A closed right triangular box with its vertical side on the left and downward slope on the right rests within a horizontal electric field vector E that points from left to right. The box has a height of 10.0 cm and a depth of 30.0 cm. The downward slope of the box makes an angle of 60 degrees with the vertical.

The figure below shows, at left, a solid disk of radius R = 0.600 m and mass 75.0 kg.
Tu
Mounted directly to it and coaxial with it is a pulley with a much smaller mass and a radius of r = 0.230 m. The disk and pulley assembly are on a frictionless axle. A belt is wrapped around the pulley and connected to an electric motor as shown on the right. The turning motor gives the disk
and pulley a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67 rad/s². The tension T in the upper (taut) segment of the belt is 145 N.
(a) What is the tension (in N) in the lower (slack) segment of the belt?
N
(b) What If? You replace the belt with a different one (one slightly longer and looser, but still tight enough that it does not sag). You again turn on the motor so that the disk accelerates clockwise. The upper segment of the belt once again has a tension of 145 N, but now the tension in
the lower belt is exactly zero. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in rad/s²)?

Find the magnitude of the change in the velocity of the Sun relative to the center of mass of the system during the time Venus completes half an orbit. Assume the mass of the Sun is 5.68 x 1029 kg, the mass of Venus is 4.87 × 1024 kg, its period is 1.94 × 107 s, and the radius of its orbit is 1.08 × 1011 m.

He is working on a new trick and has asked you, his star physics student, for assistance. The figure below shows the apparatus he is designing. Cup Hinged end - Support stick A small ball rests on a support so that the center of the ball is at the same height as the upper lip of a cup of negligible mass that is attached to a uniform board of length = 1.89 m. When the support stick is snatched away, the ball will fall and the board will rotate around the hinged end. As the board hits the table, your instructor wants the ball to fall into the cup. The larger the angle 0, the more time the elementary school children will have to watch the progress of the trick. But if the angle is too large, the cup may not pull ahead of the ball. For example, in the limiting case of 90°, the board would not fall at all!

On your first riding trip, it seems that the bike comes to rest relatively quickly after you stop pedaling and let the bicycle coast on flat ground. You call the bicycle shop from which you purchased the vehicle and describe the problem. The technician says that they will replace the bearings in the wheels or do whatever else is necessary if you can prove that the frictional torque in the axle of the wheels is worse than -0.02 N . m. At first, you are discouraged by the technical sound of what you have been told and by the absence of any tool to measure torque in your garage. But then you remember that you are taking a physics class! You take your bike into the garage, turn it upside down and start spinning the wheel while you think about how to determine the frictional torque. The driveway outside the garage had a small puddle, so you notice that droplets of water are flying off the edge of one point on the tire tangentially, including drops that…arrow_forward
