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}

3 In a television tube, an electron starting from rest experiences a force of 4.0 × 10−15 N over a distance of 50 cm. The final
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The final speed of the electron = 2.095×10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

From newton's fundamental equation of dynamics,

F = ma ........................Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass of the electron, a = acceleration of the electron.

making a the subject of the equation,

a = F/m.................... Equation 2

Given: F = 4.0×10⁻¹⁵ N,

Constant: m =  9.109×10⁻³¹ kg.

Substituting into equation 2

a = 4.0×10⁻¹⁵/9.109×10⁻³¹

a = 4.39×10¹⁶ m/s².

Using newton's equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as .......................... Equation 3

Where v = final velocity of the electron, u = initial velocity of the electron, a = acceleration of the electron, s = distance covered by the electron.

Given: u = 0 m/s(at rest), s = 50 cm = 0.5 m, a = 4.39×10¹⁶ m/s²

Substituting into equation 3

v² = 0² + 2(0.5)(4.39×10¹⁶)

v = √(4.39×10¹⁶)

v = 2.095×10⁸ m/s

Thus the final speed of the electron = 2.095×10⁸ m/s

What happens to a sample of matter when it’s particles lose kinetic energy?
Mrrafil [7]
What will happen if the sample is the
Featured snippet from the web
When a sample of solid, liquid, or gas matter heats up, it expands. When matter gets hot, its particles gain kinetic energy. ... When matter cools down, its particles lose kinetic energy. The decreased kinetic energy lets the particles come closer together. The kinetic theory of matter can be used to explain how solids, liquids and gases are interchangeable as a result of increase or decrease in heat energy. ... If it is cooled the motion of the particles decreases as they lose energy.

As you finish listening to your favorite compact disc (CD), the CD in the player slows down to a stop. Assume that the CD spins
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

A. w=8.3rev/s

a_v=3.21rev/s^2

B. rev=10.79rev

Explanation:

A.

500rpm

500rpm*\frac{1minute}{60seg}=8.33\frac{rev}{s}

the time is about 2.60s knowing the acceleration is:

a_v=\frac{w}{t}

so:

w=8.3rev/s

a_v=\frac{8.33 rev/s}{2.60s}=3.21rev/s^2

B.

The CD stop so the final velocity is vf=0 so:

Total revolutions:

8.3rev/s*2.60s=21.58rev

21.58rev/2=10.79 rev

A spring is originally 0.4m. When a 23N force is applied it stretches to a total of 0.7m. How far is the spring been extended? W
sergejj [24]

Recall the force applied to a spring and its extension/compression:

F = kΔx

Δx is the change in the spring's length (measured from its original length).

x = 0.7 m

x₀ = 0.4 m

Δx = x-x₀ = 0.7 m - 0.4 m = 0.3 m

F = 23 N


Substitute and solve for k:

23 = k×0.3

<h3>k = 7.67 N/m</h3>
