Answer:

The speed of rabbit is 5.73 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of rabbit = 5.0 kg

Mass of Irish setter = 12 kg

Speed of setter = 3.7 m/s

Both have the same kinetic energy.

We need to calculate the speed of rabbit

Using formula of kinetic energy

\dfrac{1}{2}m_{r}v^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{setter}v^2

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.0\times v^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times12\times(3.7)^2

82.14=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.0\times v^2

v^2=\dfrac{2\times82.14}{5.0}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times82.14}{5.0}}

v=5.73\ m/s

Hence, The speed of rabbit is 5.73 m/s.

A 2.0 kg block is released from rest at the top of a curved incline in the shape of a quarter of a circle of radius R = 3.0 m. T
Zigmanuir [339]

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>

<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)

<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J

Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :

<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>

58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²

117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²

<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))

<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s

A block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.32 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring and co
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given time is 1 / 4 of the time period

So Time period  of oscillation.

= 4 x .4 =1.6 s

When the block reaches back its original position when it came in contact with the spring for the first time , the block and the spring will have maximum

velocity. After that spring starts unstretching , reducing its speed , so block loses contact as its velocity is not reduced .

So required velocity is the maximum velocity of the block while remaining in contact with the spring.

v ( max ) = w A = 1.32  m /s.
