A group of students collected the data shown below while attempting to measure the coefficient of static friction (of course, it

looks like this group varied the amount of mass sitting on the block with each trial - this is not recommended). Nonetheless, what is their average coefficient of static friction?
Trial Mass of block (g) Hanging mass (kg)
1 105 0.053
2 165 0.081
3 220 0.118
4 280 0.149
5 315 0.180
6 385 0.198

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

The coefficients of static friction recorded for each trial are listed as follows:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

Adding these coefficients together results in: 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

                                              = 0.779

Consequently;

the mean coefficient of static friction = \frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}

                                              = \frac{0.779}{6}

                                              = 0.12983

The mean coefficient of static friction is 0.130

A 55 kg gymnast wedges himself between two closely spaced vertical walls by pressing his hands and feet against the walls. Part
ValentinkaMS [3465]

answer:

Let frictional forces due to both hands and feets be "Ff" each(since its given that they all are equal), acting in upward direction( in opposite direction of supposed motion).\\
Then since there is no motion of gymnast thus net frictional force due to both hands and feets will be exactly balanced by the weight of the gymnast,\\ i.e\\
4f_{f}=weight =mg\\
f_{f}=\frac{55x9.8}{4}\\
=134.75N

Dee is on a swing in the playground. the chains are 2.5 m long, and the tension in each chain is 450 n when dee is 55 cm above t
kicyunya [3294]
Referencing the diagram below, we can deduce from the geometry that x = 2.5 - 0.55 = 1.95 m, leading to cos θ = 1.95/2.5 = 0.78. Therefore, θ = cos⁻¹ 0.78 = 38.74°. According to the free body diagram, the tension in the chain measures 450 N. Here, F denotes the centripetal force and W signifies Dee's weight. The tension's components are as follows: Horizontal component = 450 sin(38.74°) = 281.6 N, directed to the left, and Vertical component = 450 cos(38.74°) = 351.0 N, directed upward. Answers: Horizontal: 281.6, directed left. Vertical: 351.0 N, directed upward.

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T represent the tension in the swing.

At the peak mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v denotes the velocity needed to maintain the circular motion.

r equals the distance from the rotation point to the center of the ball, which is L+\frac{d}{2} (with d being the ball's diameter).

The threshold velocity can be expressed as mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

To determine the velocity at the bottom, we can use energy conservation principles at both the top and bottom positions.

At the top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at the bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

By comparing the two states using conservation of energy, we find v_0^2=4gr+gr

v_0^2=5gr

v_0=\sqrt{5gr}

v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}

A book rests on the shelf of a bookcase. The reaction force to the force of gravity acting on the book is 1. The force of the sh
serg [3582]

Answer:

1. The force applied by the shelf supporting the book.

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the book is represented as follows:

1 - The weight of the book acting downward

2 - The normal force exerted by the shelf upward on the book.

As the book remains stationary, these two forces balance each other, and in accordance with Newton's Third Law, the reactive force equivalent to gravity is opposite and equal to the weight of the book. This reaction force prevents the book from falling off the shelf.
