Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

Work = Force \times displacement

here we know that

Force = 8 N

displacement = 2 m

Now work done is given as

W = 8\times 2

W = 16 J

so it will do 16 J work to move the box

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring force constant with
icang [17]

Complete question:

a 2.0 kg block slides on the horizontal, frictionless surface until it counters a spring with force constant of  955 N/m. The block comes to rest after compressing the spring a distance of 4.6 cm. Find the initial speed (in m/s) of the block.

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the block, m = 2.0 kg

force constant of the spring, K = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

Apply Hook's law to determine applied force on the spring;

F = Kx

F = (955 N/m)(0.046 m)

F = 43.93 N

Apply Newton's 2nd law to determine the magnitude of deceleration of the block when it encounters the spring;

F = ma

a = F / m

a = 43.93 / 2

a = 21.965 m/s²

Apply kinematic equation to determine the initial speed of the block;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final speed of the block = 0

u is the initial speed of the block

x is the distance traveled by the block = compression of the spring

a is the block deceleration = -21.965 m/s²

0 = u² + 2(-21.965 )(0.046)

0 = u²  - 2.021

u² =  2.021

u = √2.021

u = 1.422 m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.422 m/s

Select all of the following that describes momentum, p [mark all correct answers]
Inga [223]

Answer:

c. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

e. Momentum is a vector quantity

g. Momentum has unit of kgm/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum P

P = m .v

m =mass

v=Velocity

If mass take in kg and velocity is in m/s then momentum p will be in kg.m/s.

1. momentum is the product of velocity and mass.

2.Momentum is a vector quantity.

3.Momentum have kg.m/s unit.

So the following option are correct.

c. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

e. Momentum is a vector quantity

g. Momentum has unit of kgm/s.

Note-

1.Joule is the unit of energy.

2.One-half the product of mass and the square of the object's speed is known as kinetic energy.
