Answer:
v₁ = 0.375 m / s
, x = 0.335 m
Explanation:
Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.
We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.
initial moment. Right at the start of the movement
p₀ = m v₀ + 0
final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium
= (m + M) v₁
how the forces are internal
p₀ =p_{f}
m v₀ = (m + M) v₁
v₁ = m /m+M v₀
let's calculate
v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8) 3
v₁ = 0.375 m / s
Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force
Y axis
N - W = 0
N = W
N = m g
where m is the mass of the block
the friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
fr = μ m g
We apply Newton's second law to slab
X axis
fr = M a
where M is the mass of the slab
μ m g = M a
a = μ g m / M
let's calculate
a = 0.15 9.8 0.4 / 2.8
a = 0.21 m / s²
With kinematics we can find the position
v²= v₀²+2 a x
as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero
v² = 2 a x
x = v2 / 2a
let's calculate
x = 0.375²/2 0.21
x = 0.335 m
