Lab Homework - Friction on a Ramp
A laborer wants to move crates containing bottles of olive oil from a truck to the ground by sliding them
along a ramp. The ramp is 6 m long and is at an angle of 25º. There is friction on the ramp for the first
crate. The laborer doesn't know that there is a small leak in one of the bottles. The leak leaves a layer of
oil on the ramp. The oil creates a frictionless surface for the second crate Wayne sends down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the speed of the second crate (without friction) is 2.5 the speed of the first crate (with friction). Find the coefficient of kinetic friction. Hint: this is a multistep problem that is
be solved using only energy equations. Do not use kinematics or you will not receive full
credit, even if your answer is correct. Use conservation of energy and start with the frictionless case.

Answer 1

Hi there!

Hi there!

We can begin by simplifying the work-energy theorem for Crate 2.

Since there is no friction, there is no energy dissipated. Thus, the initial energy is equal to the final energy.

Initially, we only have gravitational potential energy (U = mgh), and when the box has fully slid down, it only has kinetic energy (KE = 1/2mv²), therefore:
[tex]E_i = E_f\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

We can cancel out the mass and solve for velocity.

[tex]gh = \frac{1}{2}v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh \\\\v = \sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

We must use right triangle trigonometry to solve for the HEIGHT given the ramp's length (hypotenuse).

We can use sine:
[tex]sin\theta = \frac{\text{h}}{L} \\\\Lsin\theta = h = 6 * sin(25) = 2.5357 m[/tex]

Now, solve for velocity.

[tex]v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(2.5357)} = 7.05 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Since this is 2.5 times the speed of the first crate, we know that the final velocity of crate 1 is:


[tex]v_1 = \frac{v}{2.5} = 2.82 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Crate 1:
In this instance, we have friction. Recall the following.

[tex]F_f = \mu N[/tex]

On an incline, the normal force is equivalent to the cosine of the force of gravity, so:
[tex]N = mgcos\theta[/tex]

Now, create an equation for the force due to friction.

[tex]F_f = \mu mgcos\theta[/tex]

The work done by any force is:
[tex]W = F \cdot d\\\\W_f = \mu mgdcos\theta[/tex]

In this instance, d = the ramp's length, or 6 m.

Now, we can use the work-energy theorem.

Ei = Ef

However, there is energy dissipated; we can call this Wf (Work due to friction). Therefore:
Ei - Wf = Ef

Now, we can rearrange to solve for Wf:
Ei - Ef = Wf

Like above, there is initially only GPE (U = mgh) and finally only KE (K = 1/2mv²), so:
[tex]mgh - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \mu mgdcos\theta[/tex]

Solve for the coefficient of friction. Begin by canceling out the mass and multiplying all terms by 2:
[tex]2mgh - mv^2 = 2\mu mgdcos\theta\\\\2gh - v^2 = 2\mu gdcos\theta\\\\\mu = \frac{2gh - v^2}{2gdcos\theta}\\\\\mu = \frac{2(9.8)( 2.5357)- (2.82)^2}{2(9.8)(6)cos(25)}[/tex]

Evaluate:
[tex]\boxed{\mu = 0.39}[/tex]

1. Allen is driving North on Highway 69 at 90 km/h and sees a large moose on the road. He
quickly slams on his brakes, but his reaction time is 0.85 s (as he sees the moose, thinks
about his response, and then presses the brake pedal). He presses the brake for 3.5 s and
comes to a stop just in time.
a) Find the distance travelled after seeing the moose and before pressing the brake.
b) Find the total distance he travelled before coming to a stop.
c) Find the average acceleration once he presses the brake.

Answers

Take the moment Allen sees the moose to be the origin.

First, convert his speed to m/s.

90 km/h = (90 km/h) • (1000 m/km) • (1/3600 h/s) = 25 m/s

(a) For the time it takes him to react (0.85 s), Allen is moving at a constant speed of 25 m/s, so that before he actually does anything, he covers a distance of

(25 m/s) • (0.85 s) = 21.25 m

(b) Once he presses the brakes, Allen's vehicle covers a distance x in time t of

x = 21.25 m + (25 m/s) t + 1/2 a t²

and has a speed v of

v = 25 m/s + a t

It takes him 3.5 s to come to a full stop. Use this to find the acceleration:

0 = 25 m/s + a (3.5 s)

a = - (25 m/s) / (3.5 s)

a ≈ - 7.1 m/s²

After 3.5 s, he will have traveled a total distance of

x = 21.25 m + (25 m/s) (3.5 s) + 1/2 (- 7.1 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

x = 152.5 m ≈ 150 m

(c) This one is worded a bit strangely, specifically "once he presses the brake" seems to suggest instantaneous acceleration, not average. Average acceleration is defined for some duration of time. You're probably expected to report the acceleration of the car as it comes to a stop, which we found earlier to be

a ≈ - 7.1 m/s²

composite object is moving 2.0 m/s along the x axis in the negative direction.
Determine the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2.0 kg object before the collision.

