Answer:

27.22 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of clay before impact is u.

the speed of clay and target is v after impact.

use conservation of momentum

momentum before impact  momentum after impact

mass of clay x u = (mass of clay + mass of target) x v

100 x u = (100 + 500) x v

u = 6 v .....(1)

distance, s = 2.1 m

μ = 0.5

final velocity is zero. use third equation of motion

v'² = v² + 2as

0 = v² - 2 x μ x g x s

v² = 2 x 0.5 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 20.58

v = 4.54 m/s

so by equation (1)

u = 6 x 4.54 = 27.22 m/s

thus, the speed of clay before impact is 27.22 m/s.

A block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed. Which of the following statements is correct? Grou
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:The net force on the block is zero.

Explanation:

Given

Block is being pulled upward along an inclined surface at a constant speed

As speed is constant and moved in a straight line along the plane therefore its velocity is also constant .

and change in velocity is equal to acceleration therefore acceleration is zero here i.e. net force is zero acting on the body.
