A 10 kg block is pushed with a constant horizontal force of 20 n against a constant horizontal frictional force of 10 n. What is

the acceleration of the block?

Answer:

The acceleration would be a=1 m/s^2. Let's explain why.

Explanation:

Let's say the block is □

20N→□    Block is pushed with a constant horizontal force of 20N

□←10N     It is known that frictional force is the <u>opposite way</u> of the movement

So it is safe to say that there is 10 N force trying to stop the block.

In this case our net force is F_{net} = 20-10=10N

According to <u>Newton's second motion law</u>

F=m.a (m=mass, F=force, a=acceleration

F_{net} =10=10.a → a=1\frac{m^{2} }{s}

As an extra information the block also applies gravitational m.g force down but since there is no other force applies in the vertical way, ground compansate the force.

The 1.18-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in
sattari [20]

Answer:

 k = 11,564 N / m,   w = 6.06 rad / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we have a horizontal bar and a vertical spring not stretched, the bar is released, which due to the force of gravity begins to descend, in the position of Tea = 46º it is in equilibrium;

 let's apply the equilibrium condition at this point

                 

Axis y

          W_{y} - Fr = 0

          Fr = k y

let's use trigonometry for the weight, we assume that the angle is measured with respect to the horizontal

             sin 46 = W_{y} / W

             W_{y} = W sin 46

     

 we substitute

           mg sin 46 = k y

           k = mg / y sin 46

If the length of the bar is L

          sin 46 = y / L

           y = L sin46

 

we substitute

           k = mg / L sin 46 sin 46

           k = mg / L

for an explicit calculation the length of the bar must be known, for example L = 1 m

           k = 1.18 9.8 / 1

           k = 11,564 N / m

With this value we look for the angular velocity for the point tea = 30º

let's use the conservation of mechanical energy

starting point, higher

          Em₀ = U = mgy

end point. Point at 30º

         Em_{f} = K -Ke = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          em₀ = Em_{f}

          mgy = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          w = √ (mgy + ½ ky²) 2 / I

the height by 30º

           sin 30 = y / L

           y = L sin 30

           y = 0.5 m

the moment of inertia of a bar that rotates at one end is

          I = ⅓ mL 2

          I = ½ 1.18 12

          I = 0.3933 kg m²

let's calculate

          w = Ra (1.18 9.8 0.5 + ½ 11,564 0.5 2) 2 / 0.3933)

          w = 6.06 rad / s

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.

A 10-kg cart moving at 5 m/s collides with a 5-kg cart at rest and causes it to move 10 m/s. Which principle explains the result
Over [174]
B) law of conservation of momentum

It states that the total momentum of a system before impact is the same as the total momentum of the system after impact.

In this case total momentum before impact:

10kg*5m/s  + 5kg * 0m/s = 50 kg m/s

After Impact:

10kg*0m/s + 5kg*10m/s = 50 kg m/s

You can see the momentum before and after impact is same as 50 kg m/s  

Of course we assumed that the first cart stopped after the impact, and there are no energy losses.
