Answer:

107.58 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

mass of the stick (M₁)= 9 g = 0.009 kg

mass of the block (M₂)= 90 g = 0.09 kg

total mass (M₁+M₂) = 99 g = 0.099 kg

distance (s) = 7.5 m

coefficient of friction (Uk) = 0.650

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

apply the equation below

change in kinetic energy = net work done

final kinetic energy(K₂) - final kinetic energy(K₁) = Uk x force(F) x distance(s)

final kinetic energy is zero because the clay and the wood comes to a stop

kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x v^{2} and

force = m x g so the equation now becomes

0.5 x m x v^{2} = Uk x m x g x s

0.5 x 0.099 x v^{2} = 0.650 x 0.099 x 9.8 x 7.5

V = 9.78 m/s

from the conservation of momentum

M₁ V₁ + M₂ V₂ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

V₂  is zero since the block is initially at rest, so our equation becomes

M₁ V₁ = (M₁ + M₂ ) V

0.009 x V₁ = 0.099 x 9.78

V₁ = 107.58 m/s

the speed of the clay before impact is 107.58 m/s

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high

A sailboat weighing 980 lb with its occupants is running downwind at 8 mi/h when its spinnaker is raised to increase its speed.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

78.498N

Explanation:

The Net force provided by the spinnaker can be obtained from Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}................(1)

where m is the mass, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time interval for which the force acted.

Given;

m =980lb

v = 12mi/h

u =8mi/hr

t = 10s.

It is important to convert all quantities to their SI units where necessary, so we do that as follows;

1lb = 0.45kg,

hence 980lb = 980 x 0.45kg = 441kg.

1mile = 1609.34m

1hour = 3600s,

therefore;

8mi/h=\frac{8*1609.34m}{3600s}=3.58m/s

12mi/h=\frac{12*1609.34m}{3600s}=5.36m/s

Substituting all values into equation (1), we obtain the following;

F=\frac{441(5.36-3.58)}{10}\\F=\frac{441*1.78}{10}\\F=\frac{784.98}{10}\\F=78.498N

I'm stuck on number 4... help please?
Paha777 [63]

Average <u>speed</u> = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) =
 
                                     (5m)  /  (15 sec) =

                                     (5/15) (m/s)  =  <em>1/3 m/s</em> .

Average <u>velocity</u> = 

         (displacement) / (time spent traveling)  in the direction of the displacement

Average velocity =  (5m) / (15 sec)  left =

                           (5/15) / (m/sec)  left  =

                               <em>1/3  m/s  left</em>.

A number without a direction is a speed, not a velocity.
