Answer: Newton's second law.

Explanation: The rate of change of the velocity is called "acceleration"

The acceleration is defined by the second Newton's law, that says that the force applied on an object is equal to the mass of the aboject multiplied by the acceleration of the object:

F = m*a

Where the acceleration points in the same direction than the force applied.

So the model of the gremmlins is explaining this law.

A 4.3-kg block slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Starting from rest, the block slide
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

0.56

Explanation:

Let the coefficient of friction is μ.

m = 4.3 kg, θ = 30 degree, initial velocity, u = 0, s = 2.7 m, t = 5.8 s

By the free body diagram,

Normal reaction, N = mg Cosθ = 4.3 x 9.8 x Cos 30 = 36.49 N

Friction force, f = μ N = 36.49 μ

Net force acting on the block,

Fnet = mg Sinθ - f = 4.3 x 9.8 x Sin 30 - 36.49 μ

Fnet = 21.07 - 36.49μ

Net acceleartion, a = Fnet / m

a = (21.07 - 36.49μ) / 4.3

use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

2.7 = 0 + 1/2 x (21.07 - 36.49μ) x 5.8 x 5.8 / 4.3

By solving we get

μ = 0.56

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg slides head on into a spring of spring constant k = 260 N/m. When the block stops, it has compressed
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

a) Ws = 2.548 J

b) Wf = 1.153 J

c) v = 1.923 m / s

Explanation:

a) The work done by the spring force  

Ws =  ½ * k * x²

Ws =  ½ * 260 N/m *0.14² m  

Ws =  2.548J

b) The increase in thermal energy can by find using  

Et = Wf

Wf = µ * m *g * x  

Wf = 0.42 * 2.0 kg *9.8 m/s² * 0.14m

Wf = 1.153 J

c) The speed just as the block reaches can by fin using

EK = Ws + Et

Ek = ( 2.548 + 1.153 ) J = 3.7 J

Ek = ½ * m * v²

v² = 2* Ek / m

v = √[2 * 3.7 J / 2.0 kg]

v = 1.923 m / s

A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

E=mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

A 1.60 m tall person lifts a 2.10-kg book from the ground so it is 2.20 m above the ground. What is the potential energy of the
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of book(m)=2.1 kg

height up to which book is lifted is (h)2.2 m

height of person (h_0)1.6 m

Potential energy of book relative to ground=mgh

PE=2.1\times 9.8\times 2.2=45.276 J

(b)PE w.r.t to person head =mg(h-h0)

=2.1\times 9.8\times (2.2-1.6)=12.348 J

work done by person in lifting box 2.2 m w.r.t floor

Word done =Potential Energy of box relative to floor=45.2 J
