You apply a horizontal force of 200N against a 50kg couch. The force of friction between the couch and the floor is 180N. If the

couch is pushed 2 metres, the kinetic energy gained by the couch is: a) 0 b) 40 J c) 100 J d) 360 J e) 400 J

Answer:

The kinetic energy gained is 40[J]

Explanation:

This is a problem that applies the work and energy conservation. We must analyze the initial and final positions as well as the forces that act on the couch during displacement.

The working and energy conservation theorem says:

E_{k1} + W_{1-2}= E_{k2}

The above equation tells us that kinetic energy plus the work done to move an object from one position to another will be equal to kinetic energy in the last position.

The kinetic energy in the initial position is zero since the couch is at rest, Ek1=0

The work will be given by the force that drives the couch multiplied by the distance, and the friction force that acts in the opposite direction to the displacement.

0+(200-180)*2= Ek2\\Ek2=20*2= 40 [J]

A bat, flying toward the east at 2.0 m/s, emits a shriek that is reflected back to it from a wall that is 20.0 m in front of the
faust18 [17]

Answer:

t = S / V     where S is distance sound travels and V the speed of sound

S = 20 + 20 - v t      where v is speed of bat and t time to hear echo

S = 40 - v t

t = (40 - S) / v = (40 - V t) / v      substituting S from 1st equation

v t + V t = 40

t = 40 / (v + V) = 40 / (340 + 2) = .117 sec = 117 ms

A race car reaches the finish line and the driver slows down to come to a stop. If it takes the car 10 seconds to stop at a cons
boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s
