A horizontal force of 12N is applied to 1.5kg of block which rests on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient friction is 0.3,

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Next, we shall determine the frictional force. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.3

Normal reaction (R) = mg = 1.5 × 10 = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) =?

Fբ = μR

Fբ = 0.3 × 15

Fբ = 4.5 N

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied (Fₐ) = 15 N

Frictional force (Fբ) = 4.5 N

Net force (Fₙ) =.?

Fₙ = Fₐ – Fբ

Fₙ = 15 – 4.5

Fₙ = 10.5 N

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration produced in the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of block = 1.5 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 10.5 N

Acceleration (a) of block =?

Fₙ = ma

10.5 = 1.5 × a

Divide both side by a

a = 10.5 / 1.5

a = 7 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration produced in the block is 7 m/s²

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

So

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Why is the sky blue?

Taya2010 [7]

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
