Answer:
(a) -472.305 J
(b) 1 m
Explanation:
(a)
Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is given by
Initial kinetic energy is 
Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero
Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence
0-472.305 J=-472.305 J
(b)
From fundamental kinematic equation
Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance
Making s the subject we obtain
but a=\mu g hence
Yes, friction eventually slows down objects, unless you are in space. Hope this helps!
Given that,
Mass of the stone, m = 400 g = 0.4 kg
Initial speed, u = 20 m/s
It is climbed to a height of 12 m.
To find,
The work done by the resistance force.
Solution,
Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated by using the conservation of energy.
Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. It can be given as follows :
So, the required work done is 32.99 J.
The object’s mass will be 600 grams on the moon. If you meant it’s weight, it will be 1/6 that of on Earth while on the moon.