Answers

Answer:

V2 =  23 [m/s] to the left.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the definition of conservation of linear momentum. That is, the momentum is conserved before and after the collision. The values before the collision will be taken to the left of the equality, and the values after the collision will be taken to the right of the equality, in this way we have:

Σbefore = Σafter

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

where:

P = m*v

The positive momentum will be taken to the right and the negative momentum is to the left in this way we formulate the following equation:

[tex](m_{1}*v_{1}) + (m_{2}*v_{2})=-(m_{1} +m_{2})*v_{3}\\[/tex]

where:

m1 = mass of the first object = 6 [kg]

v1 = velocity of the first object = 5 [m/s]

m2 = mass of the stick = 2 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the stick [m/s]

v3 = velocity of the composite object = - 2 [m/s]

(6*5) + (2*V2) = - (6 + 2)*2

30 + (8*2) = - 2*V2

46 = - 2*V2

V2 = - 23 [m/s]

Note: the negative sign means the stick moves to the left

A ball is travelling 32° above the horizontal at a speed of 24 m/s. What is the horizontal component of its speed

A. 12.7 m/s
B. 13.0 m/s
C. 29.2 m/s
D. 20.4 m/s

Answers

Answer:

Since the ball is travelling 32 degrees above the horizontal, the value of Θ is 32

In the figure, v vector is the vertical component whereas h vector is the horizontal component

Using trigonometry:

CosΘ = h /24

Cos 32 = h/  24

0.85 = h / 24

h = 24*0.85

h = 20.4 m/s

what is the order of magnitude of the final velocity of an object that begins from rest and accelerates at a rate of 20 meters per second2 for 5.0 seconds

Answers

final velocity = 20 x 5 = 100 m/s (if there are no resistive forces )

The order of magnitude of the final velocity of an object that begins from rest and accelerates at a rate of 20m/s² for 5.0 seconds is 100m/s

The acceleration of a body is the change in velocity with respect to time as shown:

[tex]a=\frac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

Given the following parameters

a is the acceleration = 20m/s²

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time taken = 5.0seconds

Required

Final velocity "v"

Substitute the given parameters into the formula:

[tex]20=\frac{v-0}{5} \\20 =\frac{v}{5}\\v = 20 \times 5\\v =100m/s[/tex]

Hence the order of magnitude of the final velocity of an object that begins from rest and accelerates at a rate of 20m/s² for 5.0 seconds is 100m/s

   [tex]x = 0.198456 \ m [/tex]

B

    [tex]h  =  1.3061 \  m  [/tex]

C

 [tex]  v =  5.06 \  m/s [/tex]

D

  [tex]d = 4.0273 \  m  [/tex]

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  [tex]k  =  32.50 N/m[/tex]

    The potential energy is  [tex]PE  =  0.640 \ J[/tex]

Generally the potential  energy stored in spring  is mathematically represented as   [tex]PE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  x^2[/tex]

=>    [tex]0.640=  \frac{1}{2}  * 32.50  *  x^2[/tex]  

=>    [tex]x = \sqrt{0.03938}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]x = 0.198456 \ m [/tex]  

Considering the second question

 From the question we are told that

   The mass of the dart is  m =  0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

         [tex]PE =  mgh[/tex]

=>       [tex]0.640   =  0.050 *  9.8  *  h[/tex]

=>      [tex]h  =  1.3061 \  m  [/tex]

Considering the third  question

   The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is  [tex]H  =   3.90\  m[/tex]

Generally  from the law of energy conservation

         [tex]PE = KE [/tex]

Here  KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

     [tex]KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  mv^2[/tex]

=>      [tex]0.640 =  \frac{1}{2}  * 0.050 *  v^2 [/tex]

=>       [tex]  v^2 = 25.6 [/tex]

=>       [tex]  v =  5.06 \  m/s [/tex]

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

       [tex]t  =  \frac{ 2 *  H }{g}[/tex]

=>     [tex]t  =  \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }[/tex]

=>     [tex]t  =  0.7959 \ s [/tex]

Generally the  horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is  mathematically represented as

       [tex]d =  v  *   t[/tex]

=>     [tex]d = 5.06  *   0.7959[/tex]

=>     [tex]d = 4.0273 \  m  [/tex]

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the artifact?

Answers

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

[tex]N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}[/tex]

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

[tex]N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012[/tex]

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

[tex]1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102[/tex]

which we can round to 9155 years old.
