Answers:

a) 3.46 m/s

b) 2 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

The complete question is written below:

A 6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to East along a horizontal, frictionless surface by a constant horizontal force of 12 N.

a) Find the speed of the block (using work-kinetic energy theorem) after it has moved 3.0 m.

b) Find the acceleration of the block using Newton.

<h3>a) Speed of the block after it has moved 3m</h3>

Let's begin by explaining the following:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  In addition, W is a scalar quantity, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy).

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of motion are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=F.d (1)

Where:

F= 12 N is the force exerted to pull the block to the East

d= 3 m is the distance the block has been moved

W=(12 N)(3 m) (2)

W=36 Nm= 36 J (3)

On the other hand, energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others. In this sense, according to the  <u>Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem</u> we have:

W=\Delta K=K_{f}-K_{o} (4)

Where:

\Delta K is the variation in kinetic energy K which is equal to:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2} (5)

Where:

m=6kg is the mass of the block

V is the velocity

Hence, the <u>Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem </u> is written as follows:

W=\frac{1}{2}mV_{f}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mV_{o}^{2} (6)

Where the initial velocity is zero (V_{o}=0 m/s) since we are told the block is initially at rest:

W=\frac{1}{2}mV_{f}^{2} (7)

So, we have to find the final velocity V_{f}, substituting (3) in (7):

36 J=\frac{1}{2}6 kg V_{f}^{2} (8)

V_{f}=3.46 m/s (9) This is the speed of the block after it has moved 3m

<h3>b) Acceleration of the block</h3>

According to <u>Newton's second law of motion, </u>which relates the force F with the mass m and the acceleration a of an object, we have:

F=m.a (10)

On the other hand, acceleration is the variation of velocity \Delta Vin time \Delta t:

a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} (11)

Then, equation (10) is rewritten as:

F=m \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} (12)

Isolating \Delta t:

\Delta t=\frac{m \Delta V}{F} (13)

Since \Delta V=V_{f}-V_{o} and V_{o}=0, we have:

\Delta V=V_{f}=3.46 m/s

\Delta t=\frac{(6 kg) (3.46 m/s)}{12 N} (14)

\Delta t=1.73 s (15)

Substituting (15) in (11):

a=\frac{3.46 m/s}{1.73 s} (16)

Finally:

a=1.99 m/s^{2} \approx 2 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration

A sound wave from a police siren has an intensity of 100.0 W/m² at a certain point; a second sound wave from a nearby ambulance
Irina18 [472]

The sound level of the sound wave due to the ambulance is 140.

<h3>What do you mean by sound?</h3>

In terms of physics, the sound is a vibration that travels through a transmission medium like a gas, liquid, or solid as an acoustic wave. Sound is the reception of these waves and the brain's perception of them in terms of human physiology and psychology. Only acoustic waves with frequencies between roughly 20 Hz and 20 kHz, or the audio frequency range, can cause a human to have an auditory sensation. These are sound waves with wavelengths ranging from 17 meters (56 ft) to 1.7 millimeters in the air at atmospheric pressure (0.67 in). Ultrasounds are sound waves with a frequency higher than 20 kHz that are inaudible to humans. Infrasound refers to sound frequencies below 20 Hz. Animals of different species have different hearing ranges.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
