A 1.10-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a sp

eed of vi = 2.60 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e).
The right end of a horizontal spring labeled k is attached to a wall. Five images show five configurations as a block labeled m approaches, compresses, and then moves away from the spring.
In figure a, the block is to the left of the spring, and an arrow above the block points to the right.
In figure b, the block is just touching the uncompressed spring, and an arrow labeled vector vi above the block points to the right.
In figure c, the block has compressed the spring by a distance d, and a label indicates vector vf = 0.
In figure d, the block is just touching the uncompressed spring, and an arrow labeled vector v above the block points to the left.
In figure e, the block is a distance D away from the spring, and a label indicates vector v = 0.

Answer:

(a) Approximately 0.335\; \rm m.

(b) Approximately 1.86\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

(c) Approximately 0.707\; \rm m.

(d) Approximately 0.228\; \rm m.

Explanation:

  • v_i denotes the velocity of the object in the first diagram right before it came into contact with the spring.
  • Let m denote the mass of the block.
  • Let \mu denote the constant of kinetic friction between the object and the surface.
  • Let g denote the constant of gravitational acceleration.
  • Let k denote the spring constant of this spring.
<h3>(a)</h3>

Consider the conversion of energy in this object-spring system.

First diagram: Right before the object came into contact with the spring, the object carries kinetic energy \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot {v_{i}}^2.

Second diagram: As the object moves towards the position in the third diagram, the spring gains elastic potential energy. At the same time, the object loses energy due to friction.

Third diagram: After the velocity of the object becomes zero, it has moved a distance of D and compressed the spring by the same distance.

  • Energy lost to friction: \underbrace{(\mu \cdot m \cdot g)}_{\text{friction}} \cdot D.
  • Elastic potential energy that the spring has gained: \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\,k\, D^2.

The sum of these two energies should match the initial kinetic energy of the object (before it comes into contact with the spring.) That is:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot {v_{i}}^{2} = (\mu\cdot m \cdot g) \cdot D + \frac{1}{2}\, k \cdot D^2.

Assume that g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In the equation above, all symbols other than D have known values:

  • m =1.10\; \rm kg.
  • v_i = 2.60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.
  • \mu = 0.250.
  • g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.
  • k = 50.0\; \rm N \cdot m^{-1}.

Substitute in the known values to obtain an equation for D (where the unit of D\! is m.)

3.178 = 2.69775\, D + 25\, D^2.

2.69775\, D + 25\, D^2 + 3.178 = 0.

Simplify and solve for D. Note that D > 0 because the energy lost to friction should be greater than zero.

D \approx 0.335\; \rm m.

<h3>(b)</h3>

The energy of the object-spring system in the third diagram is the same as the elastic potential energy of the spring:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\,k\, D^2 \approx 2.81\; \rm J.

As the object moves to the left, part of that energy will be lost to friction:

(\mu \cdot m \cdot g) \, D \approx 0.905\; \rm J.

The rest will become the kinetic energy of that block by the time the block reaches the position in the fourth diagram:

2.81\; \rm J - 0.905\; \rm J \approx 1.91\; \rm J.

Calculate the velocity corresponding to that kinetic energy:

\displaystyle v =\sqrt{\frac{2\, (\text{Kinetic Energy})}{m}} \approx 1.86\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

<h3>(c)</h3>

As the object moves from the position in the fourth diagram to the position in the fifth, all its kinetic energy (1.91\; \rm J) would be lost to friction.

How far would the object need to move on the surface to lose that much energy to friction? Again, the size of the friction force is \mu \cdot m \cdot g.

\displaystyle (\text{Distance Travelled}) = \frac{\text{(Work Done by friction)}}{\text{(Size of the Friction Force)}} \approx0.707\; \rm m.

<h3>(d)</h3>

Similar to (a), solving (d) involves another quadratic equation about D.

Left-hand side of the equation: kinetic energy of the object (as in the fourth diagram,) 1.91\; \rm J.

Right-hand side of the equation: energy lost to friction, plus the gain in the elastic potential energy of the spring.

\displaystyle {1.91\; \rm J} \approx (\mu\cdot m \cdot g) \cdot D + \frac{1}{2}\, k \cdot D^2.

25\, D^2 + 2.69775\, D - 1.90811\approx 0.

Again, D > 0 because the energy lost to friction is greater than zero.

D \approx 0.228\; \rm m.

A war wolf is a device used during the middle ages to assault fortifications with large rocks. A simple trebuchet is constructed
Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object m_1=52 kg

distance of m_1 from the axle r_1=14 cm

mass of rock m_2=123 gm

Length of rod =4.1 m

distance of m_2 from axle r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m

Net torque acting is

T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2

T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g

T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8

T_{net}=66.57 N-m

Work done by T_{net} is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}

Where \theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}

v= velocity\ at\ launch

66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}

v^2=66.57\times \pi

v=\sqrt{1700.511}

v=41.23 m/s

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s

Suppose that a worker in Freedonia can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Sylvania can
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a 30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat.

Explanation:

Initially freedonia has 5 workers producing 30 units of of corn (6 units per worker) and another 5 workers producing 10 units of wheat (2 units per worker)

With the trade agreed between the two countries Freedonia can have all of it's 10 workers producing corn, thereby producing 60 units of corn

30 of these are traded for 30 units of wheat therefore allowing the country to consume 30 units of each product.

At 19 ºC a volume of air takes us 9.0 mL in an expandable container. What is its volume after it is heated up to 50. ºC?
Katena32 [7]
According to Charles law, we know, at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature. 
So, <span>V/T = constant 
</span>
V₁/t₁ = V₂/t₂
V₁t₂ = V₂t₁

Here, we have: V₁ = 9 mL
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 50+272 = 323 K
T₁ = 19+273 = 292 K

Substitute their values into the expression:
9 × 323 = V₂ × 292
V₂ = 2907 / 292
V₂ = 9.95
After rounding-off to unit place value, it would be equal to 10 mL

So, In short Option C would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!
