You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 20degrees . You're sitting on the very top of the roof w

hen Peter, who is at the edge of the roof directly below you, 5.4 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.1 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.51, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?

Answer:

v₀ =3.8 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law of the box:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Known data

m=2.1 kg mass of the box

d= 5.4m length of the roof

θ = 20° angle θ of the roof with respect to the horizontal direction

μk= 0.51 : coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Forces acting on the box

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the box on the roof and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

W: Weight of the box : In vertical direction

N : Normal force : perpendicular to the direction the roof

fk : Friction force: parallel to the direction to the roof

Calculated of the weight of the box

W= m*g = (2.1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)= 20.58 N

x-y weight components

Wx= Wsin θ= (20.58)*sin(20)° =7.039 N

Wy= Wcos θ =(20.58)*cos(20)°= 19.34 N

Calculated of the Normal force

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0

N-Wy= 0

N=Wy =19.34 N

Calculated of the Friction force:

fk=μk*N= 0.51* 19.34 N = 9.86 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax , ax= a : acceleration of the block

Wx-f = ( 2.1)*a

7.039 - 9.86 = ( 2.1)*a

-2.821 = ( 2.1)*a

a=(-2.821) /( 2.1)

a= -1.34 m/s²

Kinematics of the box

Because the box moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula to calculate the final speed of the block :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

Where:

d:displacement = 5.4 m

v₀: initial speed

vf: final speed = 0

a : acceleration of the box = -1.34 m/s²

We replace data in the formula (2)

0²=v₀²+2*(-1.34)*(5.4)

2*(1.34)*(5.4)= v₀²

$v_{o} =\sqrt{14.472}$

v₀ = 3.8 m/s

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.

fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force $N= mg cos 22$

$\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N$

Airida [17]

Answer:

Mobility of the minority carriers, $\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

Diffusion coefficient for minority carriers, $D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

Verified from Einstein relation as $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 25 mV$

Explanation:

Length of sample, $l_{s} = 2 cm$

Separation between the two probes, L = 1.8 cm

Drift time, $t_{d} = 0.608 ms$

Applied voltage, V = 5 V

Mobility of the minority carriers ( electrons), $\mu_{n} = \frac{V_{d} }{E}$

Where the drift velocity, $V_{d} = \frac{L}{t_{d} }$

$V_{d} = \frac{1.8}{0.608 * 10^{-3} } \\V_{d} = 2960.53 cm/s$

and the Electric field strength, $E = \frac{V}{l_{s} }$

E = 5/2

E = 2.5 V/cm

Mobility of the minority carriers:

$\mu_{n} = 2960.53/2.5\\\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

The electron diffusion coefficient, $D_{n} = \frac{(\triangle x)^{2} }{16 t_{d} }$

$\triangle x = (\triangle t )V_{d}$ , where Δt = separation of pulse seen in an oscilloscope in time( it should be in micro second range)

$\triangle x = \frac{(\triangle t) L}{t_{d} } \\\triangle x = \frac{180*10^{-6} * 1.8}{0.608*10^{-3} }\\\triangle x =0.533 cm$

$D_{n} = \frac{0.533^{2} }{16 * 0.608 * 10^{-3} }\\D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

For the Einstein equation to be satisfied, $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{KT}{q} = 0.025 V$

$\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{29.20}{1184.21} \\\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 0.025 = 25 mV$

Verified.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.6 cm. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

Helga [31]

We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J
