Assume the box starts from rest and θ is large enough that it will move down the plank. 3.For a plank of any length, at what angle θ (in degrees) will the final speed of the box at the bottom of the plank be 0.85 times the final speed of the box when there is no friction present? Assume μk = 0.39.arrow_forward
- Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = dx Evaluating the above, we get W = | | + e + x for the limits from xi to xf substituting x1 and x2 as the limits, the work done is expressed as W = | / | + ( x1 - ) + ( x15 - x25 )arrow_forwardIndicate (with a T of F) whether the statement is true or false. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement true. A bicycle moving at 5.0 m/s at sea level has more potential energy than a motionless bicycle at the top of a mountain. Mechanical work is calculated by multiplying the magnitude of a force times the amount of time it is applied. The SI unit for work is the joule. One joule is equivalent to 1N: m in SI units 5 tv MacBook Proarrow_forwardMaddie is pulling on a rope to drag her backpack to school, across the ice.
