Answer

given,

mass of the package = 12 kg

slides down distance = 2 m

angle of inclination = 53.0°

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

a) work done on the package by friction is

              W_f = -μk R d

                   = -μk (mg cos 53°)(2.0)

                   =-(0.4)(8.0 )(9.8)(cos 53°)(2.0)

                   = -37.75 J

b)

work done on the package by gravity is

             W_g = m (g sin 53°) d

                   = (8.0 )(9.8 )(sin 53°)(2.0 )

                   =125.23 J

c)

the work done on the package by the normal force is

             W_n = 0

d)

the net work done on the package is

           W = -37.75 + 125.23 + 0

           W = 87.84 J

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

A block with mass m 2.00 kg is placed against a spring on a frictionless incline with angle 30 degrees (Fig. B-43). (The block i
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

4 cm .

Distance between the two place is 35 kilometers . If two persons start running towards each other from these two place with a sp
pashok25 [27]

The first person = A

The second one = B

velocity of A = 3 km / h

velocity of B = 4 km / h

Distance of A = 3t

Distance of B = 35 - 4t

At what time do they meet?

3t = 35 - 4t

7t = 35

t = 5 hours

7 a.m. + 5 hours = 12 p.m.

Galileo discovered that which planet undergoes phases as viewed from earth?
balu736 [363]
<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>
