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   (→)

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?
Luden [163]
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure,  volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, what is its hang time?
Kamila [148]
A projectile motion is characterized by motion moving in a direction of an arc. It is acted upon by two component vectors: the horizontal and vertical. These two vectors are independent of each other when it comes to time of flight. The horizontal direction travels at constant speed, while the vertical direction travels at constant acceleration due to gravity, The time for an object to reach the ground would be equal, whether dropped from the sampe point or thrown in a projectile motion. Of course, this is assuming ideality wherein there is no air resistance.

So, the hang up time, or the time the object stayed on air is calculated using this equation:

a = Δv/t
Δv is the change in velocity which is the initial velocity when it was dropped to when it reaches zero velocity when it hits the ground.
9.81 m/s² = |(0 - 7.3)|/t
t = 0.744 seconds
