Solve each of the following problems to 3 sig figs and correct Sl units, showing all work.
1. A cart with a mass of 45.0 kg is being pulled to the right with a force of 250 N giving it an
acceleration of 1.30 m/s2. The wheels of the cart are locked and the cart must be dragged.
a) Draw a free body diagram of the cart.
b) Calculate the net force acting on the cart.
c) Create a force table and fill it in.
d) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Answer:
every number to 3 sf = 1) 45.0 2) 250 3) 1.30
Explanation:
your welcome :)
2) Given R = 3 ohms and R, = 1 ohm and V = 12 volts
I
a) Find the total resistance.
b) Find the current in the circuit:
c) Find the voltage drop in each resistor:
Answer:
a) because this is in series, we have:
the total resistance is 3 + 1 = 4 (ohm)
b) the curren in the circuit is 12/4 = 3 (A)
c) the voltage in R = 3 ohm is 3.3 = 9 (V)
the voltage in R = 1 ohm is 12 - 9 = 3 (V)
