A cart for hauling ore out of a gold mine has a mass of 423 kg, including its load. The cart runs along a straight stretch of track that is sloped 4.51

Solutions

Expert Solution

givent aht

mass m = 423 kg
coeffiecient of friction ? = 0.0127
accleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2
inclied angel ?2 = 4.51
inclined angel ?1 = 13.1
distance travelled d = 159 m
applied fore F = 535 N

the component of the force from the donkey in the direction of motion is

   F2 = F1 cos?1
        =521.08 N
from the free body diagram
  
?Fy = N - mg cos?2 = 0
    N = mg cos?2
       = 4132.56 N
?Fx = F2 - mg sin?2 - f = ma
  here   f = ? N
              = 52.48
F2 - mg sin?2 - f = ma
a = F2 - mg sin?2 - f/ m
    = 0.337 m/s^2
work done by donkey
    W = F2 d
       =82851.72 J
work done by gravity
    W = - mg sin?2 d
        = -51828.53 J
work done by friction W = - fd
                                          = - 8344.32 J

A cart for hauling ore out of a gold mine has a mass of 423 kg, including its load. The cart runs along a straight stretch of track that is sloped 4.51° from the horizontal. A donkey, trudging along and to the side of the track, has the unenviable job of pulling the cart up the slope with a 535-N force for a distance of 159 m by means of a rope that is parallel to the ground and makes...

A frictionless cart of mass ? = 4.00 kg has a shape of a ramp with an incline angle ? = 60.0°. The ramp is pulled by a constant horizontal force ? = 15.0 N. Another frictionless cart of mass? = 2.00 kg can roll along the ramp and is attached to the top of the ramp at point ? by a spring of constant ? = 300. N/m. The spring is free to pivot without friction around point ?....

A 1.0-kg standard cart collides on a low-friction track with cart A. The standard cart has an initial xcomponent of velocity of +0.40 m/s, and cart A is initially at rest. After the collision the x component of velocity of the standard cart is +0.20 m/s and the x component of velocity of cart A is +0.70 m/s . After the collision, cart A continues to the end of the track and rebounds with its speed unchanged. Before the carts...
