Answer: a) i) 0 ii) 0  b) i) 0 ii) -25.1 J

Explanation:

a) For the first part, as work is defined as the process through an applied force produces a displacement in the direction of the movement, if the start and the end points are the same (as for a complete circle), this means that there is no displacement, i.e. total work (for any applied force) is 0.

b) Taking only a semicircle from the lowest to the highest point on the path, as tension force is always perpendicular to the displacement, we can conclude that the tension force does no work.

Now, for gravity, the displacement, is just the difference in height between the highest and lowest point, which is equal to twice the length of the string, and is a vector with only a vertical component, as follows:

Δy = y₂ - y₁ (by definition of displacement)

Now, the work done by gravity is just the product of the weight of  the ball, times the vertical displacement (as the work done by gravity is independent of the trajectory) , as follows :

W = m. g. (y₂-y₁) = 0.8 Kg. 9.8 m/s². (-2. 1.6 m) = -25.1 J

(The minus sign is due to gravity and the displacement point in opposite directions, in this case we take as positive the downward direction).

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

Which equation can be used to model simple harmonic motion
mixer [17]

Answer:x(t)= Acos(wt)

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd law,a particle of mass m acted on by a force is given by:Fs=-kx

Where x is displacement from equilibrium

K = spring constant

Therefore X(t) = Acos(2pit/T)

X(t)= Acos(wt)
