A horizontal spring with spring constant 200N/m is compressed by 15cm and used to launch a 2kg box across a frictionless horizon

tal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is 0.2. Use work and energy to find how far the box slides across the rough surface before stopping.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant k=200N/m

Compression x = 15cm = 0.15m

Attached mass m =2kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction uk= 0.2

The energy in the spring is given as

U =½kx²

U = ½ × 200 × 0.15²

U = 2.25J

Force in the spring is given by Hooke's law

F = ke

F = 200×0.15

F = 30N

The weight of body which is equal to the normal is give as

W = mg

W = 2 × 9.81

W = 19.62N

W = N = 19.62 Newton's 2nd Law

From law of friction,

Fr = uk•N

Fr = 0.2 × 19.62

Fr = 3.924

Using newton second law again

Fnet = F - Fr

Fnet = 30 - 3.924

Fnet = 26.076

Work done by net force is given as

W = Fnet × d

W = 26.076d

Then, the work done by this net force is equal to the energy in the spring

W = U

26.076d = 2.25

d = 2.25/26.076

d = 0.0863m

Which is 8.63cm

So the box will slide 8.63cm before stopping

Answer:

<u>Question 2</u>

<u>Part (a)</u>

Chlorine:  type of compound = chloride

Oxygen:  type of compound = oxide

<u>Part (b)</u>

The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form rust.

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms joined to one oxygen atom:  Di-hydrogen oxide.

<u>Question 3</u>

This circuit is in parallel.

The current in a parallel circuit splits into different branches then combines again before it goes back into the supply.

We are told that A₁ = 0.8 A

As the lamps have <u>equal resistance</u>, the current splits equally:

A₂ = 0.4 A

A₃ = 0.4 A

Then combines again:

A₄ = 0.8 A

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
erastova [34]

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.


Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is W=F\times d.

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the sin(90)=0 meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is F\times d\times \cos(\theta).

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon
fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.
