A 12 kg block is at rest on a level floor. A 417 g glob of putty is thrown at the block such that it travels horizontally, hits

the block, and sticks to it. The block and putty slide 15 cm along the floor. If the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.40, what is the initial speed of the putty?

Answer:

u₂ = 32.29 m/s

Explanation:

m₁ = 12 kg

u₁ = 0 m/s

m₂ = 417 g = 0.417 kg

d = 15 cm = 0.15 m

μ = 0.40

u₂ = ?

It is an inelastic collision. After the collision

We can apply ∑ F = m*a  for the system (m₁ + m₂)

where   m = m₁ + m₂ = 12 kg + 0.417 kg = 12.417 kg

then

∑ F = - Ff = m*a

if

Ff = μ*N = μ*W = μ*(m*g) = μ*m*g

⇒    - μ*m*g = m*a    ⇒    a = - μ*g = - 0.40*9.8 m/s² = - 3.92 m/s²

⇒    a = - 3.92 m/s²

Since vf = 0 m/s (for the system)

we use the equation

vf² = vi²+2*a*d   ⇒   0 = vi²+2*a*d   ⇒    vi = √(-2*a*d)

⇒    vi = √(-2*(- 3.92 m/s²)*0.15 m)

⇒    vi = 1.0844 m/s

we can use the equation for an inelastic collision

m₁*u₁ + m₂*u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)*vs

since m = m₁ + m₂;  u₁ = 0 m/s   and   vs = vi

we have

m₁*0 + m₂*u₂ = m*vi

⇒   u₂ = m*vi / m₂

⇒   u₂ = 12.417 kg*1.0844 m/s / 0.417 kg

⇒   u₂ = 32.29 m/s   (→)

14. What is the standard deviation for the numbers 75,83,96,100,121 and 125?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

2√109 about 20.88

Explanation:

The mean of this set of numbers is (75+83+96+100+121+125)/6 is 100. Next step is ((75-100)^2+(83-100)^2+(96-100)^2+(100-100)^2+(121-100)^2+(125-100)^2)/6 this result is called deviation. Square root the deviation(436) then you set the standard deviation.

An object starts at Xi = -4m with an initial velocity of 4m/s. It experiences an acceleration of -2 m/s^2 for 2 seconds, followe
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a) 0 m/s

b) - 24 m/s

c)  - 68 m

Explanation:

Given:

Initial distance = - 4 m

Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

1) acceleration, a = - 2 m/s² for time, t = 2 seconds

thus,

velocity after 2 seconds will be

from Newton's equation of motion

v = u + at

v = 4 + (-2) × 2

v = 0 m/s

2) Velocity after 2 second is the initial velocity for this case

given acceleration = - 6 m/s² for 4 seconds

thus,

final velocity, v = 0 + ( - 6 ) × 4 = - 24 m/s

here the negative sign depicts the velocity in opposite direction to the initial direction of motion

thus, velocity after 6 seconds = - 24 m/s

3) Now,

Total displacement in 6 seconds

= Displacement in 2 seconds + Displacement in 4 seconds

From Newton's equation of motion

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

where,  

s is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

thus,

= 0\times2+\frac{1}{2}\times(-2)\times2^2  + 0\times4+\frac{1}{2}\times-6\times4^2

= - 16 - 48

= - 64 m

Hence, the final displacement = - 64 - 4 = - 68 m

Any clue on this one
rodikova [14]

Answer: First option

Explanation: The higher the frequency, the higher the energy.

λν=c where λ is the wavelength, ν is the frequency and c is the speed of light. So when wavelength decreases, v increases and so does energy.

An AM radio wave has a very long wavelength. It therefore has a very low frequency and low energy.

A light wave has a very short wavelength. It therefore has a high frequency and high energy.
