Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²

A 4.00 kg block is suspended from a spring with k 500 N/m. A 50.0 g bullet is fired into the block from directly below with a sp
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. A = 0.1656 m

b. % E = 1.219

Explanation:

Given

mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150  m/s , k = 500 N / m

a.

To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy

ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0

¹/₂ * m * v²  -  ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0

A = √ mB * vₓ² / k

vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB

vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518

A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)²   /   (500 N / m)

A = 0.1656 m

b.

The percentage of kinetic energy

%E = Es / Ek

Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5

Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N

% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100

% E = 1.219

A car initially traveling 7 m/s speeds up uniformly at a rate of 3 m/s2 until it reaches a velocity of 22 m/s. How much time did
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

t = 5 s

Explanation:

Data:

  • Initial Velocity (Vo) = 7 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = 22 m/s
  • Time (t) = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{Vf - Vo}{a}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{22\frac{m}{s} -7\frac{m}{s}}{3\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Solve the subtraction of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\frac{15\frac{m}{s}}{3\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=5\ s}

How much time did it take the car to reach this final velocity?

It took a time of <u>5 seconds.</u>

A mover pushes a 46.0kg crate 10.3m across a rough floor without acceleration. How much work did the mover do (horizontally) pus
Alchen [17]

Answer:

<h3>2,321.62Joules</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating workdone is expressed as;

Workdone = Force * Distance

Get the force

F = nR

n is the coefficient of friction = 0.5

R is the reaction = mg

R = 46 ( 9.8)

R = 450.8N

F = 0.5 * 450.8

F = 225.4N

Distance = 10.3m

Get the workdone

Workdone = 225.4 * 10.3

Workdone  = 2,321.62Joules

<em>Hence the amount of work done is 2,321.62Joules</em>
