Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

model, which is initially motionless and has a mass of 0.350 kg. Both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. What is their final velocity?

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

mu=(m+M)v

where

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the koala bear

u = 0.750 m/s is the initial velocity of the koala bear

M = 0.350 kg is the mass of the other clay model

v is their final combined velocity

Solving the equation for v, we get

v=\frac{mu}{m+M}=\frac{(0.200)(0.750)}{0.200+0.350}=0.278 m/s

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement describes how work and power are similar?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

C: You must know force and distance to calculate both.

Explanation:

A force is said to have done work, when it has succeeded in causing displacement in an object from its starting point.

Power can be defined as the rate of doing work.

The work can be calculated using the following formula:

Work done = Force × Displacement

The power can be calculated using the following formula:

Power = Work \ Time

In order to calculate the work and power, the force and distance should be known. The force and distance will help in the calculating the work, which will in turn help in the calculation of the power of the object.

Hence, the answer is you must know force and distance to calculate both.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

<h2>59.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 70 × 0.85

We have the final answer as

<h3>59.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
