Answer:

d = 8 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of energy, where the mechanical energy in a state plus the work done on the body, must be equal to the mechanical energy in the state Y. This can be easily represented in the following equation.

E_{x}+W_{x-y}=E_{y}

where:

Ex = Mechanical energy in X [J]

Wx-y = Work among states x and y [J]

Ey = Mechanical energy in Y [J].

The key to being able to understand this problem is that in state X, we only have kinetic energy, while the energy in state Y is equal to zero (there is no movement). The work is equal to the product of force by distance, as work acts in the opposite direction to movement, this has a negative sign.

800 - F*d = 0\\100*d = 800\\d = 800/100\\d = 8 [m]

(II) How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kg crate 10.3 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if
Gwar [14]

Answer:

2324 J

Explanation:

The formula for work is:

W=F*d

where F is the force applied, and d is the distance moved, in this case d=10.3m

and we need to find F.

Since the crate is not moving up or down, we conclude that the <u>normal force must be equal to the weight </u>of the object:

N=w

where N is the normal force and w is the weight, which is: w=mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration g=9,81m/s^2 and m is the mass m=46kg.

---------

Thus the normal force is:

N=mg

Now, the force due to the friction is defined as:

f=\mu N=\mu mg

where \mu is the coefficient of friction, \mu =0.5

So, for the crate to move, the force applied must be equal to the frictional force:

F=f\\F=\mu mg

And now that we know the force we can calculate the work:

W=F*d\\W=\mu mg*d

substituting known values:

W=(0.5)(46kg)(9.81m/s^2)(10.3)\\W=2324J

A 62.0-kg skier is moving at 6.30 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal, snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 4.90
Klio2033 [76]
Here are the missing questions:
(a) How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill?
(b) How much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?
Part A
The initial kinetic energy of the skier is:
E_{k0}=m\frac{v_0^2}{2}
Part of this energy is then used to do work against the force of friction. Force of friction on the horizontal surface can be calculated using following formula:
F_f=mg\mu
The work is simply the force times the length:
W_f=F_f\cdot L=mg\mu L
So when the skier passes over the rough patch its energy is:
E=E_{k0}-W_f
When the skier is going down the skill gravitational potential energy is transformed into the kinetic energy:
E_p=E_{k1}\\ mgh=E_{k1}
So the final energy of the skier is:
E_f=E_{k0}-W_f+E_{k1}\\ E_f=m\frac{v_0^2}{2}-mg\mu L+mgh=1856.86$J
This energy is the kinetic energy of the skier:
E_f=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}\\ v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2E_f}{m}}=7.74\frac{m}{s}
Part B
We know that skier lost some of its kinetic energy when crossing over the rough patch. This energy is equal to the work done by the skier against the force of friction.
E_{int}=W_f\\&#10;E_{int}=mg\mu L=894.1$J

What is the potential energy of two electrons that are separated by a distance of 3.5 x 10^-11m ?
Simora [160]

Answer:

6.58×10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Applying

E = kq²/r.................. Equation 1

Where E = potential energy, q = charge on each electron, r = distance between the electron, k = coulomb's constant.

From the question,

Given: r = 3.5×10⁻¹¹ m,

Constant: q = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C, k = 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = (1.6×10⁻¹⁹)²(8.99×10⁹)/(3.5×10⁻¹¹)

E = 6.58×10⁻¹⁸ J

Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.205 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.720 m/s. It runs into another clay
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Final velocity, v = 0.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the model, m_1=0.205\ kg

Speed of the model, u_1=0.72\ m/s

Mass of another model, m_2=0.32\ kg

Initial speed of another model, u_2=0

To find,

Final velocity

Solution,

Let V is the final velocity. As both being soft clay, they naturally stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{0.205\times 0.72+0.32\times 0}{(0.205+0.32)}

V = 0.28 m/s

So, their final velocity is 0.28 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
