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   (→)

The vertical force f acts downward at A on the two membered frames. Determine the magnitude of the two components of F directed
galben [10]

Answer:

The magnitude will be "353.5 N". A further solution is given below.

Explanation:

The given values is:

F = 500 N

According to the question,

In ΔABC,

⇒ \angle BCA = (90-30)

⇒             =60^{\circ}

then,

⇒ \angle BAC=(180-45-60)

⇒             =75^{\circ}

Now,

The corresponding angle will be:

⇒ \angle FAC=60^{\circ}

⇒ \angle FAB=70+60

⇒             =135^{\circ}

Aspect of F across the AC arm will be:

= F\times cos(60)

On putting the values of F, we get

= 500\times (.5)

= 200 \ Newton

Component F along the AC (in magnitude) will be:

= F\times cos(135)

= 500\times (-.707)

= -353.5 \ N \

Your family is going to drive to your grandma's house for Christmas dinner. You set the car's odometer to 0 before you leave. Wh
Sati [7]

Answer:

Distance = 85.3 miles

displacement = 0

Explanation:

The total distance covered to grandma's house is 42.6 miles as recorded by the odometer. The same distance would be covered when returning to the base. Hence;

Total distance for the round trip = 42.6 + 42.6 = 85.2 miles

Since the trip was a round trip, the displacement is zero because the family returned to their initial location.

How is the density of a substance calculated?
den301095 [7]
1).  Take a sample of the substance.  The sample should be the largest
possible that will allow it to be be easily handled and the following steps
to be performed with it. 
(The density doesn't depend on the size of the sample, and every sample
of the same substance has the same density.  But using a larger sample
can improve the accuracy of the measurements you make, and therefore
improve the accuracy of the density you derive for the substance.)

2). Ask or measure the mass of the sample.

3). Ask or measure the volume of the sample.

4). Divide the mass by the volume. Their quotient is the density
of the substance.

The electric field everywhere on the surface of a thin, spherical shell of radius 0.770 m is of magnitude 860 N/C and points rad
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(a) Q = 7.28\times 10^{14}

(b) The charge inside the shell is placed at the center of the sphere and negatively charged.

Explanation:

Gauss’ Law can be used to determine the system.

\int{\vec{E}} \, d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E4\pi r^2 = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\(860)4\pi(0.77)^2 = \frac{Q_{enc}}{8.8\times 10^{-12}}\\Q_enc = 7.28\times 10^{14}

This is the net charge inside the sphere which causes the Electric field at the surface of the shell. Since the E-field is constant over the shell, then this charge is at the center and negatively charged because the E-field is radially inward.

The negative charge at the center attracts the same amount of positive charge at the surface of the shell.
