A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

$U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}$

$U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2$

$U_{A}=88.8\ J$

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

If a body travels half its total path in the last 1.50 s of its fall from rest, find the total time of its fall (in seconds).

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

time to fall is 3.914 seconds

Explanation:

given data

half distance time = 1.50 s

to find out

find the total time of its fall

solution

we consider here s is total distance

so equation of motion for distance

s = ut + 0.5 × at² .........1

here s is distance and u is initial speed that is 0 and a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 and t is time

so for last 1.5 sec distance is 0.5 of its distance so equation will be

0.5 s = 0 + 0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² ........................1

and

velocity will be

v = u + at

so velocity v = 0+ 9.8(t-1.5) ..................2

so first we find time

0.5 × (9.8) × ( t - 1.5)² = 9.8(t-1.5) + 0.5 ( 9.8)

solve and we get t

t = 3.37 s

so time to fall is 3.914 seconds

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?

DiKsa [7]

<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>
