Answer:

The final speed of the masses is 8.75 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 8.9 kg

Other mass = 2.9 kg

Distance = 7.7 m

Let mass M_{s} start at its 0 Potential energy position.

Let mass M_{l} start with potential energy from its position 4.6 m over final position.

We need to calculate the final speed of the masses

Using conservation of energy

K.E_{s}+P.E_{s}+K.E_{l}+P.E_{l}=K.E'_{s}+P.E'_{s}+K.E'_{l}+P.E'_{l}

\dfrac{1}{2}m_{s}v^2+m_{s}gh+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{l}v^2+m_{l}gh=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{s}v^2+m_{s}gh+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{l}v^2+m_{l}gh

Put the value in the equation

0+0+0+8.9\times9.8\times7.7=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{s}v^2+2.9\times 9.8\times7.7+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{l}v^2+0

8.9\times9.8\times7.7-2.9\times9.8\times7.7=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2(8.9+2.9)

\dfrac{1}{2}v^2\times11.8=452.76

v^2=\dfrac{452.76\times2}{11.8}

v=8.75\ m/s

Hence, The final speed of the masses is 8.75 m/s.

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?
leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F  =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? (a) 104N (b) 338 N
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

b) 338 N

Explanation: let m be the mass of the gymnast and a be the acceleration of the gymnast.

the force required to accelerate the gymnast is given by:

F = m×a

  = (45.0)×(7.50)

  = 337.5 N

Therefore, the force a trampoline has to apply is 138 N.

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does
Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

  • μ is coefficient of static friction
  • Fs is frictional force
  • F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.
