Answer:

40J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2

Where m = mass and

v = velocity

Given mass = 20kg

v = 2m/s

K.E = 1/2 x 20 x2^2

= 1/2 x 20 x 2 x 2

= 80/2

= 40J

To a physicist floating next to it in another canoe, its KE is zero.

To a physicist standing on the riverbank watching it go by, its KE is 40J.

They're both correct for their own reference frame.

A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp
Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

I = mR^2/2

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2

So the friction torque is

T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm

The friction force is

F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N

What can you predict about an element from its position in the periodic table
bazaltina [42]
Based on its position in the periodic table, you can predict how many electrons it has, how many valence electrons, how many levels of electrons, and its atomic number and mass.

Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Each magnet has a north pole and a south pole. We know that, from having played with bar magnets in our childhood, that a magnet's north pole will repel another magnet's north pole and attract its south pole.

From this diagram it is easy to see that the two lower bar magnets not only repel each other, but they are quite attracted to each other since their north and south poles are close together.

Therefore the region between the lower two magnets has the least force of repulsion.

A man does 4,780 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.70 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 25.5 m.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

(A) Velocity will be 1.88 m/sec

(b) Force will be 187.45 N

Explanation:

We have given work done = 4780 j

Distance d = 25.5 m

(A) Mass of the truck m = m=2.70\times 10^3kg

We know that kinetic energy is given  by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

So v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 4780}{2.7\times 10^3}}=1.88m/sec

(B) We know that work done is given by

W = Fd

So F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{4780}{25.5}=187.45N
