1) Final kinetic energy of the cart: B) 50 J

2) Final speed of the cart: C) 3.2 m/s

3) Height reached along the ramp: A) 0.5 m

Explanation:

We can solve this part of the problem by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the object itself. Mathematically:

$W=K_f - K_i$

where

W is the work done

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy

In this problem, the work done on the cart is

W = 50 J

And assuming it starts from rest, its initial kinetic energy is zero:

$K_i = 0$

Therefore, the final kinetic energy is:

$K_f = K_i + W=0+50=50 J$

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion; it is calculated as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the cart in this problem, we have:

K = 50 J is its final kinetic energy

m = 10 kg is the cart

Therefore, solving the formula for v, we find its speed:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(50)}{10}}=3.2 m/s$

We can think this problem in terms of conservation of energy. In fact, as the cart rolls up the ramp, its kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy, which is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the cart

When the cart reaches the maximum height, all the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy, so we can write:

$K=PE\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

Re-arranging,

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}$

And since we know the initial speed of the cart along the ramp,

v = 3.2 m/s

we can find the maximum height reached along the ramp:

$h=\frac{3.2^2}{2(9.8)}=0.5 m$

A block of aluminum has a volume of 15.0 ml and a mass of 50.5 g. the density is ___________. group of answer choices

VARVARA [1.3K]

A block of aluminum has a volume of 15.0 ml and a mass of 50.5 g. the density is: 3.36 g/ml

To solve this problem the density formula and the procedure that we have to use is:

d = m/v

Where:

v= volume
d= density
m= mass

Information about the problem:

v= 15.0 ml
m= 50.5 g
d = ?

Applying the density formula we get:

d = m/v

d = 50.5 g/15.0 ml

d= 3.36 g/ml

<h3>What is density?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the ratio of the body mass to the volume it occupies.

What is volume?

It is the space occupied by a body, it is calculated by multiplying its dimensions, for example: length, height and width.

. Suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the Moon is 1.00 × 104 kg. The thrust of its engin

Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) The module's acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the Moon will be $1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}$

b) Then we can say that a thrust of $3*10^{4} N$ won't be able to lift off the module from the Earth because it's smaller than the module's weight ( $9.8 *10^{4} N$ ).

Explanation:

a) During a vertical takeoff, the sum of the forces in the vertical axis will be equal to mass times the module's acceleration. In this this case, the thrust of the module's engines and the total module's weight are the only vertical forces. (In the Moon, the module's weight will be equal to its mass times the Moon's gravity acceleration)

$T-(m*g)=m*a$

Where:

$T=$ thrust $=3 *10^{4} N$

$m=$ module's mass $=1 *10^{4} N$

$g=$ moon's gravity acceleration $=1.623 \frac{m}{s^2}$

$a=$ module's acceleration during takeoff

Then, we can find the acceleration like this:

$a=\frac{T}{m} -g=\frac{3*{10}^4 N}{1*{10}^4 kg}-1.623\frac{m}{s^2}$

$a=1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}$

The module's acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the Moon will be $1.377 \frac{m}{s^2}$

b) To takeoff, the module's engines must generate a thrust bigger than the module's weight, which will be its mass times the Earth's gravity acceleration.

$weight=m*g=(1*{10}^4 kg)*(9.8 \frac{m}{s^2})=9.8 *10^{4} N$

Then we can say that a thrust of $3*10^{4} N$ won't be able to lift off the module from the Earth because it's smaller than the module's weight ( $9.8 *10^{4} N$ ).

Why are renewable energy resources going to be important in our future

marshall27 [118]

Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
I hope this helped! :-)

What does stressing an Equilibrium system mean? How is stress Applied?

horsena [70]

Stressing an equilibrium simply means that the physical properties in which already exists are balanced. Stress can be applied by either changing the pressure or the volume or temperature.
