A 4.5 kg box slides down a 4.3-m-high frictionless hill, starting from rest, across a 2.0-m-wide horizontal surface, then hits a

horizontal spring with spring constant 510 N/m. The other end of the spring is anchored against a wall. The ground under the spring is frictionless, but the 2.0-m-long horizontal surface is rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on this surface is 0.22. What is the speed of the box just before reaching the rough surface? What is the speed of the box just before hitting the spring? How far is the spring compressed? Including the first crossing, how many complete trips will the box make across the rough surface before coming to rest?

Answer:

speed  before reaching rough surface = 9.18 m/s

speed before hitting spring = 8.70 m/s

spring compression = 82 cm

number of complete trip = 9

Explanation:

Lets say

Position 1: On top of hill

Position 2: down the hill

Position 3: after the rough surface

Position 4: after hitting the spring

We'll strictly use conservation of energy for this equation

Potential energy on top of energy is full converted into kinetic energy down the hill (since surface is frictionless)

Hence, PEg1 = KE2

mgh = (1/2)mv2^2

(4.5)(9.8)(4.3) = (1/2)(4.5)v2^2

189.63 = (1/2)(4.5)v2^2

v2^2 = 2(9.8)(4.3) = 84.28

v2 = sqrt(84.28) = 9.18 m/s

After down the hill, it passes a rough surface. So some of the energy is loss due to friction forces

Friction force, Ff = u (coeff of kinetic friction ) x N (normal force)

Normal force, N = weight of box = mg = 4.5 x 9.8

Ff = 0.22 x 4.5 x 9.8

Work done / Energy loss = Wf = Ff x d (distance)

Wf = 0.22 x 4.5 x 9.8 x 2 = 19.404

Energy after passing the rough surface is totally kinetic energy

KE3 = KE2 - Wf = 189.63 - 19.404 = 170.226

speed after rough surface,

(1/2)mv3^2 = 170.226

v3 = sqrt((2 x 170.226)/4.5) = 8.70 m/s

After hitting the spring, all the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy of spring

170.226 = (1/2)kx^2

x^2 = 2 x 170.226 / 510     {note that constant of spring, k = 510}

x^2 = 0.668

x = sqrt(0.668) = 0.82m (82 cm)

To calculate complete trip before the box coming to rest, note that the only place where it loss energy is at the rough surface.

Energy before the first time pass rough surface = 189.63

Energy loss each time passing rough surface = 19.404

189.63 / 19.404 = 9.773 (9 complete with balance of 0.773)

That mean, the box will pass the rough surface 9 complete trip before coming to rest

Alla [95]

Answer:

3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:

When the body needs to move, certain muscles need to be stimulated in order to perform a certain movement. There is a process that is followed that starts with the brain sending a signal, and ends with the movement being performed by the body.

3. This is the first step, because a pathway needs to be established before any electric impulses can be sent. Hence, the upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex <u>need to choose a pathway</u> (known as a motor program).

5. This is the second step, because once a pathway has been established, a <u>signal needs to be sent</u> down that pathway. Hence, the basal nuclei enable the thalamus to stimulate the upper motor neurons to send an electrical impulse down the pathway.

1. This is the third step, because once the upper motor neurons have been stimulated, they send an electrical impulse to stimulate the lower motor neurons.

4. This is the forth step, because once the electrical impulse reaches the lower motor neurons, they pass the impulse to a certain group of skeletal muscles, causing them to contract.

2. This is the final step, because once the skeletal muscles have contracted, the <u>body has completed its movement</u>. However, once the body has moved, sensory information is relayed to the cerebellum to <u>ensure that the correct movement is made</u>, and if it needs to be adjusted, then the whole process will start again in order to correct the movement.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arsen [322]

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm
