The 8 kg block is then released and accelerates to the right, toward the 2 kg block. The surface is rough and the coefficient of

friction between each block and the surface is 0.4 . The two blocks collide, stick together, and move to the right. Remember that the spring is not attached to the 8 kg block. Find the speed of the 8 kg block just before it collides with the 2 kg block. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

A positively charged body exerts an electric field that causes a positively charged particle to move away from it. If work is do
ollegr [7]

Answer:

b. electric potential energy.

Explanation:

The energy required to move a charge against the electric field is known as the electric potential energy. As in above case positively charged body is exerting an electric field on the positive charge. As the same charges repel so the charge tend to move away. In order to push it towards the body we need a work done. As it is hard to push the positive charged particle towards the positive electric field. So in the cases like these particle occupies the electric potential energy.

(a) See graph in attachment

The appropriate graph to draw in this part is a graph of velocity vs time.

In this problem, we have a horse that accelerates from 0 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 s.

Assuming the acceleration of the horse is uniform, it means that the velocity (y-coordinate of the graph) must increase linearly with the time: therefore, the velocity-time graph will appear as a straight line, having the final point at

t = 10 s

v = 15 m/s

(b) 1.5 m/s^2

The average acceleration of the horse can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem,

u = 0

v = 15 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{15-0}{10}=1.5 m/s^2

(c) 75 m

For a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance travelled can be calculated by using the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0

t = 10 s

a=1.5 m/s^2

Substituting,

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(10)^2=75 m

(d) See attached graphs

In a uniformly accelerated motion:

- The distance travelled (x) follows the equation mentioned in part c,

x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So, we see that this has the form of a parabola: therefore, the graph x vs t will represents a parabola.

- The acceleration is constant during the motion, and its value is

a=1.5 m/s^2 (calculated in part b)

therefore, the graph acceleration vs time will show a flat line at a constant value of 1.5 m/s^2.

A vacuum cleaner has a rating of 460 W on 230 V mains. The value of the fuse connected in the plug will be
amid [387]

Answer:

2 amps

Explanation:

Given data

Power = 460W

voltage= 230V

Required

The amperage/ current of the fuse

Recall  P= IV

I= P/V

I= 460/230

I=2 amps

Hence the current of the fuse is 2 amps
