As a block 40Nslides down a plane that is inclined at25° to the horizontal, its acceleration is0.80m/s2 , directed up the plane. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.55.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data: 

θ=25o

a=0.80″¾/²õ2

W=40 N

02

Understanding the concept of Newton’s second law of motion

The problem is based on Newton’s second law of motion. It states that the rate of change in the momentum of a body is directly proportional to the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the body which implies the acceleration of the body with force and the mass of the body.

Formula:

The force according to Newton’s second law, Fnet=ma …(¾±)

The weight of the body, W=mg …(¾±¾±)

The coefficient of kinetic friction, μK=fk/N …(¾±¾±¾±)

03

Determining the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane.

The mass of the black is given by,

m=Wg=4 k²µ

From the free body diagram, the kinetic friction between the block and the plane can be calculated using equation (i) as follows:

Fnet=ma=fk−°Â²õ¾±²Ôθfk=ma+°Â²õ¾±²Ôθ=(4kg)(0.80m/s2)+(40N)sin(250)=20.10N≈20N

Now, applying the force equations to the y-axis of the free body diagram, we can get the normal force on it as follows:

F→y=0N=°Â³¦´Ç²õθ=(40N)cos(250)=36.25N

Thus, the coefficient of friction can be given as follows:

μK=20N/36.25N=0.552N=0.55N

Hence, the value of the coefficient of the kinetic friction is0.55N .

In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two skydivers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago. The stunt was great fun until the last skydiver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about0.5 km, and ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the skydiver lose control of the pumpkin?

A toy chest and its contents have a combined weight of 180NA toy chest and its contents have a combined weight of 0.42.The child in Fig. 6-35 attempts to move the chest across the floor by pulling on an attached rope. (a) If θis 42°whatis the magnitude of the force F→that the child must exert on the rope to put the chest on the verge ofmoving? (b) Write an expression for the magnituderequired to put the chest on the verge of moving as a function of the angle θ. Determine (c) the value of θfor which Fis a minimum and (d) that minimum magnitude.

In Fig. 6-39, a car is driven at constant speed over a circular hill and then into a circular valley with the same radius. At the top of the hill, the normal force on the driver from the car seat is 0. The driver’s mass is 70.0kg.What is the magnitude of the normal force on the driver from the seat when the car passes through the bottom of the valley?

In the early afternoon, a car is parked on a street that runs down a steep hill, at an angle of35.0°relative to the horizontal. Just then the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the street surface is 0.725. Later, after nightfall, a sleet storm hits the area, and the coefficient decreases due to both the ice and a chemical change in the road surface because of the temperature decrease. By what percentage must the coefficient decrease if the car is to be in danger of sliding down the street?

In Fig. 6-60, a block weighing22 Nis held at rest against a vertical wall by a horizontal force of magnitude 60 N .The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.55 , and the coefficient of kinetic friction between them is 0.38 . In six experiments, a second force is applied to the block and directed parallel to the wall with these magnitudes and directions: (a) 34 N , up, (b) 12 N , up, (c) 48 N , up, (d) 62 N, up, (e) 10 N , down, and (f) 18 N, down. In each experiment, what is the magnitude of the frictional force on the block? In which does the block move (g) up the wall and (h) down the wall? (i) In which is the frictional force directed down the wall?
