Answer:
A protractor to measure the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal
Explanation:
The student needs to lift the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object barely starts sliding, and measure the angle at which such happens. At that point, the force of friction equals the component of the weight in the direction of the incline. That is:
[tex]f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)[/tex]
and [tex]w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)[/tex]
Then
[tex]f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)[/tex]
and therefore, the coefficient of static friction is fully determined just by calculating the tangent of the angle that the incline forms with the horizontal.
Then the only extra instrument needed is a protractor to measure the angle.

A net force acting on an 8.0 kg box produces an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration will the same net force cause to a different box with a mass of 2.0 kg?
Answer:
13.5
Explanation:
The acceleration that the same net force would cause to a different box is 14 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].
Given the following data:
Mass of box A = 8 kg
Acceleration = 3.5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Mass of box B = 2 kg
To find the acceleration that the same net force would cause to a different box:
First of all, we would determine the net force acting on box A by applying Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by the formula;
[tex]Net\;force = mass \times acceleration\\\\Net\;force = 8 \times 3.5[/tex]
Net force = 28 Newton.
Now, we can determine the acceleration for box B since the same net force act on it.
[tex]Acceleration = \frac{Net\;force}{mass} \\\\Acceleration = \frac{28}{2 }[/tex]
Acceleration = 14 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

(a) Ax = 12 m and Ay = 12 m,
(b) Ax= 19 m and Ay = 12 m, and
(c) Ax = 12 m and Ay = 19 m.
(a) θ = Number____________ Units____
(b) θ = Number____________ Units____
(c) θ = Number ____________Units____
Answer:
(a) θ = 45° = 0.78 rad
(b) θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad
(c) θ = 57.27° = 1 rad
Explanation:
When a vector is resolved into its rectangular components, the formula for the direction angle of the vector with positive x-axis is given as:
tan θ = Ay/Ax
θ = tan⁻¹(Ay/Ax)
(a)
Ax = 12 m
Ay = 12 m
θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/ 12 m)
θ = tan⁻¹(1)
θ = 45° = 0.78 rad
(b)
Ax = 19 m
Ay = 12 m
θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/19 m)
θ = tan⁻¹(0.6315)
θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad
(c)
Ax = 12 m
Ay = 19 m
θ = tan⁻¹(19 m/12 m)
θ = tan⁻¹(1.58333)
θ = 57.27° = 1 rad
An unladen swallow that weighs 0.03 kg flies straight northeast a distance of 125 km in 4.0 hours. With the x x direction due east and the y y direction due north, what is the average momentum of the bird (in unit vector notation)?
Answer:
The average momentum of the bird is 0.26 kgm/s
Explanation:
The formula to be used here is that of momentum which is
momentum (in kgm/s) = mass (in kg) × velocity (in m/s)
The velocity of the bird is
velocity (in m/s) = distance (in meter) ÷ time (in seconds)
distance in meters = 125km × 1000 = 125,000 m
time in seconds = 4 hrs × 60 × 60 = 14,400 secs
velocity = 125000/14400
velocity = 8.68 m/s
momentum (p) = 0.03 × 8.68
p = 0.26 kgm/s
The average momentum of the bird is 0.26 kgm/s
The average momentum of the bird (in unit vector notation) is (0.1842i + 0.1842j) kgm/s.
Total displacementSince the unladen swallow that weighs 0.03 kg flies straight northeast (that is at a bearing of 45°) a distance of 125 km in 4.0 hours.
Its position vector after 4.0 hours is d = (125kmcos45)i + (125kmsin45)j = (125000 × 1/√2)i + (125000 × 1/√2)j
= (62500√2)i + (62500√2)j.
If the initial position of the swallow is d' = 0i + 0j, then its total displacement after 4 hours is, D = d - d'
= (62500√2)i + (625000√2)j - (0i + 0j)
= (62500√2)i + (62500√2)j m
Average velocityThe unladen swallow's average velocity, v = D/t where
D = total displacement = (62500√2)i + (62500√2)j m and t = time = 4.0 hours = 4 × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 14400 sSo, v = [(62500√2)i + (62500√2)j m]/14400 s = (88388.35)i/14400 + (88388.35)j /1440
= 6.14i + 6.14j m/s
Average momentumThe average momentum of the unladen swallow is p = mv where
m = mass of unladen swallow = 0.03 kg and v = average velocity = 6.14i + 6.14j m/sSo, p = mv
p = 0.03 kg × (6.14i + 6.14j m/s)
p = (0.1842i + 0.1842j) kgm/s
So, the average momentum of the bird (in unit vector notation) is (0.1842i + 0.1842j) kgm/s.

Answer:
angle minimum θ = 41.3º
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium
N - W = 0
N = W
The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall
We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive
fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0
the friction force formula is
fr = μ N
fr = μ W
we substitute
μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2 cos θ = 0
μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0
μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0
sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ
tan θ = 1/2 μ
θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)
θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))
θ = 41.3º

On the earth, the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. On the Moon, the gravitational field strength is 1.6 N/kg.
If an object has a weight of 50 N on earth, what is its weight on the Moon?
A: 1.6 N
B: 5.0 N
C: 8.0 N
D: 80 N
Answer:
This is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.
Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N
On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.
Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.
Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.

