Two identical blocks are connected to opposite ends of a compressed spring. the blocks initially slide together on a frictionles

s surface with a velocity v to the right. at some instant, the left block is moving at v/2 to the left and the other block is moving to the right. what is the speed of the center of the mass of they system at that instant?

Answer:

v to the right.

Explanation:

<u>If there is no external force on the system, then the velocity of the center of mass is </u><u>constant</u><u>. </u>

The initial velocity of center of mass is v to the right. Therefore, the velocity of the center of mass at any point is v to the right.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:3.77 T/s

Explanation:

Given

Area of cross-section=3.7\times 3.7 cm^2=13.69 cm^2

N=no of turns=61

Resistance=R=8 \Omega

current (i)=0.04 A

emf induced=i\times R=0.04\times 8=0.32 V

emf induced e=NA\frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}

0.32=62\times 13.69\times 10^{-4}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} B}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{0.32\times 10^4}{848.78}=3.77 T/s

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m*g*h

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

  • 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
  • If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)

Multiply.

  • 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
  • Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

PE=7.84  \ J

Narysuj wykres zależności v(t) jeśli w chwili początkowej t=0 V=10m/s w każdej sekundzie szybkość zmniejsza się o 1m/s . Po jaki
irina1246 [14]

1) See graph in attachment

2) 10 s

3) 50 m

Explanation:

1)

In this problem, we have an object initially moving with a velocity of

v = 10 m/s

when the time is

t = 0 s

Then, we are told that the speed of the object is decreasing by 1 m/s every  second. This means that on a velocity-time graph, the motion will be represented by a straight line, starting from v = 10 when t = 0, and decreasing by 1 m/s every second.

The result can be found in the graph in attachment.

Moreover, we can also infer that the motion of the object is accelerated (because velocity is changing), and that the acceleration is constant and it is equal to

a=1 m/s^2

which is equivalent to the gradient of the line in the velocity-time graph.

2)

In this part, we want to find after what time the body will stop its motion.

To do that, we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In this problem:

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity of the body

a=-1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

v = 0 m/s, because we want to find the time T at which the body will stop

Re-arranging the equation, we find:

T=-\frac{u}{a}=-\frac{10}{-1}=10 s

3)

In order to find the total distance covered by the body during its accelerated motion, we have to use another suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

In this problem:

u = 10 m/s is the initial velocity

a=-1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 10 s is the time it takes for the body to stop (found in part 2)

Solving for s, we find the distance covered:

s=(10)(10)+\frac{1}{2}(-1)(10)^2=50 m
