The body weighing 2 kg moves through the horizontal surface and crosses the path x = 75 cm The coefficient of friction of the bo

Taya2010 [7]

The kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

Explanation:

As per the work energy theorem, the work done on any system or object to move it from one position to another is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. In this case, the body weighing 2 kg is moved over an horizontal surface for a distance of 75 cm. As there will be frictional force acting on the body while moving over the surface. This frictional force multiplied by the distance the object is moved will give the work done on the body.

Frictional force = Coeffficent of friction × Normal force.

As the weight of the body is 2 kg, the normal force acting on it will be mass multiplied with acceleration due to gravity.

Frictional force = - 0.8×9.8 × 2 =-15.68 N

So the work done will be the product of frictional force with the displacement of 75 cm or 0.75 m.

Work done = Frictional force × Displacement

Work done = -15.68×0.75 = -11.76 J.

So the work is done by the object.

If the kinetic energy of the body at starting is 16 J, then the kinetic energy of the body at definitive position will be obtained as below.

Work done = change in kinetic energy

-11.76 J = Final kinetic energy-16 J

Final Kinetic energy = - 11.76+16

Final kinetic energy = 4.24 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

A frictionless cart of mass M is attached to a spring with spring constant k. When the cart is displaced 6 cm from its rest posi

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Explanation:

Solution:

As we know that:

F = Kx

Here,

K = Spring constant

x = displacement.

First, they are displacing it with 6 cm from its rest position for which Time period of the oscillation is T = 2 seconds.

But next, they want to know the effect on the time period of the oscillation if the displacement x is doubled from 6cm to 12 cm.

First of all, let us see the equation of the time period of the oscillation.

We need to check, if time period does depend on the displacement or not.

As we know,

Time period of horizontal Oscillation = T = 2 $\pi$ $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

As you can see, from the equation, Period of oscillation depends upon the mass and the spring constant. Not on the displacement.

Since, K is the constant for a particular spring, we need to change the mass of the cart to change the time period.

Hence the Time period will remain same.

According to the law of refraction, light passing from air into a piece of glass at an angle of 30 degrees will cause the light

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal. In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium
