3. A block of mass m1=1.5 kg on an inclined plane of an angle of 12° is connected by a cord over a mass-less, frictionless pulley to a second block of a mass m2= 1.2 kg hanging vertically. If the hanging block falls 0.92min 1.23 s, what is the coefficient of friction between m1 and the inclined plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

$\mu=0.377$

Explanation:

we need to start by drawing the free body diagram for each of the masses in the system. Please see attached image for reference.

We have identified in green the forces on the blocks due to acceleration of gravity ( $w_1$ and $w_2$ ) which equal the product of the block's mass times "g".

On the second block ( $m_2$ ), there are just two forces acting: the block's weight ( $m_2\,*\,g$ ) and the tension (T) of the string. We know that this block is being accelerated since it has fallen 0.92 m in 1.23 seconds. We can find its acceleration with this information, and then use it to find the value of the string's tension (T). We would need both these values to set the systems of equations for block 1 in order to find the requested coefficient of friction.

To find the acceleration of block 2 (which by the way is the same acceleration that block 1 has since the string doesn't stretch) we use kinematics of an accelerated object, making use of the info on distance it fell (0.92 m) in the given time (1.23 s):

$x_f-x_i=v_i\,t-(1)/(2) a\,t^2$ and assume there was no initial velocity imparted to the block:

$x_f-x_i=v_i\,t-(1)/(2) a\,t^2\n-0.92\,m=0\,-(1)/(2) a\,(1.23)^2\na=(0.92\,*\,2)/(1.23^2) \na=1.216 \,(m)/(s^2)$

Now we use Newton's second law in block 2, stating that the net force in the block equals the block's mass times its acceleration:

$F_(net)=m_2\,a\nw_2-T=m_2\,a\nm_2\,g-T=m_2\,a\nm_2\,g-m_2\,a=T\nm_2\,(g-a)=T\n1.2\,(9.8-1.216)\,N=T\nT=10.3008\,N$

We can round this tension (T) value to 10.3 N to make our calculations easier.

Now, with the info obtained with block 2 (a - 1.216 $(m)/(s^2)$ , and T = 10.3 N), we can set Newton's second law equations for block 1.

To make our study easier, we study forces in a coordinate system with the x-axis parallel to the inclined plane, and the y-axis perpendicular to it. This way, the motion in the y axis is driven by the y-component of mass' 1 weight (weight1 times cos(12) -represented with a thin grey trace in the image) and the normal force (n picture in blue in the image) exerted by the plane on the block. We know there is no acceleration or movement of the block in this direction (the normal and the x-component of the weight cancel each other out), so we can determine the value of the normal force (n):

$n-m_1\,g\,cos(12^o)=0\nn=m_1\,g\,cos(12^o)\nn=1.5\,*\,9.8\,cos(12^o)\nn=14.38\,N$

Now we can set the more complex Newton's second law for the net force acting on the x-axis for this block. Pointing towards the pulley (direction of the resultant acceleration $a$ ), we have the string's tension (T). Pointing in the opposite direction we have two forces: the force of friction (f ) with the plane, and the x-axis component of the block's weight (weight1 times sin(12)):

$F_(net)=m_1\,a\nT-f-w_1\,sin(12)=m_1\,a\nT-w_1\,sin(12)-m_1\,a=f\nf=[10.3-1.5\,*\,9.8\,sin(12)-1.5\,*1.216]\,N\nf=5.42\,N$

And now, we recall that the force of friction equals the product of the coefficient of friction (our unknown $\mu$ ) times the magnitude of the normal force (14.38 N):

$f=\mu\,n\n5.42\,N=\mu\,*\,14.38\,N\n\mu=(5.42)/(14.38)\n\mu=0.377$

with no units.

What is a Simple machine?

A simple machine is a mechanical device which changes the direction or magnitude of an applied force. In general, these machines can be defined as the simplest mechanisms which uses mechanical advantage also called as leverage to multiply the force. Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines which were defined by Renaissance scientists including lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw.

A simple machine uses a single applied force to do the work against a single load force or friction. Ignoring the friction losses, the work done on the load force is equal to the work done by the applied force.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The sun's apparent motion across the sky from East to West daily is due to the A) rotation of the sun. B) rotation of the earth. C) orbit of the earth around the sun. D) orbit of the sun around the earth.

Answers

B)rotation of earth because we rotate around the sun so when your area faces away from the sun it looks like the sun is setting in your point of view.

B) rotation of the earth.

The sun is relatively fixed. It is the rotation of the Earth that makes it appear as if the Sun is moving from East to West.

Which movement causes day and night on Earth?rotation of Earth
revolution of Earth around the Sun
Earth’s elliptical orbit in space
moon’s orbit around Earth

Answers

The movement causes day and night on Earth is the rotation of Earth.

What is rotation?

The rotation is the spinning around of an object about its own axis passing through the center.

When the Earth rotates about its own axis, the rotation completes in 24 hours. This causes the day to night and night to day. When the part of Earth is in front of Sun, there is day. But, when the same part of Earth goes away from the Sun, the sunset occurs and then eventually night occurs.

Thus, the movement causes day and night on Earth is the rotation of Earth.

The movement that causes day and night on Earth is the rotation of the earth on its axis, which is in option a as the earth rotates from west to east, completing one full rotation in approximately 24 hours.

As the Earth rotates, the side facing the sun experiences daylight, while the opposite side facing away from the sun experiences nighttime. This rotation creates the cycle of day and night that we observe on Earth. The other movements mentioned, such as the revolution of Earth around the Sun, Earth's elliptical orbit in space, and the moon's orbit around Earth, are not directly responsible for causing day and night.

What is the apparent change in frequency of waves due to the motion of a source? Photoelectric effect Prismatic change Doppler effect Wavelength variability

Answers

Answer: Doppler effect

Explanation:

The Doppler effect refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.

The Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency of waves due to the motion of a source.
