Please help.: Sliding from left to right in a straight line on a horizontal steel surface, an aluminum block weighing 20 newtons

is acted on by a 2.4 newton friction force. The block will be brought to rest by the friction force in a distance of 10 meters. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block as it is brought to rest by the friction force. (Show all work)

Mass of the block = 2/g = 2/9.8 =0.204 kg. 

Frictional force = mass * acceleration 

a = F/ m where F is the frictional force = 2.4 

a = 2.4/ 0.204 = 11.76 m/s^2

Answer:

-1.176 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

weight of aluminium block is w = 20.0 N

frictional force, f = 2.4 N

final velocity, v = 0

distance covered, d = 10 m

From Newton's second equation of motion,

F = ma

where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

mass of the block, m g = 20.0 N

m = 2.04 kg

The block is brought to rest by friction force:

f =- m a

⇒ 2.4 N = -(2.04 kg)(a)

⇒a = -1.176 m/s²

It took 1700 J of work to stretch a spring from its natural length of 2m to a length of 5m. Find the spring's force constant.
Alenkasestr [34]
The work to stretch a spring from its rest position is

               (1/2) (spring constant) (distance of the stretch)²

           E = 1/2 k x² .

You said it takes 1700 joules to stretch the spring 3 meters from its rest position, so we can write

                 1700 joules  =  1/2 k (3m)²

1 joule = 1 newton-meter

                 1700 N-m =  1/2 k  (3m)²

Multiply each side by 2:   3400 N-m  =  k · 9m²   

Divide each side by  9m²     k  =  3400 N-m / 9m²

                                                   =  (377 and 7/9)   newton per meter

A project for a science class asks teams of students to build a windmill. The windmill is placed in front of a large floor fan.
shtirl [24]

The answer to your question would be team C, because the lifted the most weight in the shortest time. Team A might have been the fastest team but the also lifted the least amount of weight. And team B lifted a good amount of weight but they also did it the slowest.
