Answer:

2as = v² - u²

v = √(2as + u²)

v = √(2 x 4 x 400 + 13²)

v = 58 m/s

A block of mass m1 = 3.5 kg moves with velocity v1 = 6.3 m/s on a frictionless surface. it collides with block of mass m2 = 1.7
maxonik [38]
First, let's find the speed v_i of the two blocks m1 and m2 sticked together after the collision.
We can use the conservation of momentum to solve this part. Initially, block 2 is stationary, so only block 1 has momentum different from zero, and it is:
p_i = m_1 v_1
After the collision, the two blocks stick together and so now they have mass m_1 +m_2 and they are moving with speed v_i:
p_f = (m_1 + m_2)v_i
For conservation of momentum
p_i=p_f
So we can write
m_1 v_1 = (m_1 +m_2)v_i
From which we find
v_i =  \frac{m_1 v_1}{m_1+m_2}= \frac{(3.5 kg)(6.3 m/s)}{3.5 kg+1.7 kg}=4.2 m/s

The two blocks enter the rough path with this velocity, then they are decelerated because of the frictional force \mu (m_1+m_2)g. The work done by the frictional force to stop the two blocks is
\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
where d is the distance covered by the two blocks before stopping.
The initial kinetic energy of the two blocks together, just before entering the rough path, is
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2
When the two blocks stop, all this kinetic energy is lost, because their velocity becomes zero; for the work-energy theorem, the loss in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the frictional force:
\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_i^2 =\mu (m_1+m_2)g  d
From which we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:
\mu =  \frac{v_i^2}{2gd}= \frac{(4.2 m/s)^2}{2(9.81 m/s^2)(1.85 m)}=0.49

Calculate the average orbital speed of Ceres in
marin [14]
] Ceres is composed of rock and ice and is estimated to comprise approximately one third of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. Ceres is the only object in the asteroid belt known to be rounded by its own gravity (though detailed analysis was required to exclude 4 Vesta). From Earth, the apparent magnitude of Ceres ranges from 6.7 to 9.3, peaking once every 15 to 16 months,[21]hence even at its brightest it is too dim to be seen with the naked eye except under extremely dark skies.

A tennis ball is a hollow sphere with a thin wall. It is set rolling without slipping at 4.03 m/s on the horizontal section of a
seraphim [82]

Answer:

2.38 m/s, 4.31 m/s, lower

Explanation:

a)

Initial energy = final energy

½ m v₀² + ½ I ω₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ I ω₁²

Since the ball is rolling without slipping, ω = v / r.

For a hollow sphere, I = ⅔ m r².

½ m v₀² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₀ / r)² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₁ / r)²

½ m v₀² + ⅓ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ⅓ m v₁²

⅚ m v₀² = mgh + ⅚ m v₁²

⅚ v₀² = gh + ⅚ v₁²

v₀² = 1.2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

Given v₀ = 4.03 m/s, g = 9.80 m/s, h = 0.900 m:

v₁ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (0.900))

v₁ ≈ 2.38 m/s

At the top of the loop, the sum of the forces in the radial direction is:

∑F = ma

W + N = m v² / R

N = m v² / R - mg

N = m (v² / R - g)

Given v = 2.38 m/s, R = 0.450 m, and g = 9.80 m/s²:

N = m ((2.38)² / 0.450 - 9.80)

N = 2.77m

N ≥ 0, so the ball stays on the track.

b)

Initial energy = final energy

Borrowing from part a):

v₂ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

This time, h = -0.200 m:

v₂ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (-0.200))

v₂ ≈ 4.31 m/s

c)

Without the rotational energy:

½ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁²

½ v₀² = gh + ½ v₁²

v₀² = 2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² - 2gh)

This is less than v₁ we calculated earlier.
