Velocity is the measurement of time of distance between point "A" and "B".
Speed, regards to how far a subject travels in "X" amount of time, disregarding an end and beginning point.

I hope this helps! :)

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur
emmasim [6.3K]

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

(<em>n</em> = magnitude of normal force, <em>w</em> = weight)

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em>

(<em>m</em> = mass, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>m a</em>

(<em>f</em> = mag. of friction, <em>a</em> = acceleration)

We have <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆<em>x</em> in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m

Someone answer these questions PLEASEE

7.  First write down all the known variables while separating the values for each direction:

x-direction:

vix = 20m/s

vfx = 20m/s

x = 39.2m

y-direction:

viy = 0m/s

ay = -9.8m/s^2

y = ?

Based on the knowns, the first step is to calculate the time of flight from the x-direction as it will be the same as value for the y-direction.  Find the correct kinematic equation to do so:

x = (1/2)(vix+vfx)t

(39.2) = (1/2)(20+20)t

1.96s = t

Now that we have the time of flight, we can use the kinematic equation that will relate the known variables in the y-direction:

y = viy*t + (1/2)ay*t^2

y = (0)(1.96) + (1/2)(-9.8)(1.96)^2

y = -18.82m  (Value is negative because gravity constant was negative.  It is the height reference that from the top of the building down, which is why it is negative.  The sign can be ignored for this question.)


8.  First write down all the known variables while separating the values for each direction:

x-direction:

x = 12m

vfx = 0m/s

vix = ?

y-direction:

y1 = 1.2m

y2 = 0.6m

viy = 0m/s;

ay = -9.8m/s^2

First find time in the y-direction as it would be the same value for the x-direction.

(y2 - y1) = viy*t + (1/2)ay*t^2

(-0.6) = (0)t + (1/2)(-9.8)t^2

t = 0.35s

Now that we have the time of flight, we can use the kinematic equation that will relate the known variables in the x-direction:

x = (1/2)(vix+vfx)t

(12) = (1/2)(vix+(0))(0.35)

68.6m/s = vix

Which component in a nuclear power plant actually produces the electrical energy?
taurus [48]
How a nuclear reactor works is that a nuclear reaction goes on in basically a very big tank of water, it acts like a kettle it heats up water which turns into steam to power a turbine so the actual component would either be the turbine or the steam.
