Could anyone help me figure out d and e? How can you find the work of the friction when the force of friction is not given?

Wow ! This is not simple, Shoot, and I give you a lot of credit
and an extra merit badge if you're generally keeping up with it.

I scratched my head for a few minutes, and I think I've got it.
Here's what I think is going on:

KE₁ = KE of the box before pushing
   (1/2) (m) (speed²) = 10 x 2² = 40 joules

KE₂ = KE of the box after pushing 3m
   (1/2) (m) (speed²) = 10 x 4² = 160 joules

The box gained (160 - 40) = 120 J of kinetic energy.

Now look at the cluttered force diagram.
Cat's component of force in the direction of motion is 120N.
That's the part of her force that does the work on the box.
How much work does she do ?

   (force) x (distance) = (120N) x (3m) = 360 joules .

Only 120 J of that energy showed up as increased kinetic energy
of the box. The other 240J of her hard-earned work was consumed
by friction.

   Work of friction = (Friction force) x (distance)

   240 J = (friction force) x (3 m)

240 J / 3 m = friction 'force' = 80 N .

I think that's it.

What I did was:

-- Find the work that Cat did.

-- Find the increase in the kinetic energy of the box.

-- The difference ... the 'missing energy' ... was the work done
by friction in the same distance.

Does this do anything for you ?

A 2.0 kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The block’s initial speed is 10 m/s. What vert

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Vertical Height = 0.784 meter, Speed back at starting point = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

V is the overall velocity vector, $Vi$ and $Ui$ are its initial vertical and horizontal components

$R = 10 m/s\\ Projection Angle (theta) = 30 degrees\\Vi = 10*sin(30) = 5 m/s\\Ui = 10*cos(30) = 8.66 m/s$

To find:

Max Height $h$ achieved

Calculation:

1) Using the $3^{rd}$ equation of motion, we know

$2*a*s = Vf^{2} - Vi^{2}$

2) In terms of gravity $g$ height $h$ and the vertical component of Velocity $Vf , Vi$ .

3) As $Vf = 0$ as at maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero maximum height achieved

$2*g*h = Vf^{2} -Vi^{2}$

putting values

4) $h = 0.784 m/s$

5) As for the speed when it reaches back its starting point, it will have a speed similar to its launching speed, the reason being the absence of air friction (Air drag)

Auroras are frequently seen : B. After solar flares
The Aurora is created by an ongoing influx of particles into the Earth's existing magnetic field,
This particles originated from the Sun as part of Solar wind

Set the radius to 2.0 m and the velocity to 1.0 m/s. Keeping the radius the same, record the magnitude of centripetal accelerati

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$a=4\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius, r = 2 m

Velocity, v = 1 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2}{1}\\\\=4\ m/s^2$

So, the magnitude of centripetal acceleration is $4\ m/s^2$ .

If you traveled one mile at a speed of 100 miles per hour and another mile at a speed if 1 mile per hour, your average speed wou

Semenov [28]

Answer:

v = 1.98 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed to travel one mile is 100 mph

Speed to travel another mile is 1 mph

The formula used to find your average speed is given by :

$v=\dfrac{2v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}$

Putting the values, we get :

$v=\dfrac{2\times 100\times 1}{100+1}$

v = 1.98 mph

So, yours average speed is 1.98 mph.

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

$a-b$

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

$123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams$

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

$7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams}$ ⇒ $7.6x10^{-3}Kg$
