A block with mass m = 0.200 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a ramp that is at an angle of 53.0∘ above the horizontal. The spring has 8.00 J of elastic potential energy stored in it. The spring is released, and the block moves up the incline. After the block has traveled a distance of 3.00 m, its speed is 4.00 m/s. Part A What is the magnitude of the friction force that the ramp exerts on the block while the block is moving? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]0.566\; \rm N[/tex] (assuming that while the block is moving, the friction on the block is constant.)

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its:

elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, andkinetic energy.

Friction does work on the block as the block moves up the ramp. The amount of energy that the block-string system has lost would be equal in size to the work that friction has done on the block. The size of the friction on the block could thus be computed.

Before this block was released, the block-spring system has no kinetic energy because there was no movement. Assume that the system has no gravitational potential energy at that moment, either. The only type of mechanical energy in this system at that moment would be elastic potential energy: [tex]8\; \rm J[/tex] according to the question.

The question states that the ramp is [tex]53.0^\circ[/tex] above horizontal. Therefore, after the block has traveled [tex]3.00\; \rm m[/tex] (along the ramp,) the height of this block would have increased by [tex]\Delta h = 3.00\; \rm \sin\left(53^\circ\right) \approx 2.39591\; \rm m[/tex]. Calculate the corresponding gain in gravitational potential energy:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h\\ &\approx 0.200\; \rm kg& \\\ &\quad\times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \\ &\quad \times 2.39591\; \rm m \\ &\approx 4.70077\; \rm J\end{aligned}[/tex].

On the other hand, the question states that the speed of the block ([tex]m = 0.200\; \rm kg[/tex]) at that moment is [tex]v = 4.00\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]. Calculate the corresponding kinetic energy:

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2} = 1.6\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].

Because the block was already released, there should be no elastic potential energy in the spring.

Hence, the mechanical of the block-spring system would be approximately [tex]4.70077\; \rm J+ 1.6\; \rm J \approx 6.30077\; \rm J[/tex].

Approximate the amount of mechanical energy that is lost:

[tex]8\; \rm J - 6.30077\; \rm J \approx 1.69923\; \rm J[/tex].

In other words, when applied over [tex]3\; \rm m[/tex], the friction on this block would do approximately [tex]1.69923\; \rm J[/tex] of work. Approximate the size of that friction:

[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{W}{s} \\ &\approx \frac{1.69923\; \rm J}{3.00\; \rm m}\approx 0.566\; \rm N\end{aligned}[/tex].

An unknown radioactive sample is observed to decrease in activity by a factor of two in a one hour period. What is its half-life?

Answers

Answer:

The half-life is [tex] t_{1/2} = 1.005 h[/tex]

Explanation:

Using the decay equation we have:

[tex]A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]

Where:

λ is the decay constantA(0) the initial activityA is the activity at time t

We know the activity decrease by a factor of two in a one hour period (t = 1 h), it means that [tex]A = \frac{A_{0}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{A_{0}}{2}=A_{0}e^{-\lambda*1 h}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=e^{-\lambda*1 h}[/tex]

Taking the natural logarithm on each side we have:

[tex]ln(0.5)=-\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=0.69 h^{-1}[/tex]

Now, the relationship between the decay constant λ and the half-life t(1/2) is:

[tex]\lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{0.69}[/tex]

[tex] t_{1/2} = 1.005 h[/tex]

A.
16.7 seconds

B.
66.7 seconds

C.
83.3 seconds

D.
100 seconds

Answers

Answer:

t = 66.7 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a hare, v = 15 m/s

Speed of a turbocharged tortoise, v' = 3 m/s

The hare in a 250 meter race

Let the Hare takes time t. It can be calculated as follows :

[tex]t=\dfrac{250}{15}=16.67\ s[/tex]

Let a turbocharged tortoise takes t'. It can be calulated as follows :

[tex]t'=\dfrac{250}{3}= 83.33\ s[/tex]

To tie the race, required time is given by :

[tex]\Delta t = t'-t\\\\=83.33-16.67\\\\=66.66\ s\\\\\approx 66.7\ s[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is (b) i.e. 66.7 seconds.

