A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra, which has mass m, down a frictionless chute, starting at a height D above the bottom of the

chute and with an initial speed of v. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction μ. At what distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Express your answer in terms of the given variables and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

Explanation:

mass of the boy = m kg

staring height of the boy = D meters

initial velocity = v

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

total energy of the toy is

E_total = K.E. +P.E.

= 0.5mv^2 +mgD

= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

The work done by friction force

W= μ×F_normal ×distance

W= μ×m×g×d

hence, the distance d covered by the zebra toy

and since, the total energy is conserved

W= E_total

μ×m×g×d= m( 0.5v^2+ gD)

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

hence, the distance d from the bottom of the chute does the toy algebra comes to rest.

d=\frac{0.5v^2+gD}{\mu\times g}

A uniform rod of mass M and length L can pivot freely at one end. Initially, the rod is oriented vertically above the pivot, in
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The speed of its center of mass =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}gL}

Explanation:

Consider the potential energy at the level of center of mass of rod below the pivot=0

Mass of uniform rod=M

Length of rod=L

The rotational inertia about the end of a uniform rod=\frac{1}{3}ML^2

Kinetic energy at the level of center of mass of rod below the pivot=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Kinetic energy at the level of center of mass of rod above the pivot=0

Potential energy at the level of center of mass of rod above the pivot=mgh

We have to find the center of mass ( in terms of g and L).

According to conservation of law of energy

Initial P.E+Initial K.E=Final P.E+Final K.E

mgh+0=0+\frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Where K.E=\frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

I=Moment of inertia

\omega=Angular velocity

Substitute the values then we get

MgL=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}ML^2\omega^2

\omega^2=\frac{6g}{L}

Now, we know that \omega=\frac{v}{r}, r=\frac{L}{2}

Substitute the values then we get

\frac{v^2}{(\frac{L}{2})^2}=\frac{6g}{L}

\frac{v^24}{L^2}=\frac{6g}{L}

v^2=\frac{6g\times L^2}{4L}

v^2=\frac{3gL}{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}gL}

Hence, the speed of its center of mass =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}gL}

The headwater of three different river systems are also found in Wyoming. Identify these three river systems.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The Wind Missouri-Mississippi, The Snake Columbia, and the Green-Colorado drainage.

Explanation:

  • The wind river ranges of the Wyoming is a major headwaters system of the united states and the rage is home to about 63 glaciers and ten of the largest glacier of the united states are found in this region. The wind river range is about 77% of the area s located in the drainage.
  • The green river is located in the western united states and forms a green river basin of about 730 miles long and covers much of the Colorado plateaus and the snake river forms in a major area of the Sierra Nevada and the cascade range.
