A bin is given a push across a horizontal surface. The bin has a mass m, the push gives it an initial speed of 1.60 m/s, and the
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The bin moves 0.87 m before it stops.

Explanation:

If we analyze the situation and apply the law of conservation of energy to this case, we get:

Energy Dissipated through Friction = Change in Kinetic Energy of Bin (Loss)

F d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)

where,

F = Frictional Force = μR    

but, R = Normal Reaction = Weight of Bin = mg

Therefore, F = μmg

Hence, the equation becomes:

μmg d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)

μg d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)

d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)/μg

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, bin finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.6 m/s

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15

g = 9.8 m/s²

d = distance moved by bin before coming to stop = ?

Therefore,

d = (0.5)[(1.6 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²]/(0.15)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>d = 0.87 m</u>

a body dropped from a height reaches a velocity of 13m/s just before touching the ground. What is the initial height of the ball
SashulF [63]

Hi there!

We can use the following (derived) equation to solve for the final velocity given height:

vf = √2gh

We can rearrange to solve for height:

vf² = 2gh

vf²/2g = h

Plug in the given values (g = 9.81 m/s²)

(13)²/2(9.81) = 8.614 m

We can calculate time using the equation:

vf = vi + at, where:

vi = initial velocity (since dropped from rest, = 0 m/s)

a = acceleration (in this instance, due to gravity)

Plug in values:

13 = at

13/a = t

13/9.81 = 1.325 sec

Which of the following processes are spontaneous? Check all that apply.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature.

(2) The combustion of natural gas.

Explanation:

The spontaneous process is the process in which there is a release of energy and moves towards lower energy and a more thermodynamically stable energy state. All the natural processes are spontaneous.

There are two processes which are spontaneous in the given question are:

(1) A hot drink cooling to room temperature: In this, there is a decrease in energy and also it is a natural process and we know that all the natural processes are spontaneous.

(2) The combustion of natural gas: The fire is an example of an exothermic reaction. The combustion is a combination of a decrease in energy and an increase in entropy. So, this process occurs spontaneously.

g You drop a 3.6-kg ball from a height of 3.5 m above one end of a uniform bar that pivots at its center. The bar has mass 9.9 k
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

h = 3.5 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the final speed of the ball when it collides with a seesaw. Using the third equation of motion:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 3.5 m

vf = final speed = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)(3.5\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\v_f = \sqrt{68.67\ m^2/s^2}\\v_f = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of colliding ball = 3.6 kg

m₂ = mass of ball on the other end = 3.6 kg

v₁ = vf = final velocity of ball while collision = 8.3 m/s

v₂ = vi = initial velocity of other end ball = ?

Therefore,

(3.6\ kg)(8.3\ m/s)=(3.6\ kg)(v_i)\\v_i = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we again use the third equation of motion for the upward motion of the ball:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative for upward motion)

h = height = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 8.3 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(8.3\ m/s)^2\\

<u>h = 3.5 m</u>
