Takeaways
- 🔍 The video script focuses on solving physics problems related to calculating net force and acceleration in horizontal directions.
- 📐 The first problem involves a 5 kg box experiencing a 200 N pull and a 60 N frictional force, resulting in a net horizontal force of 140 N.
- 📚 Newton's second law is applied to calculate the acceleration of the box, which is 28 meters per second squared (m/s²).
- 🚀 Using kinematic equations, the script calculates the box's travel distance after 15 seconds, finding it to be 3.15 kilometers.
- 📉 For the second problem, a 12 kg box is pulled by a 350 N force at a 30-degree angle and opposed by a 120 N frictional force.
- 📌 The net horizontal force for the second problem is determined to be 183.1 N by considering the x-component of the applied force.
- ⏱ The acceleration of the second box is calculated to be 15.26 m/s² using the net force and the box's mass.
- 🏎️ The final problem involves a 1200 kg car accelerating from 25 m/s to 60 m/s in 5 seconds, resulting in an acceleration of 7 m/s².
- 🔧 The net force acting on the car is calculated by multiplying its mass by its acceleration, yielding 8400 N.
- 🏗️ The average force exerted by the car's engine is found by adding the net force and the constant frictional force, totaling 11900 N.
Q & A
What is the net horizontal force acting on a 5 kg box when a 200 N force pulls it to the right and a 60 N frictional force opposes it?
-The net horizontal force is calculated by subtracting the frictional force from the pulling force. So, it is 200 N - 60 N = 140 N.
How do you calculate the acceleration of the 5 kg box when the net force is 140 N?
-According to Newton's second law, acceleration (a) is the net force (F) divided by the mass (m). So, the acceleration is 140 N / 5 kg = 28 m/s².
If the 5 kg box accelerates from rest for 15 seconds with an acceleration of 28 m/s², how far will it travel?
-Using the kinematic equation for displacement with initial velocity (v₀) as 0, acceleration (a) as 28 m/s², and time (t) as 15 s, the displacement (d) is calculated as (1/2) a t^2 = (1/2) × 28 × 15^2 = 3150 meters, which is 3.15 kilometers.
What is the net horizontal force on a 12 kg box when a 350 N force at 30 degrees above the horizontal pulls it and a 120 N frictional force opposes it?
-The horizontal component of the pulling force is the force multiplied by the cosine of the angle, which is 350 × cos(30°). Subtracting the frictional force gives a net horizontal force of 350 × cos(30°) - 120 N, which is approximately 183.1 N.
What is the acceleration of the 12 kg box when the net horizontal force is 183.1 N?
-Using Newton's second law, the acceleration is the net force divided by the mass, which is 183.1 N / 12 kg = 15.26 m/s².
If a 12 kg box is accelerated over a distance of 200 meters, what is its final speed given the acceleration is 15.26 m/s² and the initial speed is zero?
-Using the kinematic equation v_final^2 = v_initial^2 + 2ad, and knowing v_initial = 0, a = 15.26 m/s², and d = 200 m, the final speed is √(2 × 15.26 × 200) = 78.1 m/s.
What is the acceleration of a 1200 kg car that speeds up from 25 m/s to 60 m/s in 5 seconds?
-Using the equation v_final = v_initial + at, and knowing v_final = 60 m/s, v_initial = 25 m/s, and t = 5 s, the acceleration is (60 - 25) / 5 = 7 m/s².
What is the net force acting on the 1200 kg car that accelerates from 25 m/s to 60 m/s in 5 seconds?
-The net force is the mass times the acceleration, which is 1200 kg × 7 m/s² = 8400 N.
If a 1200 kg car experiences a constant frictional force of 3500 N, what is the average force exerted by the engines on the car to achieve the acceleration calculated in the previous question?
-The force exerted by the engines is the net force plus the frictional force, which is 8400 N + 3500 N = 11900 N.
How does the direction of frictional force compare to the direction of motion for an object moving to the right?
-Friction always opposes motion, so for an object moving to the right, the frictional force will be directed to the left.
