Happy Holidays!
We can use the following equation to solve for the gravitational force:
Fg = force due to gravity (N)
G = Gravitational constant
m1,m2 = masses of the objects (kg)
r = distance between the objects (m)
Plug in the given values into the equation:
Answer:
t = 300 seconds
Explanation:
Given that,
The power output of the motor, P = 1.5 kW
Energy transferred = 450 000 J
Power is given by work done per unit time. So,
So, it will take 300 seconds for the motor.
Answer:
a) μ = 0.1957 , b) ΔK = 158.8 J , c) K = 0.683 J
Explanation:
We must solve this problem in parts, one for the collision and the other with the conservation of energy
Let's find the speed of the wood block after the crash
Initial moment. Before the crash
p₀ = m v₁₀ + M v₂₀
Final moment. Right after the crash
pf = m + M v_{2f}
The system is made up of the block and the bullet, so the moment is preserved
p₀ = pf
m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}
v_{2f} = m (v₁₀ - v_{1f}) / M
v_{2f} = 4.5 10-3 (400 - 190) /0.65
v_{2f} = 1.45 m / s
Now we can use the energy work theorem for the wood block
Starting point
Em₀ = K = ½ m v2f2
Final point
Emf = 0
W = ΔEm
- fr x = 0 - ½ m v₂₂2f2
The friction force is
fr = μN
With Newton's second law
N- W = 0
N = Mg
We substitute
-μ Mg x = - ½ M v2f2
μ = ½ v2f2 / gx
Let's calculate
μ = ½ 1.41 2 / 9.8 0.72
μ = 0.1957
b) let's look for the initial and final kinetic energy
K₀ = 1/2 m v₁²
K₀ = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 400²
K₀ = 2.40 10² J
Kf = ½ 4.50 10⁻³ 190²
Kf = 8.12 10¹ J
Energy reduction is
K₀ - Kf = 2.40 10²- 8.12 10¹
ΔK = 158.8 J
c) kinetic energy
K = ½ M v²
K = ½ 0.650 1.45²
K = 0.683 J
