Answer:

Option C: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop"

Explanation:

Since this is a real event, and not an ideal situation where there is no friction forces acting between the frozen pond and the rock, there is going to exist some force of dynamic friction (even small) acting between them. One can look up coefficients of dynamic friction between similar objects, and realize that some small force will be acting as the rock slides on the surface of the pond. That force acts always opposite the direction of movement, therefore decelerating the rock. The rock's speed will continue reducing in magnitude until it eventually stops.

Then, the selected answer is: "The rock will slow down and eventually stop."

A closed circuit is formed by a solid conductor in contact with two parallel conducting rails that are closed on their left end,
castortr0y [4]

this is an equation that you need to solve for motional emf. motional emf=vBL, where v is velocity in meters/second, B is magnetic field in Teslas and L is length or distance the rails are apart from each other. when we plug everything into the formula given above, we get: motional emf=5m/s*0.80T*0.20m. solving all this we get 0.8 volts. pretty sure that since they are giving you the direction of the field, they want to know which way the current will flow . since the conductor is moving from left to right the area of the field is increasing which means magnetic flux is increasing as Ф(magnetic flux)=B(magnetic field)*A(area)*cosФ(little phi is the angle to the normal. in this case little fee is 0 degrees so the cosФ doesn't matter). so ↑Ф=B↑A. if magnetic flux is increasing, the induced magnetic field is in the opposite direction as the original magnetic field meaning the induced magnetic field will be out of the page. using the right hand rule which says that if the field is in to the page, the current should go clockwise and if the field is out of the page, the current is counterclockwise so that means that the current should be going counter clockwise since the induced field is going out of the screen. the top of the conducting wire will have its current go to the left and the bottom of the conducting wire will have the current go to the right.

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  L = 5076.5 kg m² / s

Explanation:

The angular momentum of a particle is given by

         L = r xp

         L = r m v sin θ

the bold are vectors, where the angle is between the position vector and the velocity, in this case it is 90º therefore the sine is 1

as we have two bodies

       L = 2 r m v

let's find the distance from the center of mass, let's place a reference frame on one of the masses

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{M} \sum  x_{i} m_{i}i

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{m+m} ( 0 + l m)

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2m}  lm

        x_{cm} = \frac{1}{2}

        x_{cm} = 13.1 / 2 = 6.05 m

let's calculate

          L = 2  6.05  74.3  5.65

          L = 5076.5 kg m² / s
