Chapter 5: Q5.1-8PE (page 188)

Show that the acceleration of any object down a frictionless incline that makes an angle胃with the horizontal isa=gsin(胃). (Note that this acceleration is independent of mass.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Acceleration of an object is a=gsin胃.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of acceleration

The rate at which velocity changes is referred to as acceleration.

02

Determining acceleration of any object down a frictionless incline

Due to the component of gravitational force along the inclined object will move downward with certain acceleration as there is a constant external force on the object along the incline.

If friction is absent then the object will move only due to the component of gravitational force.

As block is at rest perpendicular to the inclined surface, therefore net force perpendicular to the inclined is zero so

N-mgsin90-胃=0

or N=mgcos胃

Along the inclined there is an external force on the system so applying Newton鈥檚 second law along the inclined surface

Netforce=mass脳acceleration

mgcos90-胃=ma

Therefore,a=gsin胃

The elastic properties of the arteries are essential for blood flow. Explain the importance of this in terms of the characteristics of the flow of blood (pulsating or continuous).

(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kgof her mass on that knee?

(b) During strenuous exercise it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.
