Two identical blocks, block A and block B, are placed on different horizontal surfaces. Block A is initially at rest on a smooth

surface, while block B is initially at rest on a rough surface. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F0 is exerted on each block. After the force has been applied for a time Δt, the speeds of blocks A and B are vA and vB, respectively. Which of the following claims indicates the correct relation between vA and vB and provides the best justification for the relation? (A) Va < Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block A.(B) Va < Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater, on average for block B.(C) Va > Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block A (D) Va > Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block B.

Answer:

(D) Va > Vb. The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block B.

Explanation:

Given that, Two identical blocks, block A and block B, are placed on different horizontal surfaces. Block A is initially at rest on a smooth surface, while block B is initially at rest on a rough surface.

And now, a constant force F₀ is exerted on each block for a time Δt.

Now, speeds of blocks A and B are vA and vB respectively.

In case of block A the surface is smooth, so there is no opposing force.

Whereas as, in case of block B, the surface is rough which means friction opposes the motion

So, some of the applied force is used to overcome this friction which makes the speed of block B vB to be less than that of block A vA.

⇒ Va > Vb.

And completely eliminating friction is not possible.

so, even smooth surface has friction which is very very little.

so, The forces between the atoms in a block and the atoms in a surface oppose the motion of the block and are greater on average for block B.

What is the change in velocity of a 22-kg object that experiences a force of 15 N for
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Force = mass × acceleration

Acceleration:

{ \tt{15 = (22 \times a)}} \\ { \tt{a =  \frac{15}{22}  \:  {ms}^{ - 2} }}

From first Newton's equation of motion:

{ \bf{v = u + at}}

Change = v - u:

{ \tt{v - u = (a \times t)}} \\ { \tt{v - u = ( \frac{15}{22} \times 1.2) }} \\ { \tt{v - u = 0.82 \:  {ms}^{ - 2} }}

A person walks 2 miles every day to work, leaving her front porch at 7:00 A.M. and arriving at work at 7:30 A.M. ON the way home
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The displacement is zero miles

Explanation:

The displacement of an object that moves from point A to point B is defined as

d =B-A

Where d is the displacement of the object. The displacement does not depend on the trajectory of the object. It only depends on the linear distance between the end point and the starting point.

In this case we know that the person walks from home to work and then walks from work to home. Therefore, the total displacement is the linear distance between the point where its journey begins and the point where the route ends.

The tour begins on the front porch of your house and ends on the front porch of your house (when you return from work). If we call A to the front porch of the house then the displacement is:

d = A-A = 0

The displacement is zero miles, since the person finishes the journey just where it started (front porch)

Last week we investigated the black hole at the center of our galaxy, with massMX= 8.5×1036kg. An object whose size is on the or
swat32

Answer:

d=2.38*10^{13}m

Explanation:

We know the mass of the hole, so we define as,

M_x= {8.5*10^{36}}kg

For which centripetal force is equal to gravitational force

\frac{mv^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{d^2}

Angular velocity is equal to v/r,

w^2r=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*8.5*10^{36}}{d^2}

As r=1 and w=1, we clear to d,

d^2=5.6695*10^{26}m

d=2.38*10^{13}m