A vertical tube one meter long is open at the top. It is filled with 50 cm of water. If the velocity of sound is 344 m/s, what will the fundamental resonant frequency be (in Hz)?

Answers

Answer:

The fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of sound, v = 344 m/s

total length of tube, Lt = 1 m = 100 cm

height of water, hw = 50 cm

length of air column, L = Lt - hw = 100 cm - 50 cm = 50 cm

For a tube open at the top (closed pipe), the fundamental wavelength is given as;

Node to anti-node (N ---- A) : L = λ / 4

λ = 4L

λ = 4 (50 cm)

λ = 200 cm = 2 m

The fundamental resonance frequency is given by;

[tex]f_0 = \frac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f_0 = \frac{344}{2}\\\\f_0 = 172 \ Hz\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the fundamental resonance frequency is 172 Hz.

c. 6 N.
d. 24 N.
e. 30 N.

Answers

Answer:

D. The force on the wire is 24 N.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the wire,  L = 0.6 m

current in the wire, I = 4 A

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 10 T

[2.21] Please help me find a) and b)

Answers

Answer:

A. 28.42 m/s

B. 41.21 m.

Explanation:

A. Determination of the initial velocity of the ball:

Time (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.9 s

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = –9.8 m/s² (since the ball is going against gravity)

Initial velocity (u) =?

Thus, we can obtain the initial velocity of the ball as follow:

v = u + gt

0 = u + (–9.8 × 2.9)

0 = u – 28.42

Collect like terms

u = 0 + 28.42

u = 28.42 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.42 m/s.

B. Determination of the maximum height reached.

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = –9.8 m/s² (since the ball is going against gravity)

Initial velocity (u) = 28.42 m/s.

Maximum height (h) =?

Thus, we can obtain the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

0² = 28.42² + (2 × –9.8 × h)

0 = 807.6964 + (–19.6h)

0 = 807.6964 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 807.6964 = – 19.6h

– 807.6964 = – 19.6h

Divide both side by – 19.6

h = –807.6964 / –19.6

h = 41.21 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 41.21 m

A car goes around a circular track at 30 m/s. If the radius of the curve is 90 m, what is the period of the car's revolution around the track?

Answers

Answer:

18.9s

Explanation:

Using the formula;

ω = v/r

Where;

ω = angular velocity (rad/s)

v = linear velocity (m/s)

r = radius of the circular track (m)

According to the given information, v = 30m/s, r = 90m

ω = v/r

ω = 30/90

ω = 3/9

ω = 0.3333 radians/seconds.

Since ω = 2π/T

Where;

π = 3.142

T = period (s)

ω = angular velocity

0.333 = 2 × 3.142/T

T = 2 × 3.142/0.333

T = 6.284/0.333

T = 18.87s

T = 18.9s

a mass of 2.00 kg rest on a rough horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.60. The block is attached to a hanging mass by a string that goes over a smooth pulley,as shown in the diagram. Determine the largest mass that can hang in this way without forcing the block to slide.

Answers

Answer:

1.2 kg

__________________________________________________________

We are given:

Mass of the block = 2 kg

Coefficient of Static Friction = 0.6

__________________________________________________________

Friction Force on the Block:

Finding the Normal Force:

We know that the normal force will be equal and opposite to the weight of the 2 kg block

So, Normal Force = mg

replacing the variables with the given values

Normal Force = (2)(9.8)                    [Taking g = 9.8]

Normal Force = 19.6 N

Friction force on the Block:

We know that:

Coefficient of Static Friction =  Static Friction Force/Normal Force

replacing the variables

0.6 = Static Friction force / 19.6

Static Friction force = 0.6*19.6 N                 [Multiplying both sides by 19.6]

Static Friction force = 11.76 N

__________________________________________________________

Largest Mass that can Hang:

We know that the Static Friction force is 11.76 N, this means that a force of 11.76 N will be applied to keep the object at rest

So, if the weight of the second block is less than the static friction force, it will hang

