A 20-kilogram child is riding on a 10-kg sled over a frictionless icy surface at 8.0 meters per second. Calculate the kinetic en

Answer:

K = 960 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child = 20 kg

Mass of a sled = 10 kg

Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.

The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg

= 30 kg

The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times (8)^2\\\\K=960\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl

-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.

At t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 25.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 26.0 rad/s2 until a cir

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a) The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians, b) The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds, c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.

Explanation:

Since the grinding wheel accelerates and decelerates at constant rate, motion can be represented by the following kinematic equations:

$\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

Where:

$\theta_{o}$ , $\theta$ - Initial and final angular position, measured in radians.

$\omega_{o}$ , $\omega$ - Initial and final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

Likewise, the grinding wheel experiments two different regimes:

1) The grinding wheel accelerates during 2.40 seconds.

2) The grinding wheel decelerates until rest is reached.

a) The change in angular position during the Acceleration Stage can be obtained of the following expression:

$\theta - \theta_{o} = \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\theta-\theta_{o} = \left(25\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)^{2}$

$\theta-\theta_{o} = 134.88\,rad$

The final angular angular speed can be found by the equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

If $\omega_{o} = 25\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $t = 2.40\,s$ and $\alpha = 26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , then:

$\omega = 25\,\frac{rad}{s} + \left(26\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (2.40\,s)$

$\omega = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$

The total angle that grinding wheel did from t = 0 s and the time it stopped is:

$\Delta \theta = 134.88\,rad + 435\,rad$

$\Delta \theta = 569.88\,rad$

The total angle of the grinding wheel is 569.88 radians.

b) Before finding the instant when the grinding wheel stops, it is needed to find the value of angular deceleration, which can be determined from the following kinematic expression:

$\omega^{2} = \omega_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot \alpha \cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})$

The angular acceleration is now cleared:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot (\theta-\theta_{o})}$

Given that $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\theta-\theta_{o} = 435\,rad$ , the angular deceleration is:

$\alpha = \frac{ \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(435\,rad\right)}$

$\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time interval of the Deceleration Phase is obtained from this formula:

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha \cdot t$

$t = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{\alpha}$

If $\omega_{o} = 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\omega = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $\alpha = -8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , the time interval is:

$t = \frac{0\,\frac{rad}{s} - 87.4\,\frac{rad}{s} }{-8.780\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 9.954\,s$

The total time needed for the grinding wheel before stopping is:

$t_{T} = 2.40\,s + 9.954\,s$

$t_{T} = 12.354\,s$

The grinding wheel stop at t = 12.354 seconds.

c) The deceleration experimented by the grinding wheel was 8.780 radians per square second.
