Answer:
The velocity is
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of the 9 kg can be determined by these expression
Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction
Now to obtain the initial energy stored
Let U denote the initial energy stored and
Where x is the length the spring is displaced
k is the force constant of the string
Now referring to the formula above
i.e Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction
and we are told that coefficient of friction = 0.4 and the mass is 9 kg ,the acceleration due to gravity this displacement length of spring = 0.6
Therefore
Answer:
a) vboat = 5.95 m/s b) vriver= 1.05 m/s
Explanation:
a) As observed from the shore, the speed of the boats can be expressed as the vector sum, of the boat speed relative to the water and the river speed relative to the shore, as follows:
vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs
In one case, the boat is moving in the same direction as the water:
vb₁s = vb₁w + vrs = 7.0 m/s (1)
For the other boat, it is clear that is moving in an opposite direction:
vb₂s = vb₂w - vrs = 4.9 m/s (2)
As we know that vb₁w = vb₂w, adding both sides, we can remove the river speed from the equation, as follows:
vb₁w = vb₂w =
b) Replacing this value in (1) and solving for vriver, we have:
vriver = 7.0 m/s - 5.95 m/s = 1.05 m/s
(we could have arrived to the same result subtracting both sides in (1), and (2))
