A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

), with x in meters and F in newtons. (Here exp is the exponential function.) How much work is done on the can by the force?

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

Tension may be defined as the pulling power transferred axially through a cable, string, chain, or alike one-dimensional unceasing object, or by separately end of a rod.

To compute for tension:

Sum the moments about the pivot: 


ΣM = 0 = T * 3.5m * sin37 º - 45000N * 7.0m * cos37º 
tension T = 119 434 N

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.
Reika [66]

Answer:

tan \theta = \mu_s

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0 (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, \theta the angle of the slope

\mu_s R is the frictional force, with \mu_s being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

R-mg cos \theta = 0

where

R is the normal reaction

mg cos \theta is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0

Re-arranging the equation,

sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of \mu_s, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

A brass lid screws tightly onto a glass jar at 20 degrees C. To help open the jar, it can be placed into a bath of hot water. Af
omeli [17]

Answer:

0.0016 cm

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Thermal coefficient of expansion of brass = 19\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C

\alpha_g = Thermal coefficient of expansion of glass = 9\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C

\Delta T = Change in temperature = (60-20)^{\circ}C

R_0 = Initial radius = 4 cm

Change in radius of material is given by

R=R_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)

Difference in radii of the lid and jar

\Delta R=R_b-R_g\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=R_0(1+\alpha_b\Delta T)-R_0(1+\alpha_g\Delta T)\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=R_0(\alpha_b-\alpha_g)\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=4\times (19\times 10^{-6}-9\times 10^{-6})\times (60-20)\\\Rightarrow \Delta R=0.0016\ cm

The size of the gap is 0.0016 cm or 0.000016 m

A pendulum of 50 cm long consists of small ball of 2kg starts swinging down from height of 45cm at rest. the ball swings down an
Ket [755]

Assuming that all energy of the small ball is transferred to the bigger ball upon impact, then we can say that:

Potential Energy of the small ball = Kinetic Energy of the bigger ball

Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height

Since the small ball start at 45 cm, then the height covered during the swinging movement is only:

height = 50 cm – 45 cm = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Calculating for Potential Energy, PE:

PE = 2 kg * 9.8 m / s^2 * 0.05 m = 0.98 J

Therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the bigger ball is:

<span>Max KE = PE = 0.98 J</span>

A 1.50-m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Resistance = 3.35*10^{-4} Ω

Explanation:

Since resistance R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

whereas \rho(x) = a + bx^2

resistivity is given for two ends. At the left end resistivity is 2.25* 10^{-8} whereas x at the left end will be 0 as distance is zero. Thus

2.25*10^{-8} = a + b(0)^2\\ 2.25*10^{-8} = a + 0 \\2.25*10^{-8} = a

At the right end x will be equal to the length of the rod, so x = 1.50\\8.50*10^{-8} = (2.25*10^{-8}) + ( b* (1.50)^2 )\\8.50*10^{-8} - (2.25*10^{-8}) = b*2.25\\\frac{6.25*10^{-8}}{2.25}  = b\\b = 2.77 *10^{-8}

Thus resistance will be R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

where A = π r^2

so,

R = \frac{8.50*10^{-8} * 1.50}{3.14*(1.10*10^{-2})^2} \\R=3.35 * 10 ^{-4}
