(a) A 15.0 kg block is released from rest at point A in the figure below. The track is frictionless except for the portion betwe

en points B and C, which has a length of 6.00 m. The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2,150 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.200 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between points B and C.
(b) What If? The spring now expands, forcing the block back to the left. Does the block reach point B?

If the block does reach point B, how far up the curved portion of the track does it reach, and if it does not, how far short of point B does the block come to a stop? (Enter your answer in m.)

Answer:

(a) coefficient of friction = 0.451

This was calculated by the application of energy conservation principle (the total sum of energy in a closed system is conserved)

(b) No, it comes to a stop 5.35m short of point B. This is so because the spring on expanding only does a work of 43 J on the block which is not enough to meet up the workdone of 398 J against friction.

Explanation:

The detailed step by step solution to this problems can be found in the attachment below. The solution for part (a) was divided into two: the motion of the body from point A to point B and from point B to point C. The total energy in the system is gotten from the initial gravitational potential energy. This energy becomes transformed into the work done against friction and the work done in compression the spring. A work of 398J was done in overcoming friction over a distance of 6.00m. The energy used in doing so is lost as friction is not a conservative force. This leaves only 43J of energy which compresses the spring. On expansion the spring does a work of 43J back on the block is only enough to push it over a distance of 0.65m stopping short of 5.35m from point B.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

If an electron moves in a circle of radius 21 cm perpendicular to a B field of 0.4 T, what are the speed of the electron and the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a)

v = 4.048 *10^6 m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =  1.92 * 10^7

Explanation:

As we know

v =  \frac{qBr}{m}

q is the charge on the electron = 3.2 * 10^{-19} C

B is the magnetic field in Tesla = 0.4 T

r is the radius of the circle = 0.21 m

mass of the electrons = 6.64 * 10^{-27} Kg

a)

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = \frac{3.2 * 10^{-19}*0.4*0.21}{6.64 * 10^{-27}} \\v = 4.048 *10^6m/s

b)  

Angular frequency =

\frac{4.048 * 10^6 }{0.21} \\1.92 * 10^7

rewona [7]

Answer:

South = 1.5m

West =4.2m

Explanation:

Kindly see attached a rough draft of the situation

Step one

Given data

From the sketch the direction of the player is along the resultant of the triangle, corresponding to the Hypotenuse

Step two:

Hence for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

sin θ= opp/hyp

sin 20=x/4.5

x=sin 20*4.5

x=0.342*4.5

x= 1.5m

Also, for an opponent to tackle him towards the south, he must be at

cos θ= adj/hyp

cos 20=y/4.5

y=cos 20*4.5

y=0.93*4.5

y= 4.2m
