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

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The block would have slid 12.6 m 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

A 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same.

Pavlova-9 [17]

As the temperature of the lead and helium is the same. Thus the average kinetic energy is also the same for lead and helium.

Reason:

It is given that a 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same. It is required to compare the average kinetic energy of the lead atoms and helium atoms.

The average kinetic energy is calculated as, $K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N} T$ .

Here K is the average kinetic energy, R is the gas constant, N is the Avogadro's number, and T is the temperature.

As the temperature is the same for both lead and helium. As a result, the average kinetic energy is also the same for lead and helium.
