A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur

face which causes the block to come to a complete stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.5.
Calculate the distance the block slides while coming to a stop. Show all work.

Answer:

d = 2.54 [m]

Explanation:

Through the theorem of work and energy conservation, we can find the work that is done. Considering that the energy in the initial state is only kinetic energy, while the energy in the final state is also kinetic, however, this is zero since the body stops.

E_{k1}+W=E_{k2}\\

where:

W = work [J]

Ek1 = kinetic energy at initial state [J]

Ek2 = kinetic energy at the final state = 0.

We must remember that kinetic energy can be calculated by means of the following expression.

\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}-W=0\\W= \frac{1}{2} *4*(5)^{2}\\W= 50 [J]

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W=F*d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

But the friction force is equal to the product of the normal force (body weight) by the coefficient of friction.

f=m*g*0.5\\f = 4*9.81*0.5\\f = 19.62 [N]

Now solving the equation for the work.

d=W/F\\d = 50/19.62\\d = 2.54[m]

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

Consider the three dip1acement vectors A = (3i - 3j) m, B = (i-4j) m, and C = (-2i + 5j) m. Use the component method to determin
tia_tia [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a.D=A+B+C

D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j

D=2i-2j

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude=\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2 units

By using the formula \mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Direction:\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}

By using the formula

Direction of D:\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}

b.E=-A-B+C

E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j

E=-6i+12j

\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4units

Direction of E=\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}
