A block of mass m=16.8 kg is sliding on a surface with initial velocity v=23.2 m/s. The block has a coefficient of kinetic frict

ion μk =0.426 with respect to the surface and is being pushed by a force of magnitude F=86.4 N in the direction of its motion. Due to kinetic friction, the block is slowing down. How long will it take for the block to come to a stop?

Answer:

t = 23.92 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block  and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the block

W: Weight of the block : In vertical direction, downward

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the floor, upward

fk :  Kinetic friction force: parallel to the floor  and opposite to the movement

F = 86.4 N , in the direction of the motion

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W=  16.8 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 164.64 N

Calculated of the FN  

We apply the formula (1)  

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0  

FN - W = 0  

FN = W  

FN =  164.64 N

Calculated of the fk

fk  = μk*FN

fk  = 0.426* 164.64 N

fk  = 70.13 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

F - fk = m*a

86.4 -70.13  = (16.8)*(-a)

16.26 =  (16.8)*(-a)

a = -(16.26 )/ (16.8)

a = - 0.97 m/s²

Kinematics of the block

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula :

vf = v₀ + a*t   Formula (2)

Where:  

t: time interval  (m)

v₀: initial speed  (m/s)

vf: final speed   (m/s)

Data:

v₀ = 23.2 m/s

vf = 0

a =  -0.97 m/s²  

Time it takes for the block to stop

We replace data in the formula (2)  to calculate the time

vf= v₀+a*t

0 = 23.2+( -0.97)*t

(0.97)*t  = 23.2

(0.97)*t  = 23.2

t = 23.2 / (0.97)

t = 23.92 s

When you are on a roller coaster, you are constantly transforming from Potential to Kinetic energy and back. Explain how these e
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The two types of energy possessed by the roller coaster are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its position. It is calculated as

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the roller coaster

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the roller coaster relative to the ground

- KInetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its motion. It is calculated as

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

where

v is the speed of the roller coaster

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster (the sum of potential+kinetic energy) is constant during the motion:

E=PE+KE=const.

This implies that:

- When PE increases (because h increases), KE decreases (because v decreases)

- When PE decreases (because h decreases), KE increases (because v increases)

Now we can apply these conclusions to the motion of the roller coaster:

- When it moves from A to B, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from B to C, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

- When it moves from C to D, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from D to E,  kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

If 90 grams of gold has a volume of 5 cm3, calculate the density (include the units and show your work or you get no credit
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The density of gold is of 18 grams per cm3.

Explanation:

The mass density of a homogeneous material expresses how much mass of that material is present in a given volume. Since the density of an object is obtained by dividing its mass by its volume, to obtain the density of gold, its 90 grams of mass must be divided by its 5 cm3 volume, performing the following calculation:

90/5 = X

18 = X

Thus, the density of gold is 18 grams per cm3.
