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}

Which factors affect gravitational potential force but not elastic potential energy
Inga [223]

Answer:

The mass of the object involved and the value of the gravitational acceleration

Explanation:

- Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object in a gravitational field due to its position with respect to the ground:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the heigth of the object with respect to the ground.

- Elastic potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an elastic object and it is given as:

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant of the elastic object, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to the equilibrium position.

As we can see from the equations, both types of energy depends on the relative position of the object/end of the spring with respect to a certain reference position (h in the first formula, x in the second formula), but gravitational potential energy also depends on m (the mass) and g (the gravitational acceleration) while the elastic energy does not.

Which of the following does NOT represent Newton’s second law? Question 20 options: a = m/Fnet m = Fnet/a Fnet = ma a = Fnet/m
Natali [406]

Answer:

a=m/f is not an equation under newton's second law

Explanation:

newton's second law of motion is represented using: f=ma

where a=v-u/t

therefore it becomes,f=m(v-u)/t

from f=ma,

a will become f/m,

m will become f/a

You and a friend work in buildings five equal-length blocks apart, and you plan to meet for lunch. Your friend strolls leisurely
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Your friend is 2.143 blocks from the restaurant.

You are 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

Explanation:

Let t be the time both you and your friend take to walk to the restaurant.

The distance (m) from your building to the restaurant is your walking time t times your speed v1

s_1 = v_1t = 1.6t

Similarly the distance (m) from your friend building to the restaurant:

s_2 = v_2t = 1.2t

Let b be the length (in m) of a block, the total distance of 5 blocks is 5b

s_1 + s_2 = 5b

1.6t + 1.2t = 5b

2.8t = 5b

t = 5b/2.8 = 25b/14

s_2 = 1.2t = 1.2(25b/14) = 2.143b

So your friend are 2.143b meters from the restaurant, since each block is b meters long, 2.143b meters would equals to 2.143b/b = 2.143 blocks. And you are 5 - 2.143 = 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

In your own words, explain how solar heating works
mestny [16]

Answer:

active solar heating systems use solar energy to heat a fluid either liquid or air and then transfer the solar heat directly to the interior space or to a storage system for later use. If the solar system cannot provide adequate space heating, an auxiliary or back-up system provides the additional heat.

hope this helps : )
