The 20-lb cabinet is subjected to the force F = (3 + 2t) lb, where t is in seconds. If the cabinet is initially moving down the

plane with a speed of 6 ft/s, determine how long it takes for the force to bring the cabinet to rest. F always acts parallel to the plane.

Answer:

t₁ = 0.95 s

Explanation:

In this scenario, we apply Newton's second law, defined as

      F = m a = m dv / dt

      dv = F dt / m

Let's substitute and integrate, considering the upward direction of the plane as positive and that the force is also positive.

       dv = ∫ (3 + 2t) dt / m

       v = (3 t + 2 t²/ 2) /m

Evaluating between the lower limit where t = 0 and v = -6 ft/s (descending) to the upper boundary t = t and v = 0 gives:

       0 - (-6) = (3 (t- 0) + (t² -0)) / m

       t² + 3t -6m = 0

Next, we seek to find the mass:

      W = mg

      m = W / g

      m = 20/32

      m = 0.625 slug

Now let's solve the quadratic equation:

     t² + 3t -3.75 = 0

     t = (-3 ± √ (32 + 4 * 1 * 3.75)) / 2

     t = (-3 ± 4.899) / 2

From this, we have:

     t₁ = 0.95 s

     t₂ = -3.95 s

We select the positive time value.

ValentinkaMS [3465]
In this scenario, the principles of momentum conservation can be applied since there are no external forces acting on the system. Consequently, the conservation of momentum principle is applicable here. After the bird lands on it, both the bird and the bark will have a unified final speed. Thus, this final speed will be 1 m/s.

Alicia intends to swim to a point straight across a 100 m wide river with a current that flows at 1.2 m/s. She can swim 2.5 m/s
Sav [3153]

Answer:

θ = 61.3°

Alicia must swim at an angle of 61.3°

Explanation:

Parameters given include:

Width of the river = 100 m

Alicia's speed in still water = 2.5 m/s

Speed of river's current = 1.2 m/s

The angle she needs to swim can be determined by combining the velocities, taking into account the current's influence.

Her swimming speed aimed against the current must offset the current's velocity;

2.5cosθ - 1.2 = 0

2.5cosθ = 1.2

cosθ = 1.2/2.5

θ = cosinverse(1.2/2.5)

θ = 61.3°

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field that is directed in the positive xx direction with magn
Ostrovityanka [3204]
The alteration in potential energy is  \Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J

In the query, it is stated that

  The intensity of the uniform electric field equals E = 950 \ N/C

     The distance the electron covers is  x = 2.50 \ m

Typically, the force exerted on this electron is expressed mathematically as

     F = qE

Where F signifies the force and  q represents the charge of the electron, which is a fixed value of q = 1.60*10^{-19} \ C

    Thus  

      F = 950 * 1.60 **10^{-19}

      F = 1.52 *10^{-16} \ N

Generally, the work-energy theorem is mathematically framed as

          W = \Delta KE

Where W denotes the work done on the electron by the electric field and  \Delta KE  is the change in kinetic energy

Additionally, work done on the electron can also be described as

        W = F* x *cos( \theta )

Where  \theta = 0 ^o assuming that the electron's movement aligns with the x-axis  

        So

             \Delta KE = F * x cos (0)

Inserting values

         \Delta KE = 1.52 *10^{-16} * 2.50 cos (0)

          \Delta KE = 3.8*10^{-16} J

According to the conservation of energy

       \Delta PE = - \Delta KE

Where \Delta PE signifies the change  in  potential energy  

Thus  

        \Delta PE = - 3.8*10^{-16} \ J
