The body weighing 2 kg moves through the horizontal surface and crosses the path x = 75 cm The coefficient of friction of the bo

dy and horizontal surface is 0.8. If the kinetic energy of the body in the starting position is 16J, how much will the kinetic energy of the body be in the definitive position?

The kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

Explanation:

As per the work energy theorem, the work done on any system or object to move it from one position to another is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. In this case, the body weighing 2 kg is moved over an horizontal surface for a distance of 75 cm. As there will be frictional force acting on the body while moving over the surface. This frictional force multiplied by the distance the object is moved will give the work done on the body.

Frictional force = Coeffficent of friction × Normal force.

As the weight of the body is 2 kg, the normal force acting on it will be mass multiplied with acceleration due to gravity.

Frictional force = - 0.8×9.8 × 2 =-15.68 N

So the work done will be the product of frictional force with the displacement of 75 cm or 0.75 m.

Work done =  Frictional force × Displacement

Work done = -15.68×0.75 = -11.76 J.

So the work is done by the object.

If the kinetic energy of the body at starting is 16 J, then the kinetic energy of the body at definitive position will be obtained as below.

Work done = change in kinetic energy

-11.76 J = Final kinetic energy-16 J

Final Kinetic energy = - 11.76+16

Final kinetic energy = 4.24 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

Why do temperatures on the moons surface vary ncyb more than temperatures on earth
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The moon has no atmosphere

Explanation:

The temperatures on the surface of the Moon vary much more than those on Earth because the moon has no atmosphere (third answer in the list), and therefore there are no molecules that could retain residual heat and make the change from day to night a softer transition.

A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay
yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = 20\times 1=20\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s
