A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T

he other end of the spring is attached to a fixed wall. A lump of putty travels horizontally with a speed of 8.0 m/s towards the block from the side directly opposite the spring. The putty strikes and sticks to the block. What is the maximum distance the spring is compressed after the impact

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N

velikii [3]
The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.

A proton traveling with speed 2 × 105 m/s in the -y direction passes through a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field
stepladder [879]

Answer:

\vec{E} =  1.2\times 10^5(-i)

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,v= 2 x 10⁵ m/s ( - y direction)

B= 0.6 T (- z direction)

The resultant force on the proton given as

\vec{F}=q.\vec{E}+ q.(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

F= m a

For uniform motion acceleration should be zero.

F = 0

0=q.\vec{E}+ q.(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

0=\vec{E}+ (\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

0=\vec{E}+2\times 10^5(-j) \times 0.6(-k)

\vec{E} =- 2\times 10^5(-j) \times 0.6(-k)

\vec{E} =-1.2\times 10^5(i)

\vec{E} = 1.2\times 10^5(-i)

Electric filed should be apply in the negative x direction.
