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   (→)

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

You are holding a shopping basket at the grocery store with two 0.55-kg cartons of cereal at the left end of the basket. the bas
stepan [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.

The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N

The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N

The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.

For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m

Answer:  0.63 m from the left end.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
