Answer:

18 J

Explanation:

Work done: This can be defined as the product of force and distance acting on a body. The S. I unit of work is Joules (J)

From the question, the work that must be done in bringing the block to rest is equal to the kinetic energy of the block.

Ek = 1/2mv².................... Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic eenrgy m = mass of the block, v = velocity of the block.

Given: m = 4 kg, v = 3 m/s.

Substituting into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(4)(3²)

Ek = 2(9)

Ek = 18 J.

Thus the work that must me done on the block to bring it to rest = 18 J.

As the solar nebula contracts during the formation of the solar system, it Group of answer choices forms a black hole. flattens
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Flattens out into the ecliptic plane and spins faster due to conservation of angular momentum.

Explanation:

A star is formed in a molecular cloud of gas and dust, mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. The Nebular Theory establishes, for the formation of the solar system, that the cloud starts to collapse under its own gravity when it receives a shock wave from a near event, for example, a supernova explosion. That results in the cloud breaking in small pieces, and those pieces constitute a possible future star.

Then it begins to accrete and rotate as a consequence of the angular momentum.        

L = mrv\sin \theta  (1)    

Where m is the mass, r is the radius and v is the velocity and \theta is the angle between the velocity and r.

The operator of a space station observes a space vehicle approaching at a constant speed v. The operator sends a light signal at
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The speed of the light signal as viewed from the observer is c.

Explanation:

Recall the basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is the same in ALL inertial frames. Based on this, the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.

it takes 90 j of work to stretch a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How muc work is needed to stretch it an additiona
Vinvika [58]

Work needed: 720 J

Explanation:

The work needed to stretch a spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is stretched, which is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring from the equilibrium position

In this problem, we have

E = 90 J (work done to stretch the spring)

x = 0.2 m (stretching)

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{2E}{x^2}=\frac{2(90)}{(0.2)^2}=4500 N/m

Now we can find what is the work done to stretch the spring by an additional 0.4 m, that means to a total displacement of

x = 0.2 + 0.4 = 0.6 m

Substituting,

E'=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(4500)(0.6)^2=810 J

Therefore, the additional work needed is

\Delta E=E'-E=810-90=720 J
