A small block with mass 0.0400 kg is moving in the xy-plane. The net force on the block is described by the potentialenergy func

tion U(x,y) = (6.00 J/m2 )x 2 - (3.75 J/m3 )y 3 . What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2 ) of the block when it is at the point x = 0.40 m, y = 0.56 m?

Answer:

A= 148.92  m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

m= 0.04 kg

Now force in the x-direction

Fx= - dU/dx

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dx= 12 x

When x=0.4 m

dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8

So we can say that

Fx= - 4.8 N

From Newtons law

F= m a

- 4.8 = 0.04 x a

a = -120 m/s²

Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²

In y -direction

F= - dU/dy

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²

When y = 0.56 m

dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56

dU/dy = - 3.52

So we can say that force in y -direction

F= 3.52 N

F= m a'

3.52 = 0.04 x a'

a'=88.2 m/s²

acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²

The resultant acceleration

A=\sqrt{a^2+a'^2}

A=\sqrt{120^2+88.2^2}

A= 148.92  m/s²

An object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror. where can be the image located if the focal length is 40 cm from the mi
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Image will form at distance 22.22 cm behind the mirror

Explanation:

As we know that the mirror formula is given as

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

now we know that

object distance from mirror is

d_o = -50 cm

Focal length of the mirror is given as

f = 40 cm

now we have

\frac{1}{-50} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{40}

\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{40}

d_i = 22.22 cm

__________ are combating competitive pressures by providing better value with private-label merchandise; adding new value-added
Neko [114]

Answer:

convinience store

Explanation:

convenience store are more like retail store providing everyday goods.

since this kind of store is usually small, maybe not as big as a department store, there is a growing number of such stores creating competitive pressures as such many are providing better value with private-label merchandise (more like re-branding or personalizing the products in the store)

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>