Weight of the second block ≤ 11.76

We know that weight = mg

mg ≤ 11.76

m(9.8) ≤ 11.76                                                   [since g = 9.8]

m ≤ 1.2 kg                                                        [dividing both sides by 9.8]

From this, we can say that the maximum mass of the second block is 1.2 Kg

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

Answers

Answer:

724.3J/Kg.K

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas.and compare with specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

The specific heat capacity can be computed by using expression below

c= CV/M

Where c= specific heat capacity

M= molar mass

CV= molar hear capacity

Nitrogen is a diatomic element, the Cv can be related to gas constant with 5/2R

Where R= 8.314J/mol.k

Molar mass= 28 ×10^-3Kg/mol

If we substitute to the expression, we have

c= (5R/2)/(M)

=5R/2 × 1/M

=(5×8.314) /(2×28 ×10^-3)

=724.3J/Kg.K

Hence, the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas is

724.3J/Kg.K

The specific heat of liquid water is about 4182 J/(K kg) which is among substance with high specific heat, therefore specific heat of Nitrogen gas is 724.3J/Kg.K which is low compare to that of liquid water.

Complete Question

a car traveling at 28.4 m/s undergoes a constant deceleration of 1.92 m/s2 when the breaks are applied. How many revolutions does each tire make before the car comes to a stop? Assume that the car does not skid and that each tire has a radius of 0.307 m. Answer in units of rev.

Answer:

The value is  [tex]N = 109 \ rev[/tex]      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The speed of the car is  [tex]u = 28.4 \ m/s[/tex]

     The constant deceleration experienced is  [tex]a = 1.92 \ m/s^2[/tex]

      The radius of the tire is  [tex]r = 0.307 \ m[/tex]

     

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      [tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]

Here  v is the final velocity which is  0 m/s

   So

         [tex]0^2 = 28.4^2 + 2 * 1.92 * s[/tex]

=>      [tex]s = 210.04 \ m[/tex]

Generally the circumference of the tire is mathematically represented as

         [tex]C = 2 \pi r[/tex]

=>      [tex]C = 2 * 3.142 * 0.307[/tex]    

=>      [tex]C = 1.929 \ m[/tex]

Generally the number of revolution is mathematically represented as

         [tex]N = \frac{ s}{C}[/tex]    

=>     [tex]N = \frac{210.04}{1.929}[/tex]

=>     [tex]N = 109 \ rev[/tex]

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 18,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences due to the presence of the asteroid. The mass of the asteroid is 8.7 X 10^20 kg and the mass of Sally is 77 kg. For calculation purposes assume the two objects to be point masses.

Answers

Answer:

F = 0.014 N

Explanation:

Assuming that both masses are point masses, the force that Sally experiences due to the mass of Ceres, is given by the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, as follows:

       [tex]F_{SC} =G *\frac{m_{S}*m_{C} }{r_{SC} ^{2} } (1)[/tex]

       where G= Universal Constant of Gravitation = 6.67*10⁻¹¹ N*m2/kg2

       mS = mass of Sally = 77 kg.

       mC = mass of Ceres = 8.7*10²⁰ kg

       rSC = distance between Sally and Ceres = 18,000 km

Replacing by the values, we get:

       [tex]F_{SC} =6.67e-11 N*m2/kg2 *\frac{77kg*8.7e20kg}{(18,000km)^{2}} = 0.014 N (2)[/tex]

A container contains a number of marbles each having a mass 80 mg. If the total mass of the marbles in the container is 2 kg. find the numbers in the container​

Answers

Answer:

There are 25,000 marbles in the container

Explanation:

There is a certain number of marbles in a container.

We know each marble has a mass of 80 mg and we also know the total mass of the marbles in the container is 2 Kg.

Since the data is given in different units of mass, we convert them into one unit in common.

Let's convert 2 Kg to milligrams. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, and there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram, thus there are one million milligrams in one kilogram, that is:

1 Kg = 1,000,000 mg

And 2 Kg = 2,000,000 mg

The number of marbles can be found by dividing the total mass by the individual mass:

No. of marbles = 2,000,000 / 80 = 25,000

There are 25,000 marbles in the container
