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

A solar cell generates a potential difference of 0.25 V when a 550 Ω resistor is connected across it, and a potential difference

Andre45 [30]

a) $400 \Omega$

b) 0.43 V

c) 0.44 %

Explanation:

a)

For a battery with internal resistance, the relationship between emf of the battery and the terminal voltage (the voltage provided) is

$V=E-Ir$ (1)

where

V is the terminal voltage

E is the emf of the battery

I is the current

r is the internal resistance

In this problem, we have two situations:

1) when $R_1=550 \Omega$ , $V_1=0.25 V$

Using Ohm's Law, the current is:

$I_1=\frac{V_1}{R_1}=\frac{0.25}{550}=4.5\cdot 10^{-4} A$

2) when $R_2=1000 \Omega$ , $V_2=0.31 V$

Using Ohm's Law, the current is:

$I_2=\frac{V_2}{R_2}=\frac{0.31}{1000}=3.1\cdot 10^{-4} A$

Now we can rewrite eq.(1) in two forms:

$V_1 = E-I_1 r$

$V_2=E-I_2 r$

And we can solve this system of equations to find r, the internal resistance. We do it by substracting eq.(2) from eq(1), we find:

$V_1-V_2=r(I_2-I_1)\\r=\frac{V_1-V_2}{I_2-I_1}=\frac{0.25-0.31}{3.1\cdot 10^{-4}-4.5\cdot 10^{-4}}=400 \Omega$

b)

To find the electromotive force (emf) of the solar cell, we simply use the equation used in part a)

$V=E-Ir$

where

V is the terminal voltage

E is the emf of the battery

I is the current

r is the internal resistance

Using the first set of data,

$V=0.25 V$ is the voltage

$I=4.5\cdot 10^{-4}A$ is the current

$r=400\Omega$ is the internal resistance

Solving for E,

$E=V+Ir=0.25+(4.5\cdot 10^{-4})(400)=0.43 V$

c)

In this part, we are told that the area of the cell is

$A=4.0 cm^2$

While the intensity of incoming radiation (the energy received per unit area) is

$Int.=5.5 mW/cm^2$

This means that the power of the incoming radiation is:

$P=Int.\cdot A=(5.5)(4.0)=22 mW = 0.022 W$

This is the power in input to the resistor.

The power in output to the resistor can be found by using

$P'=I^2R$

where:

$R=1000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$I=3.1\cdot 10^{-4} A$ is the current on the resistor (found in part A)

Susbtituting,

$P'=(3.1\cdot 10^{-4})^2(1000)=9.61\cdot 10^{-5} W$

Therefore, the efficiency of the cell in converting light energy to thermal energy is:

$\epsilon = \frac{P'}{P}\cdot 100 = \frac{9.6\cdot 10^{-5}}{0.022}=0.0044\cdot 100 = 0.44\%$

1. A runner has an initial speed of 2 [m/s] and slowly speeds up with a constant acceleration of

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Final Velocity = 4.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;. Initial velocity; u = 2 m/s

Constant Acceleration; a = 0.1 m/s²

Distance; s = 100 m

To find the final velocity(v), we will use one of Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v² = 2² + 2(0.1 × 100)

v² = 4 + 20

v² = 24

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s
