A couch with a mass of 1.00 × 102 kg is placed on an adjustable ramp connected to a truck. As one end of the ramp is raised, the

couch begins to move downward. If the couch slides down the ramp with an acceleration of 0.79 m/s2 when the ramp angle is 12.0°, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the couch? (g = 9.81 m/s2A. 0.47B. 0.55C. 0.39D. 0.35

Answer: $\mu =0.13$

Explanation:

Given

mass of couch $m=1\times 10^2 kg$

acceleration of couch $a=0.79 m/s^2$

inclination $\theta =12^{\circ}$

Let coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu$

as couch begins to slides Forces act on couch

$mg\sin \theta -f_r=ma$ , where $f_r$ is friction force

$mg\sin \theta -\mu mg\cos \theta =ma$

therefore net acceleration is

$a=g\sin \theta -\mu g\cos \theta$

$0.79=9.8\cdot \sin (12)-\mu g\cos (12)$

$0.08061=0.2079-\mu 0.9781$

$\mu (0.9781)=0.1272$

$\mu =\frac{0.1272}{0.9781}$

$\mu =0.13$

Find the object's speeds v1, v2, and v3 at times t1=2.0s, t2=4.0s, and t3=13s.

Burka [1]

Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.

At time t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is 7/3 . v1 = 7/3 m/s .

At time t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
v2 = zero .

At time t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is -3/5 . v3 = -0.6 m/s .

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of you

olchik [2.2K]

PART A)

horizontal distance that will be moved = 14 m

Height of the fence = 5.0 m

height from which it is thrown = 1.60 m

angle of projection = 54 degree

So here we can say that stone will travel vertically up by distance

$\Delta y = 5 - 1.6 = 3.40 m$

now we will have displacement in horizontal direction

$\Delta x = 14 m$

now we know that

$v_x = vcos54$

$v_y = vsin54$

now we will have

$\Delta x = v_x t$

$14 = (vcos54)t$

also for y direction

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$3.40 = (vsin54)t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8) t^2$

now from the two equations we will have

$3.40 = (vsin54)(\frac{14}{vcos54}) - 4.9 t^2$

$3.40 = 14 tan54 - 4.9 t^2$

$3.40 = 19.3 - 4.9 t^2$

$t = 1.8 s$

now from above equations

$14 = vcos54 (1.8)$

$v = 13.2 m/s$

So the minimum speed will be 13.2 m/s

Part B)

Total time of the motion after which it will land on the ground will be "t"

so its vertical displacement will be

$\Delta y = -1.60 m$

now we will have

$-1.60 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-1.60 = (13.2sin54)t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 10.7t - 1.60 = 0$

$t = 2.3 s$

Now the time after which it will reach the fence will be t1 = 1.8 s

so total time after which it will fall on other side of fence

$t_2 = t - t_1$

$t_2 = 2.3 - 1.8 = 0.5 s$

now the displacement on the other side is given as

$\Delta x = (vcos54) t_2$

$\Delta x = (13.2 cos54)(0.5)$

$\Delta x = 3.88 m$

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 13.5 n accelerates at 6.5 m/s^2 to the right. what is the mass of the ball?

natita [175]

Answer:

2.08 kg

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to the object, according to the equation:

$F=ma$

where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this situation, the soccer ball is kicked with a force F=13.5 N and its acceleration is a=6.5 m/s^2, therefore its mass is

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{13.5 N}{6.5 m/s^2}=2.08 kg$

I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.
