Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow

n along the plane. After traveling some distance down the inclined plane it comes to rest due to frictional forces. In the simplest case, there are three forces acting upon the motion of the block—the initial push, gravity, and friction. Which of these statements about the work done by these three forces is true? The work done by the initial push is equal to the sum of the work done by friction and gravity. All three forces contribute an equal amount of work. The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by gravity and the initial push. The work done by gravity is equal to the sum of the work done by friction and the initial push.

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.

A very small object with mass 8.30×10-9 kg and positive charge 6.90×10-9 C is projected directly toward a very large insulating
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

41.4496148484\ m/s

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

\sigma = Surface charge density = 5.9\times 10^{-8}\ C/m^2

\Delta x = 0.57-0.26

q = Charge = 6.9\times 10^{-9}\ C

m = Mass of object = 8.3\times 10^{-9}\ kg

Electric field due to a sheet is given by

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-8}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=3333.33\ V/m

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

Voltage is given by

V=E\Delta x

Kinetic energy is given by

K=qV

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=qE\Delta x\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2qE\Delta x}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 6.9\times 10^{-9}\times 3333.33\times (0.57-0.26)}{8.3\times 10^{-9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=41.4496148484\ m/s

The initial speed of the object is 41.4496148484\ m/s

A rock is placed into a graduated cylinder containing 80 mL of water. What is the volume of the rock if the water level rises to
erastovalidia [21]
Ok so the expression that you will be doing is water-water+object. The actual expression is 120-80. The answer would be 40mL. Remember, don't forget your units! :)

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision
Ivan

Answer:

<u>Inelastic collision:</u>

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>

  • <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
  • <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>

<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>

<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

  • <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
  • <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

<u>Given examples:</u>

  • Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

  • A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision
