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.

Fe₂O3<br> + co<br> →<br> Fe3O4 + CO₂
Goryan [66]

Explanation:

                    Fe₂O₃  + CO  → Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

Balancing the equation above, we can derive simple mathematical equations that are very easy to solve.

             aFe₂O₃  + bCO  → cFe₃O₄ + dCO₂

a,b,c and d are the coefficients needed to balance the equation above;

  Conserving Fe; 2a = 3c

                       O: 3a + b = 4c + 2d

                        C: b = d

 let a = 1;

      c = \frac{2}{3}

      Since b = d

                  3a + d = 4c + 2d

                    3a = 4c + 2d - d

                     3a = 4c + d

           a = 1, c = \frac{2}{3}

                    3 = 4 x \frac{2}{3}  +  d

                   d = \frac{1}{3}

                    b = \frac{1}{3}

multiplying a, b, c and d by 3:

            a = 3    b = 1     c = 2   and d = 1

                  3Fe₂O₃  + CO  → 2Fe₃O₄ + CO₂

A cow wanders 30 m North, turns 22 degrees right of its original path, and wanders another 40 m. Find its total displacement.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:OB=58.3m

Explanation:

So here cow wanders 30m in north and turns 22 degrees in right side and moves 40m more, as shown in figure given.

now take the starting point as a origin such that cow moves in x-y co-ordinate axis.

As shown in figure length OA is the length when cow moves in north or y direction. Later she takes 22 degrees turn to right and moves 40m more.

So the final displacement is the length of cow from the origin that is length OB.

now co-ordinates of B are [40cos22°,40sin22°+30] i.e [37.084,44.984]

now displacement of cow= length of OB

                                           = \sqrt{[37.084]^{2}+[44.984]^{2}  }

                                           =\sqrt{3398.78}

                                     OB =58.3

What is the speed of the animal from 0-20s? <br><br> 50 m/s<br> 0.4 m/s<br> 20 m/s<br> 2.5 m/s
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.

In the time interval 0-20 s, we have

d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m

t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{50 m}{20 s}=2.5 m/s
