The answer to this question is A.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force
R = mg where m is mass of the block
Force of friction F = μ x mg
= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8
= 20.68 N
b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so
deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²
acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²
c )
v² = u² - 2 a s
v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s
a = 1.7 m /s
0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s
s = 4.47 m
The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
A) 
The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):
(1)
where k is the spring constant.
The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
(2)
where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.
We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

And using (1), we find

Substituting
into the last equation, we find the value of x:

B) 
In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

Since we have

we can write

And so we find:

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.
Average velocity = distance / time
Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s
