A 5 kg object near Earth's surface is released from rest such that it falls a distance of 10 m. After the object falls 10 m, it

makkiz [27]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of object $m=5 kg$

Distance traveled $h=10 m$

velocity acquired $v=12 m/s$

conserving Energy at the moment when object start falling and when it gains 12 m/s velocity

Initial Energy $=mgh=5\times 9.8\times 10=490 J$

Final Energy $=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+W_{f}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 12^2+W_{f}$

where $W_{f}$ is friction work if any

$490=360+W_{f}$

$W_{f}=130 J$

Since Friction is Present therefore it is a case of Open system and net external Force is zero

An open system is a system where exchange of energy and mass is allowed and Friction is acting on the object shows that system is Open .

The barricade at the end of a subway line has a large spring designed to compress 2.00 m when stopping a 1.10 ✕ 105 kg train mov

Mrac [35]

Answer:

(a) k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m

(b) Vi = 0.105 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First, we find the deceleration of the car. For that purpose we use 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = ?

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0.35 m/s

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 2 m

Therefore,

a = [(0 m/s)² - (0.35 m/s)²]/(2)(2 m)

a = 0.0306 m/s²

Now, we calculate the force applied on spring by train:

F = ma

F = (1.1 x 10⁵ kg)(0.0306 m/s²)

F = 3368.75 N

Now, for force constant, we use Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

k = Force Constant = ?

Δx = Compression = 2 m

Therefore.

3368.75 N = k(2 m)

k = (3368.75 N)/(2 m)

k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m

(c)

Applying Hooke's Law with:

Δx = 0.6 m

F = (1684.38 N/m)(0.6 m)

F = 1010.62 N = 1.01 KN

(b)

Now, the acceleration required for this force is:

F = ma

1010.62 N = (1.1 kg)a

a = 1010.62 N/1.1 x 10⁵ kg

a = 0.0092 m/s²

Now, we find initial velocity of train by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = -0.0092 m/s² (negative sign due to deceleration)

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 0.6 m

Therefore,

-0.0092 m/s² = [(0 m/s)² - Vi²]/(2)(0.6 m)

Vi = √(0.0092 m/s²)(1.2 m)

Vi = 0.105 m/s

When two point charges are a distance d part, the electric force that each one feels from the other has magnitude F. In order to

Contact [7]

Answer:

Because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

d is the distance between the two charges

We observe that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Therefore, when the distance changes to

$d'=\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}$

The force will double:

$F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(d/\sqrt{2})^2}=2(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2})=2F$

Identify the ways in which carbon is added to the atmosphere?

marissa [1.9K]

Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid ofcarbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
