A 2.50kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0350m . The spring has fo

rce constant 895N/m . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is 0.45 . The block and spring are released from rest and the block slides along the floor.
What is the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 0.0150m from its initial position? (At this point the spring is compressed 0.0200m .)

Answer:

0.617m/s = 61.7cm/s

Explanation:

To find the values of the velocity you take into account the following formula:

W_T=\Delta E_k=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v_o^2)  (1)

That is, total work equals the change in the kinetic energy.

v_o: initial velocity = 0

m: mass = 2.50kg

The total work is:

W_T=Fd+F_fd=kxd+(0.45)d (2)

x: the distance in wich the spring has been compressed

d: distance of the work

you will calculate v for a distance d = 0.0150m. By replacing in (2) and taking into account (2) you obtain:

(895N/m)(0.0350m)(0.0150m)+(0.45N)(0.0150m)=0.476J\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2W_T}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.476J)}{2.50kg}}=0.617\frac{m}{s}

hence, the velocity is 0.617m/s = 61.7cm/s

What is the angular position in radians of the minute hand of a clock at 2:55?
OleMash [197]
Refer to the diagram shown.

There are twelve 5-minute divisions.
Each 5-minute division is equal to 360°/12 = 30°.

By convention, angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
The angular position of the minute hand at 2:55 is
θ = 90° + 30° = 120°

Because 360° = 2π radians, therefore
θ = (120/360)*2π = (2π)/3 radians  = 2.0944 radians

Answer: (2π)/3 radians ofr 2.0944 radians.

A student is hammering a nail into a board. Where should he hold the hammer and why?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

At the end of the handle farthest from the head of the hammer.

Explanation:

The force of the hammer is greatest the longer the radius is on a which would be the length of the handle. Simple mechanical advantage.
