A crate with a mass of 110 kg glides through a space station with a speed of 4.0 m/s. An astronaut speeds it up by pushing on it

from behind with a force of 190 N, continually pushing with this force through a distance of 8 m. The astronaut moves around to the front of the crate and slows the crate down by pushing backwards with a force of 170 N, backing up through a distance of 6 m. After these two maneuvers, what is the speed of the crate?

Answer:

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:  </u>

The crate has mass m = 110 kg and an initial speed vi = 4 m/s.  

<u>Solution  </u>

We are asked to determine the final speed of the crate. We could apply the steps for energy principle update form as next  

Ef=Ei+W                                                 (1)

Where Ef and Ei are the find and initial energies of the crate (system) respectively. While W is the work done by the astronaut (surrounding).  

The system has two kinds of energy, the kinetic energy which associated with its motion and the rest energy where it has zero speed. The summation of both energies called the particle energy. So, equation (1) will be in the form  

(Kf + mc^2) = (KJ+ mc^2)                       (2)  

Where m is the mass of crate, c is the speed of light which equals 3 x 10^8 m/s and the term mc^2 represents the energy at rest and the term K is the kinetic energy.  

In this case, the rest energy doesn't change so we can cancel the rest energy in both sides and substitute with the approximate expression of the kinetic energy of the crate at low speeds where K = 1/2 mv^2 and equation (2) will be in the form

(1/2mvf^2+mc^2)=(1/2mvi^2 +mc^2)+W

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W                              (3)

Now we want to calculate the work done on the crate to complete our calculations. Work is the amount of energy transfer between a source of an applied force and the object that experiences this force and equals the force times the displacement of the object. Therefore, the total work done will be given by  

W = FΔr                                                      (4)  

Where F is the force applied by the astronaut and equals 190 N and Δr is the displacement of the crate and equals 6 m. Now we can plug our values for F and Δr to get the work done by the astronaut  

W = F Δr= (190N)(6 m) = 1140 J  

Now we can plug our values for vi, m and W into equation (3) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi^2+W

vf=5.82 m/s

This is the final speed of the first push when the astronaut applies a positive work done. Then, in the second push, he applies a negative work done on the crate to slow down its speed. Hence, in this case, we could consider the initial speed of the second process to be the final speed of the first process. So,  

vi' = vf

In this case, we will apply equation (3) for the second process to be in the

1/2mvf^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'                                 (3*)

The force in the second process is F = 170 N and the displacement is 4 m. The force and the displacement are in the opposite direction, hence the work done is negative and will be calculated by  

W'= —F Δr = —(170N)(4 m)= —680J

Now we can plug our values for vi' , m and W' into equation (3*) to get the final speed of the crate  

1/2mvf'^2=1/2mvi'^2+W'

  vf'=4.50 m/s

The final speed of the crate after the astronaut push to slow it down is 4.50 m/s

Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength  of her driving nails

340 m/s = (1Hz)\times  \lambda

\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}

λ = 1360 m

sveta [45]

The amount of force exerted is 77.7N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Work done, W = 350J

Distance, x = 4.5m

Force, F = ?

We know,

Work = force X distance

350 = F X 4.5m

F = 77.7N

Therefore, the amount of force exerted is 77.7N

Ainat [17]
Answer: fourth option 1.2 × 10³ joules

Explanation:

1) kinetic energy is calculated as the half of the product of the mass times the square of the speed:

=> KE = (1/2) m × (v)²

2) you know the mass after the collision and the speed so you have all the data fo find the numerical value of the expression for KE:

m = m1 + m2 = 200 kg + 250 kg = 450 kg

KE = (1/2) × 450 kg × (2.3 m/s)²  = 1,190.25 joules ≈ 1200 joules = 1.2 × 10³ joules, which is the last option of the list.
