A small block of mass m1 = 0.4 kg is placed on a long slab of mass m2 = 2.8 kg. Initially, the slab is stationary and the block

moves at a speed of vo = 3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the slab is 0.15 and there is no friction between the slab and the surface on which it moves.
Determine the speed v1.

Determine the distance traveled by the slab before it reaches the speed v1.

Answer:

v₁ = 0.375 m / s ,   x = 0.335 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.

We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.

initial moment. Right at the start of the movement

       p₀ = m v₀ + 0

final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium

      p_{f} = (m + M) v₁

how the forces are internal

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v₀ = (m + M) v₁

       v₁ = m /m+M    v₀

let's calculate

       v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8)  3

       v₁ = 0.375 m / s

 

Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force

Y axis

       N - W = 0

       N = W

       N = m g

where m is the mass of the block

the friction force has the formula

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ m g

We apply Newton's second law to slab    

X axis

       fr = M a

where M is the mass of the slab

       μ m g = M a

       a = μ g m / M

let's calculate

       a = 0.15  9.8  0.4 / 2.8

       a = 0.21 m / s²

With kinematics we can find the position

       v²= v₀²+2 a x

as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

       v² = 2 a x

       x = v2 / 2a

let's calculate

        x = 0.375²/2 0.21

        x = 0.335 m

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

b) <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d) <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Intensity of the light I = 2500 W/m^2

speed of light c<u> </u>= 3 x 10^8 m/s

a) we know that the pressure for for a totally absorbing surface is given as

P_{abs} = I/c = 2500/(3 x 10^8) = <em>8.33 x 10^-6 Pa</em>

b) 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{abs} = (8.33 x 10^-6)/101325 = <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) for a totally reflecting surface

P_{ref} = 2I/c = twice the value for totally absorbing

P_{ref}  = 2 x 8.33 x 10^-6 = <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d)  1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{ref} = 2 x 8.23 x 10^-11  = <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>
