A 13.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 110-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay s

ticks to the block. After impact, the block slides 7.50 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between block and surface is 0.650, what was the speed of the clay immediately before impact?

Answer:

v_{ic}=92.53 m/s

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

<u>Conservation of momentum</u>

p_{i}=p_{f}

m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V (1)

  • m(c) is the mass of stick clay
  • m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
  • v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
  • V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

<u>Conservation of total energy</u>

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

\Delta E=W

\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=F_{friction}*d

\frac{1}{2}(m_{c}+m_{w})V^{2}=\mu (m_{c}+m_{w})gd

We can find V from this equation:

V=\sqrt{2\mu gd}=\sqrt{2*0.65*9.81*7.5}=9.78 m/s

Now, let's put V into the equation (1) and find v(ic)

v_{ic}=\frac{(m_{c}+m_{w})V}{m_{c}}=\frac{123*9.78}{13}=92.53 m/s

I hope it helps you!

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

A squirrel is trying to locate some nuts he buried for the winter. He moves 4.3 m to the right of a stone and dogs unsuccessfull
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The total displacement from the starting point is 1.5 m.

Explanation:

You need to sum and substract, depending on the movement (to the right, sum; to the left, substract).

First, it moves 4.3 m right and return 1.1 m. So the new distance from the starting point is 3.2 m.

Second, it moves 6.3 m right, so the new distance is 9.5 m.

Finally it moves 8 m to the left, so 9.5 m - 8 m= 1.5 m.

Summarizing, at the end the squirrel is 1.5 m from its starting point.
