 5.7mJ

Two strings are respectively 1.00 m and 2.00 m long. Which of the following wavelengths, in meters, could represent harmonics pr
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

5) 4.00, 2.00, 1.0

Explanation:

wave equation is given as;

F₀ = V / λ

Where;

F₀ is the fundamental frequency = first harmonic

Length of the string for first harmonic is given as;

L₀ = (¹/₂) λ  

λ  = 2 L₀

when L₀ = 1

λ  = 2 x 1 = 2m

when L₀ = 2m

λ  = 2 x 2 = 4m

For First harmonic, the wavelength is 2m, 4m

For second harmonic;

L₁ = (²/₂)λ  

L₁ = λ

When L₁ = 1

λ  = 1 m

when L₁ = 2

λ  = 2 m

For second harmonic, the wavelength is 1m, 2m

Thus, the wavelength that could represent harmonics present on both strings is 4m, 2m, 1 m

A runner runs 300 m at an average speed of 3.0 m/s. She then runs another 300m at an average
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

B. 4 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

Running for 300 m at 3 m/s takes 100 seconds and running at 300 m at 6 m/s takes 50 seconds. 100 s + 50 s = 150 s (total time). Total distance is 600 m, so 600 m/ 150 s = 4 m/s.