What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the bob at the lowest point in its path, if it has a positive 0.250 μC charge and is released from a height of 30.0 cm above its lowest point? The magnetic field strength is 1.50 T.
Answer:
[tex]F=9.09\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Charge, q = 0.250 μC
It is released from a height of 30 cm or 0.03 m
The magnetic field strength is 1.50 T.
First we find the velocity using the conservation of energy as follows :
[tex]mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.3} \\\\v=2.424\ m/s[/tex]
Now, the magnetic force is given by :
[tex]F=qvB\\\\=0.25\times 10^{-6}\times 2.424\times 1.5\\\\=9.09\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]
So, the magnetic force is [tex]9.09\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]. Since, the bob is at the lowest point, the direction of the magnetic force at the lowest point is upward.

A cyclist is riding along at a speed of 20.7 when she decides to apply the brakes which gave a deceleration applied was a rate of -3.4 m/s2 over the span of 7.8 s. What distance does she travel over that period of time.
Answer:
The distance is 58.03 m
Explanation:
Constant Acceleration Motion
It occurs when the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.
Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:
[tex]v_f=v_o+at[/tex]
The distance traveled by the object is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}[/tex]
The conditions of the problem state the cyclist has an initial speed of v0=20.7 m/s during t=7.8 seconds and acceleration of -3.4 m/s^2.
The final speed is:
[tex]v_f=20.7+(-3.4)\cdot 7.8[/tex]
[tex]v_f=20.7-26.52[/tex]
[tex]v_f=-5.82\ m/s[/tex]
Note the cyclist has stopped and come back because his speed is negative. Now calculate the distance:
[tex]\displaystyle x=20.7\cdot 7.8+\frac{(-3.4)\cdot 7.8^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle x=161.46-103.43[/tex]
x=58.03 m
A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.15 m and is filled with helium. How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the skin and structure of the balloon have a mass of 930 kg? Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself.
Answer:
m = 876.71 kg
Explanation:
This is an exercise of Archimedes' principle, which states that the thrust on a body is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid
B = ρ g V
therefore the load that the balloon can lift is
B - W_structure - w_load = 0
w_load = B - W_structure
The volume of the balloon is
v = 4/3 π r³
let's substitute
w_carga = rho g 4/3 π r³ - m_structure g
the air density at T = 25ºc is ρ = 1.18 kg / m³
let's calculate
w_load = 1.18 9.8 4/3 π 7.15³ - 930 9.8
w_load = 17705,77 - 9114
w_ load = 8591.77 N
this corresponds to a mass of
w_load = m g
m = w_load / g
m = 8591.77 / 9.8
m = 876.71 kg

The sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is always constant.
The sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy is always 0.
The potential energy is always greater than the kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy is always equal to the potential energy.
131.2 J and The last one on number 8
I gave the same answer and it passed.
7) The final energy of the ball after rolling for 10 m is 182.4 J so, option C is correct.
8) When friction is negligible the total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy is constant so, option A is correct.
What is energy?Energy is the ability to perform work in physics. It could exist in several different forms, such as potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, radioactive, etc. Additionally, there is heat and work, which is energy being transferred from one body to another.
Given:
A moving object is rolling on a surface that is 5 m off the ground,
The speed of the object, v = 4 m/s,
The mass of the object, m = 3.2 kg,
Calculate the kinetic energy after 10 meters as shown below,
KE = 1/2 × 4² × 3.2
KE = 25.6 J
Calculate the potential energy as shown below,
PE = 3.2 × 9.8 × 5
PE = 156.8 J
Thus, total energy = KE + PE
The total energy = 25.6 + 156.8
The total energy = 182.4 J

Answer:
a. V = 19.1m/s
b. The mass of the car does not matter
Explanation:
A.
KE = 1/2mv² = fd --------(1)
Fd = umgd ---------(2)
Therefore,
1/2mv² = umgd ---------(3)
M will cancel itself out from both sides of equation 3.
Then we will have:
1/2v² = ugd
Then we cross multiply to make v² the subject of the formula
V² = 2ugd
V = √2ugd -------(4)
U = 0.38
g = 9.81
d = 98
When we input these values into equation 4, we will have:
V = √2x0.38x9.81x98
V = √730.6488
V = 27.03m/s
B.
The mass of the car does not actually matter as the mass was cancelled out on the both sides of equation 3

A transverse wave can be defined as the wave whose direction of displacement is always perpendicular to the direction of propagation. For example, surface wave at water bodies. While a pulse can be defined as a sudden change in a constant quantity such as a pulse of the radiation or current.
Let the wire of infinite length in both the directions and also the magnitude of deflection of wire be in the same shape except the point of maximum deflection to move along the wire.
Thus the equation of the pulse moving the in the positive x-direction moving at the speed of 2.10 m/s is
[tex]$y=\frac{6}{(x-2.10)^2 +3}$[/tex].
A plane flying at a speed of 59.1 m/s is dropping a package 521 m above the intended target. How long does it take for the package to hit the ground?
A.) 10.3 seconds
B.) 0.1 seconds
C.) 106.3 seconds
D.) 8.8 seconds
Answer:
t = 10.31 seconds which agrees with answer option A)
Explanation:
Notice that the horizontal velocity of the plane imparted to the package, doesn't affect the vertical motion for which the original (vertical velocity) is zero.
Then the equation for the distance travelled by the package is:
d = (1/2) a t^2
in our case, d = 521 m, and a = g (acceleration of gravity 9.8 m/s^2)
then we can solve for t in the equation:
521 = 9.8/2 t^2
t^2 = 521/4.9
t^2 = 106.32 s^2
t = 10.31 seconds
