You take the same 3 kg metal block and slide it along the floor, where the coefficient of friction is only 0.4. You release the

block with an initial velocity of 6 m/s. How long will it take for the block to come to stop? How far does the block move?

Answer:

1.52905 seconds

4.58715 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration = \mu g

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{\mu g}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-6}{-0.4\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.52905\ s

It will take 1.52905 seconds for the block to slow down

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2\mu g}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.4\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=4.58715\ m

The block will travel 4.58715 m before it stops

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable​.why?
vlada-n [284]
Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.

A particle leaves the origin with a speed of 3.6 106 m/s at 34 degrees to the positive x axis. It moves in a uniform electric fi
Andrej [43]

Answer:

E = -4556.18 N/m

Explanation:

Given data

u = 3.6×10^6 m/sec

angle = 34°

distance x = 1.5 cm = 1.5×10^-2 m  (This data has been assumed not given in

Question)

from the projectile motion the horizontal distance traveled by electron is

x = u×cosA×t

⇒t = x/(u×cos A)

We also know that force in an electric field is given as

F = qE

q= charge , E= strength of electric field

By newton 2nd law of motion

ma = qE

⇒a = qE/m

Also, y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×a×t^2

⇒y = u×sinA×t - 0.5×(qE/m)×t^2

if y = 0 then

⇒t = 2mu×sinA/(qE) = x/(u×cosA)

Also, E = 2mu^2×sinA×cosA/(x×q)

Now plugging the values we get

E = 2×9.1×10^{-31}×3.6^2×10^{12}×(sin34°)×(cos34°)/(1.5×10^{-2}×(-1.6)×10^{-19})

E = -4556.18 N/m

A 2-kg rock is thrown vertically upward at a speed of 3.2 m/s from the surface of the moon. If it returns to its starting point
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

1.6 m/s2

Explanation:

Let g_m be the gravitational acceleration of the moon. We know that due to the law of energy conservation, kinetic energy (and speed) of the rock when being thrown upwards from the surface and when it returns to the surface is the same. Given that g_m stays constant, we can conclude that the time it takes to reach its highest point, aka 0 velocity, is the same as the time it takes to fall down from that point to the surface, which is half of the total time, or 4 / 2 = 2 seconds.

So essentially it takes 2s to decelerate from 3.2 m/s to 0. We can use this information to calculate g_m

g_m = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{0 - 3.2}{2} = \frac{-3.2}{2} = -1.6 m/s^2

So the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.6 m/s2

Select ALL the correct answers. Two metal balls are dropped from the top of a two-story building at the same time. One ball is t
anastassius [24]
Statements 2 and 4 are correct. The velocity changes because the initial velocity is zero and each second they gain 9.8 m/s of velocity, which is the constant acceleration. Because there is no air resistance, they will land at the same time, and gravity acts equally upon both objects, so the velocity of both metal balls should always be the same.
