A block of mass m = 2.0 kg slides head on into a spring of spring constant k = 260 N/m. When the block stops, it has compressed

the spring by 14 cm. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor is 0.42. While the block is in contact with the spring and being brought to rest, what are
(a) the work done by the spring force and
(b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system?
(c) What is the block's speed just as the block reaches the spring? Please show all steps.

Answer:

a) Ws = 2.548 J

b) Wf = 1.153 J

c) v = 1.923 m / s

Explanation:

a) The work done by the spring force  

Ws =  ½ * k * x²

Ws =  ½ * 260 N/m *0.14² m  

Ws =  2.548J

b) The increase in thermal energy can by find using  

Et = Wf

Wf = µ * m *g * x  

Wf = 0.42 * 2.0 kg *9.8 m/s² * 0.14m

Wf = 1.153 J

c) The speed just as the block reaches can by fin using

EK = Ws + Et

Ek = ( 2.548 + 1.153 ) J = 3.7 J

Ek = ½ * m * v²

v² = 2* Ek / m

v = √[2 * 3.7 J / 2.0 kg]

v = 1.923 m / s

(Figure 1) shows the angular-velocity-versus-time graph for a particle moving in a circle. How many revolutions does the object
Travka [436]

Answer: 10.34

Explanation:

Given

\omega -t graph for a particle is given

angle turned by the particle in radians is given by the area under \omega -t graph

The area is given by

A=20\times (2-0)+10(4-2)+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (20-10)\times (3-2)\\A=40+20+5=65\ rad

Revolutions(N) made by the object is given by

N=\dfrac{65}{2\pi }=10.34

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.
zavuch27 [327]
<span>A) x = 41t
    The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.</span>

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called
vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive  force  between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.

Equation 2:m2 : m2a= F - T 

Adding 1 and 2a=0.073

Placing in  equation 1

we get T = 218.18N
