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]

Given the scope of Kayla’s education, training, and years of experience as a CMA, would this “favor” fall within the AAMA guidel
Cerrena [4.2K]

Based on the information given, it can be inferred that the favor doesn't fall within the AAMA guidelines of her responsibilities.

From the information given, it should be noted that the guidelines of CMA as stipulated under the American Association of Medical Assistant prohibits the CMA from interpreting the medical data of the patient. Therefore, the favor that was asked by Dr. Hsu of Kayla is simply against the guidelines.

Even though the favor that was asked by Dr. Hsu was prohibited by AAMA, it should be noted that the final part of the favor about faxing the report to the internist would fall within AAMA guidelines.

In conclusion, the best way that Kayla can respond to Dr. Hsu is to decline doing the favor.

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

              Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

                                E_{i}  = E_{f}

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

K.E_{i} + P.E_{i} = K.E_{f} + P.E_{f}       (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

                 K.E_{i} = 0    and    P.E_{i} = mgh          

and when it reaches the river, it has

       K.E_{f}  = 1/2mv^{2}    and   P.E_{f}  = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

                              0 + mgh = 1/2mv^{2} + 0

                                      mgh = 1/2mv^{2}

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em>                                           </em>gh = 1/2v^{2}

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 3.63 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.473 mm. The capacitor is
NARA [144]

Answer:

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

a=  3.63 cm

Area ,A= a²

distance ,d= 0.473 mm

Stored energy ,U = 8.49 nJ

Value of capacitor given as

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

By putting the values

C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3.63^2\times 10^{-4}}{0.473\times 10^{-3}}

C=2.46 x 10⁻¹¹ F

U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

V=Voltage difference

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2U}{C}}

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 8.49\times 10^{-9}}{2.46\times 10^{-11}}}

V=26.27 V

V= E d

E=Electric filed

26.27 = E x 0.473 x 10⁻³

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m
