Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J

A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (F
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Part a)

x = 0.4 m

Part b)

v_i = 11.7 m/s

Part c)

Speed is more than the required speed so it will reach the top

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that there is no frictional force while block is moving on horizontal plane

so we can use energy conservation on the block

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

\frac{1}{2}0.500(12^2) = \frac{1}{2}(450)x^2

x = 0.4 m

Part b)

If the track has average frictional force of 7 N then work done by friction while block slides up is given as

W_f = -7( \pi R)

W_f = -7(\pi \times 1.00)

W_f = -22 J

work done against gravity is given as

W_g = - mg(2R)

W_g = -(0.500)(9.8)(2\times 1)

W_g = -9.8 J

Now by work energy equation we have

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

\frac{1}{2}0.5(12^2) - 9.8 - 22 = \frac{1}{2}(0.5)v_f^2

v_f = 4.1 m/s

Part c)

now minimum speed required at the top is such that the normal force must be zero

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = 3.13 m/s

so here we got speed more than the required speed so it will reach the top

Which one of the following statements is true concerning the magnitude of the electric field at a point in space? It is a measur
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

It is a measure of the electric force per unit charge on a test charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field is defined as the force per charge on the test charge.

Since we define electric field as the force per charge, it will have the units of  force divided by the unit of charge. This implies that the SI unit of electric field is given as Newton/Coulomb (N/C).
