Answer:

$a = -1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $s = 16.318\,m$ , $t = 4.079\,s$

Explanation:

The equations of equilibrium for the rock are:

$\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a$

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0$

After some algebraic handling, the following expression is found:

$-\mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g = m \cdot a$

$-\mu_{k}\cdot g = a$

Deceleration experimented by the rock is:

$a = - (0.2)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$a = -1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The distance travelled by the rock before stopping is:

$s = \frac{(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(8\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2\cdot (-1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}$

$s = 16.318\,m$

And the time is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{m}{s}-8\,\frac{m}{s}}{(-1.961\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )}$

$t = 4.079\,s$

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answers and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 20.0-kg rock is sliding on a rough, horizontal surface at 8.00 m/s and eventually stops due to friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the surface is 0.200

What average power is produced by friction as the rock stops?

GIven Information:

Mass of rock = m = 20 kg

Initial speed of rock = vi = 8 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.200

Required Information:

Average power produced due to friction = ?

Answer:

Average power produced due to friction = 156.1 Watts

Explanation:

As we know the power is rate of doing work,

P = W/t

work-energy theorem relates work done and kinetic energy as

W = KE = ½m(vf² - vi²

W = ½*20*(0 -8²)

W = -640 J

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

friction force is given by,

F = -μmg

relate the two equations

ma = -μmg

mass cancels out

a = -μg

a = -0.200*9.8

a = -1.96 m/s²

The negative sign indicates deceleration

From the kinematics equation

t = (vf - vi)/a

t = (0 - 8)/-1.96

t = -8/-1.96

t = 4.1 seconds

Therefore, the power produced to the friction is

P = 640/4.1

P = 156.1 Watts

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bu

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$ M

Explanation:

To apply the concept of <u>angular momentum conservation</u>, there should be no external torque before and after

As the <u>asteroid is travelling directly towards the center of the Earth</u>, after impact ,it <u>does not impose any torque on earth's rotation,</u> So angular momentum of earth is conserved

⇒ $I_{1} \times W_{1} =I_{2} \times W_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is the moment of interia of earth before impact
$W_{1}$ is the angular velocity of earth about an axis passing through the center of earth before impact
$I_{2}$ is moment of interia of earth and asteroid system
$W_{2}$ is the angular velocity of earth and asteroid system about the same axis

let $W_{1}=W$

since $\text{Time period of rotation}∝$ $\frac{1}{\text{Angular velocity}}$

⇒ if time period is to increase by 25%, which is $\frac{5}{4}$ times, the angular velocity decreases 25% which is $\frac{4}{5}$ times

therefore $W_{1}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1}$

$I_{1}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ (moment of inertia of solid sphere)

where M is mass of earth

R is radius of earth

$I_{2}=\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}+M_{1}\times R^{2}$

(As given asteroid is very small compared to earth, we assume it be a particle compared to earth, therefore by parallel axis theorem we find its moment of inertia with respect to axis)

where $M_{1}$ is mass of asteroid

⇒ $\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2} \times W_{1}=}(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ $+$ $M_{1}\times R^{2})\times(\frac{4}{5} \times W_{1})$

$\frac{1}{2} \times M\times R^{2}$ = $(\frac{2}{5} \times M\times R^{2}$ + $M_{1}\times R^{2})$

$M_{1}\times R^{2}=$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M\times R^{2}$

⇒ $M_{1}=}$ $\frac{1}{10} \times M$

A charge feels a 7.89 x 10-7 N force when it moves 2090 m/s at a 29.4° angle to a 4.23 x 10-3 T magnetic field. What is the amou

tamaranim1 [39]

We have that the amount of the charge q is

$q=1.8*10^{-7}$

From the Question we are told that

Force $F=7.89 x*10^{-7}$

Velocity $V=2090m/s$

Angle $\theta=29.4$

Magnetic field $B=4.23 * 10^{-3} T$

Generally, the equation for Force F is mathematically given by

$F=qVBsin\theta\\\\q=\frac{F}{VBsin\theta}$

$q=\frac{7.89 x*10^{-7}}{4.23 * 10^{-3} T*sin29.4*2090m/s}$

$q=1.8*10^{-7}$

In conclusion

The amount of the charge q is

$q=1.8*10^{-7}$

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
