Acceleration means you go faster
inertia means it has a tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged
gravity is what pulls things down to earth
<span>Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
so i would say friction</span>

D. Friction because friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. The friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy.

The 9 kg block is then released and accelerates to the right, toward the 5 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of

Ahat [919]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $=4.51m/s$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the 9 kg can be determined by these expression

Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

Now to obtain the initial energy stored

Let U denote the initial energy stored and

$U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Where x is the length the spring is displaced

k is the force constant of the string

$U = \frac{1}{2} * 627 * (0.6)^2$

$= 112.86 J$

Now referring to the formula above

i.e Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 112.86 - \mu_kmgx$

$v^2 = \frac{2(112.86 -\mu_kmgx)}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112,86- \mu_kmgx)}{m}}$

and we are told that coefficient of friction = 0.4 and the mass is 9 kg ,the acceleration due to gravity $= 9.8m/s^2$ this displacement length of spring = 0.6

Therefore $v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112.86- (0.4 *9*9.8*0.6))}{9} }$

$=4.51m/s$

A coin dropped in the lift it takes time 0.5 s to reach the floor when lift is staionary it takes time t when lift is moving up

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

t₁ > t₂

Explanation:

A coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time t₁ to reach the floor when lift is stationary. It takes time t₂ when lift is moving up with constant acceleration. Then t₁ > t₂, t₁ = t₂, t₁ >> t₂ , t₂ > t₁

Solution:

Newton's law of motion is given by:

s = ut + (1/2)gt²;

where s is the the distance covered, u is initial velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is the time taken.

u = 0 m/s, t₁ is the time to reach ground when the light is stationary and t₂ is the time to reach ground when the lift is moving with a constant acceleration a.

hence:

When stationary:

$s=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2\\\\t_1^2=\frac{2s}{g} \\\\When\ moving\ with\ acceleration(a):\\\\s=\frac{1}{2}(g+a)t_2^2\\\\t_2^2=\frac{2s}{g+a}$

Hence t₂ < t₁, this means that t₁ > t₂.
