A block of mass m=1kg sliding along a rough horizontal surface is traveling at a speed v0=2m/s when it strikes a massless spring

head-on and compresses the spring a maximum distance X=10cm. If the spring has stiffness constant k=10N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface.

Here we can use the work energy theorem

W_f + W_s = K_f - K_i

here we know that

K_f = 0

as it come to rest finally

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

K_i = \frac{1}{2}\times 1\times 2^2

K_i = 2 J

now work done by friction force will be given as

W_f = - F_f \times d = -\mu mg d

W_f = - \mu(1)(9.8)(0.10) = - 0.98\mu

Work done by spring force is given as

W_s = \frac{1}{2}k(x_i^2 - x_f^2)

W_s = \frac{1}{2}(10)( 0 - 0.10^2)

W_s = -0.05 J

so now plug in all data above

- 0.05 - \mu(0.98) = 0 - 2

\mu = 1.99

so above is the friction coefficient

How are density and pressure related related to each other?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

A vector has a magnitude of 46.0 m and points in a direction 20.0° below the positive x-axis. A second vector, , has a magnitude
irina1246 [14]

Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b.\mid A\mid=46 m

\theta=20^{\circ} below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis=x=360-20=340^{\circ}

x-component of vector A=A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24

y-Component of vector A=A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis=x'=42^{\circ}

x-component of vector B=B_x=86cos42=63.64

y-Component of vector B=B_y=86sin42=57.62

Vector A=A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j

Vector B=B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j

C=106.88i+41.98j

c.Direction=\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree

In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met
mixer [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons increases.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons are only ejected from a metal surface if the frequency of the incident light increases the work function of the metal. If the frequency of the incident light is less than the work function of the metal no matter how intense the beam the electrons will not be ejected from the surface.

Using conservation of energy principle we have

E_{incident}=h\nu +\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

If we increase the intensity  of incident light the term on the LHS of the above equation increases this increase appears in the kinetic energy term in RHS of the equation since h\times \nu remains constant.
