A hand pushes two blocks, A and B, along a frictionless table for a distance d. When the hand starts to push, the blocks are mov

ing with a speed of 2 m/s. Suppose that the work done on block A by the hand during a given displacement is 10 J. Determine the final energy of each block. Mass of A is 4kg, mass of B is 1kg.

  <span>net work = change in kinetic energy 

for Block B, we just have the force from block A acting on it 
F(ab)d= .5(1)vf² - .5(1)(2²) 
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2 

Block A, we have the force from the hand going in one direction and the force of block B on A going the opposite direction 

10-F(ba)d = .5(4)vf² - .5(4)(2²) 
10-F(ba)d = 2vf² - 8 
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf² 

now we have two equations: 
F(ba)d = 18 - 2vf² 
F(ab)d= .5vf² - 2 

since the magnitude of F(ba) and F(ab) is the same, substitute and find vf (I already took into account the direction when solving for F(ab) 

10-.5vf² + 2 = 2vf² - 8 
12 - .5vf² = 2vf² - 8 
20 = 2.5vf² 
vf² = 8 

they both will have the same velocity 
KE of block A= .5(4)(2.828²) = 16 J 
KE of block B=.5(1)(2.828²) = 4 J</span>

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.
