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

An object weighs 15N in air and 13N when completely
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

<em>From Archimedes' principle,</em>

<em>Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.</em>

<em>U = W₁ - W₂..................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.</em>

<em>Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>U = 15 - 13 </em>

<em>U = 2 N</em>

<em>But,</em>

<em>Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.</em>

<em>Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity.................... Equation 2</em>

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water.............. Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

11. You want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. Using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, wh
Natalka [10]

Displacement is d  



Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d  



(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d  



-19.6 d = 300  



d = -15.3 m  



negative means lower



time is t  



d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²




-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²




4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0  



t = 3.06 s

the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. After 11,460 year, how much of original carbon-14 remains?
Inessa [10]

Via the half-life equation:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.
