Answer: V_{f}=2.96m/s    

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight w of the block has an x-component and y-component:

w_{x}=wsin(\theta)    (1)

w_{y}=wcos(\theta)    (2)

As well as the Normal Force N:

N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)    (3)

N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)    (4)

In addition, we know N=w, then \sum F_{y}=0

In the X-component:

\sum F_{x}=m.a

m.a=w_{x}    (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

wsin(\theta)=m.a    (6)

In addition, we know w=m.g, where m is the mass of the block and g the gravity acceleration, which is equal to 9.8m/{s}^{2}  

So:

m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a   (7)

a=g.sin(\theta)    (8)

a=5.88m/{s}^{2}    (9)   >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a <u>relation between</u> the distance d with the acceleration a and time t:

d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}   (10)

We already know the value of  d and calculated a, we have to find t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}   (11)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}   (12)

t=0.50s   (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity V_{o} to its final velocity V_{f}

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find V_{f}:

V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t   (13)

If V_{o}=0

V_{f}=a.t   (14)

V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)   (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

V_{f}=2.96m/s

A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 33
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2.

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy per molecule of a ideal gas is given by:

\bar{K}=\frac{3k_{B}T}{2}

Now, we know that \bar{K} = (1/2)m\bar{v}^{2}

Before the absorption we have:

(1/2)m\bar{v_{1}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{1}}{2} (1)

After the absorption,

(1/2)m\bar{v_{2}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{2}}{2} (2)

If we want the ratio of v2/v1, let's divide the equation (2) by the equation (1)

\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}}=\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{1340}{335}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{4}

Therefore the ratio will be \frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2

I hope it helps you!

A spaceship far from all other objects uses its impulse power system to attain a speed of 104 m/s. The crew then shuts off the p
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Velocity remains the same at 104 m/s

Explanation:

According to Newton's 1st law of motion, an object subjected to no force or net force equal 0 would maintain its velocity. In our case the crew shuts off the power, spaceship is in space and far from all other objects (so no gravity whatsoever) would have no force acting on it. Therefore its velocity would stay the same at 104 m/s
