Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

A stone is thrown horizontally from 2.4m above the ground at 35m/s. The wall is 14m away and 1m high.At what height the stone wi

KIM [24]

The stone reaches the wall at a height of 1.62 m.

The stone lands at a point 24.5 m from the point of projection.

The stone is projected horizontally with a velocity u at a height h from the ground. The wall is located at a distance x from the point of projection. The stone takes a time t to reach the wall and in the same time the stone falls a vertical distance y.

The horizontal distance x is traveled with a constant velocity u.

$x=ut$

Calculate the time taken t.

$t=\frac{x}{u} \\ =\frac{14m}{35 m/s} \\ =0.40s$

The stone's initial vertical velocity is zero. It falls through a distance y in the time t under the action of acceleration due to gravity g.

$y=\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ \frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)(0.40s)^2\\ =0.784m$

The height h₁ of the stone above the ground when it reaches the wall is given by,

$h_1=h-y\\ =(2.4m)-(0.784m)\\ =1.616m=1.62m$

When the stone reaches the wall, its height from the ground is 1.62m.

The stone thus crosses over the wall, since the height of the wall is 1 m. It reaches the ground at a distance R from the point of projection. If the time taken by the stone to reach the ground is t₁, then,

$h=\frac{1}{2} gt_1^2$

Calculate the time taken by the stone to reach the ground.

$t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{2(2.4m)}{9.81m/s^2} } \\ =0.699 s$

The horizontal distance traveled by the stone is given by,

$R=ut_1 \\ =(35m/s)(0.699s)\\ =24.5m$

The stone lands at point 24.5 m from the point of projection and 10.5 m from the wall.

2. Harry is pushing a car down a level road at 2.0 m/s with a force of 243 N. The total force

Arte-miy333 [17]

b) Equal to 243 N.

Explanation:

The total force acting on the car in the opposite direction including the road friction and air resistance is equal to 243 N.

This is in conformity with newton's third law of motion.

Newton's third law of motion states that "action and reaction are equal and opposite in direction. "

The action force is that of the pull by Harry acting on the car.
The reaction force is in the opposite direction.
Both action and reaction force equal and opposite and magnitude and direction

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.
