A block of mass 3.6 kg, sliding on a horizontal plane, is released with a velocity of 1.7 m/s. The block slides and stops at a d

istance of 1.6 m beyond the point where it was released. How far would the block have slid if its initial velocity were increased by a factor of 2.8

Answer:

The block would have slid <u>12.6 m</u> if its initial velocity were increased by a factor of 2.8.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block (m) = 3.6 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 1.7 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Displacement (S) = 1.6 m

First we will find the acceleration of the block.

Using the equation of motion, we have:

v^2=u^2+2aS\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2S}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

a=\frac{0-1.7^2}{2\times 1.6}\\\\a=\frac{-2.89}{3.2}=0.903\ m/s^2

The acceleration is negative as it is resisting the motion.

Now, the initial velocity is increased by a factor of 2.8. So,

New initial velocity = 2.8 × 1.7 = 4.76 m/s

Again using the same equation of motion and expressing the result in terms of 'S'. This gives,

v^2=u^2+2aS\\\\S=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'S'. This gives,

S=\frac{0-4.76^2}{2\times -0.903}\\\\S=\frac{-22.6576}{-1.806}=12.6\ m

Therefore, the block would have slid 12.6 m if its initial velocity were increased by a factor of 2.8

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{11}{0.14}

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>

Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is: 
<span>C) The actual frequency of the siren does not change despite appearances.

In fact, Bob will observe an increase in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle approaches him, while Jill will observe a decrease in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle moves away from him, because of the Doppler effect (the relative velocity between the observer and the source of the sound is changing), but this effect involves the apparent frequency, while the real frequency of the siren will remain the same.</span>

3. A train covers 168 km in 4 hours. How much distance will it cover in 80<br> minutes?
Kay [80]

Answer:

56km

Explanation:

168 ÷ 240 = 0.7

0.7 × 80 = 56km

240 is the amount of minutes in 4 hours.

We divided 168 by 240 to get the distance covered in 1 minute. Afterwards, we needed 80 minutes so we multiplied the answer by 80.
